After being stranded for more than a month in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, some 74 repatriated Filipinos, some of them children, arrived home shortly after midnight Tuesday.
Radio dzBB’s Denver Trinidad reported early Wednesday the 74 Filipinos arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 on a Gulf Air flight shortly after midnight.
They were the latest batch of Filipinos repatriated from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia since January.
Overseas Workers Welfare Administration head Carmelita Dimzon said the Filipinos could not leave until recently due to problems with Saudi immigration authorities.
The Filipinos were allowed to leave only after their employers lifted objections to their departure.
