Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 17) — Eleven more Filipinos, including two minors, are coming home amid the fighting in Libya. The Philippine Embassy in Libya on Friday said the Filipinos have been evacuated to Tunisia, another North African country some 400 kilometers from the Libyan capital of Tripoli, waiting for their repatriation. At least two of them were wounded – one wounded from an explosion while the other was injured during multiple rocket attacks in Tripoli. Cato, however, admitted to CNN Philippines the government could not force anyone to go home. Tensions rose in Libya as rebel forces from the east of the country try to enter the capital.
