Press Statement
5 November 2012
On Saudi authorities’ confirmation that the driver of the fuel tanker that exploded in Riyadh is a Filipino, We appeal on our fellow OFWs to refrain from publicly issuing speculations as it may not help and would only farther confuse the public and the Filipino communities in Saudi Arabia.
However, let’s be vigilant and take extra care for the negative repercussion of this recent development implicating our fellow OFW as the driver of the exploded fuel tanker. We warn our fellow OFWs to stay cool and avoid engaging in case there are hate campaigns against OFWs in the Kingdom.
We call on the PH govt., the DFA and the PH embassy to extend assistance to the Filipino allegedly driving the exploded fuel tanker.
