[Title] => Send Filipino troops to join a UN ‘force’ in Lebanon? We’ll spend millions to try to rescue them later
[Summary] =>
Speaker Jose de Venecia must be kidding, or more accurately grandstanding, when he offers to send Filipino troops to join any United Nations "force" to restore peace in war-ravaged Lebanon. They must be laughing at the very notion, in fact, all over the world.

[Title] => The DFA and our government may be doing their best: But our rescue efforts look woefully pathetic
[Summary] =>
The stampede on the part of many nations to rescue their nationals from burning Beirut and aircraft-pounded, shell-wracked Lebanon exposes us as a country unprepared for any emergency – not only foreign, I’m sorry to say, but even domestic.
This is because we fritter away our funds making our politicians millionaires, and pogi projects made them, from top to bottom, look and "smell" good in pursuit not of the general welfare but of the next election.

[Title] => Perhaps many of our OFWs don’t want to come home – Lebanon may be ‘safer’
[Summary] =>
Everybody’s jumping for publicity’s sake on the urgency of rescuing our 30,000 Filipinos from war-torn Lebanon, with Senator Ralph Recto, for instance, proposing that our government allocate part of its P2.8 billion income from the "internal income" of the Department of Foreign Affairs (coming from passport and consular fees, etc.) to ensure that the 30,000 Filipinos there are safely evacuated.
