                    [Summary] => Sen. Manuel Villar asked the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) yesterday to assist a Filipino carpenter in New York who is fighting for custody of his two children after their mother died in the Sept. 11 bombing of the World Trade Center (WTC).


Villar, chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations, said that the DFA must help Cesar Gabriel appeal a New York court ruling that awarded custody of his two children — seven-year-old Yvonne and five-year-old Angel — to their aunt.
