And that started with the decision to avoid letting the work to a main contractor in the traditional way. read more. 2 Pinoys die while fleeing from war in LebanonMANILA -- The Philippine Embassy in Lebanon on Thursday confirmed the death of two Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who died after falling from the buildings they had been staying in.
