The Department of Foreign Affairs will make representations with Yemenia on behalf of the family of the lone Filipino fatality in the passenger plane that crashed last Tuesday.
“Mrs. Lucia Libron said Yemenia has not contacted the family and is seeking assistance from the DFA,” the DFA said in a text message to abs-cbnNEWS.com.
The DFA identified that Filipino Camille Lou Castillo Libron, 26 years old, single, was on board the Yemeni Airline plane.
“The family of Camille Lou Castillo Libron informed the Department of Foreign Affairs today that they received confirmation from the in-flight manager of Yemeni Airways that Ms. Libron was on board the Yemeni Passenger plane that crashed off the Comoros Islands last June 30,” said the DFA.
Two of Libron’s co-workers identified as Jane Garcia Tamah and husband Khalid Tamah also confirmed that she was on the Yemeni Flight.
A radio dzMM report, meanwhile, said that Libron was a fine arts graduate from the University of Cebu.
The report stated that according to the Filipina's uncle, Greg Lidron, she was not supposed to be on board the ill-fated Yemenia Airways flight. The uncle said Libron was assigned to take the spot of an on-leave Malaysian stewardess, the radio report added.
The uncle said Libron’s mother has flown to Manila to wait for her remains. The Filipina's father is a seafarer, the report said.
Agence France Presse reported that only a 14-year-old girl survived the crash and is now recovering.
The Yemeni Airbus had 153 passengers.
