MANILA (AFP) - The Philippine government said on Friday four Filipina maids who had been working for deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's family were missing and had made a tearful call home for help.
The four had been working for one of Gaddafi's nieces in Tripoli before the rebel advance sent the strongman and his relatives fleeing the Libyan capital.
Over recent days one of the four made a mobile phone call to her sister in the Philippines appealing for help, although little information about their location was given, said Vice President Jejomar Binay's spokesman.
'We don't know where they are. All they said is they are always crying,' the spokesman, Joey Salgado, told AFP.
