[Title] => Pinoys return from Malaysia raises alarm
[Summary] => ZAMBOANGA CITY (AFP) - The Philippines is grappling with an influx of its citizens fleeing neighboring Malaysias harsh laws against illegals.
Thousands of sun-drenched Filipinos, some risking their lives packed like sardines in small leaky boats, have been arriving daily in recent weeks in the southern Philippines from the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah on Borneo island.
They have been dubbed here as "boat people," a term used for the boatloads of southern Vietnamese fleeing the new communist regime in Hanoi in the late 1970s.
