Eighty-four overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) doing time in Kuwait jails will make it home to spend Christmas with their families, the Department of the Foreign Affairs (DFA) said yesterday.


Part of a batch of 116 workers facing various minor charges in Kuwait, the OFWs will be repatriated following negotiations between the Philippine embassy and Kuwaiti authorities, the DFA said.

                    [Summary] => China has acceded to a Philippine request to free an ailing Filipino seaman just three and a half years into his 10-year prison sentence, Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople said yesterday. 


Ople said Chinese Supreme Court vice president Jiang Xingchang agreed to free Rizalde Astrolabio, 40, "to underscore the good relations with the Philippines and as a humanitarian gesture."


Astrolabio will be freed on parole as soon as administrative procedures are completed, Ople said, although he could not give a specific date.
