                    [Summary] => Despite the security risks, the Philippines is considering sending more troops to Haiti as part of United Nations peacekeeping forces in that war-torn Caribbean nation, diplomatic sources said yesterday.


Philippine Army S/Sgt. Antonio Batomalaque was shot dead by a sniper while on duty with UN troops in Port-au-Prince, Haiti last month.


Diplomatic sources said the Philippines was among the first countries to pledge troops after UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called for an increased presence of UN forces in Haiti.
