Aquino said Monday that Filipino diplomats have made a final plea to Filipinos to leave the besieged North African nation after allied forces started launching strikes to enforce a no-fly zone and prevent Libyan Muammar Qaddafi’s forces from attacking civilians.

Aquino says it has become difficult to find a ferry, including those from Europe, that will agree to ferry Filipinos out of Libya due to security concerns.
The Philippines is one of the world’s largest labor exporters.
