PHL Embassy fails to secure Binay audience with Saudi King


Vice President Jejomar Binay was not issued an entry visa to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after the Philippine Embassy failed to secure him an audience with KSA's King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud. In a statement issued on Monday, Binay's office confirmed that he was not given an entry visa because the Philippine Embassy was "unable" to secure him an audience with the Saudi King. "Vice President Binay regrets the cancellation of his visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He was looking forward to meeting with overseas Filipino workers (OFW)," said the Office of the Vice President (OVP). The OVP noted, however, that Binay has instructed the embassy to make the "needed arrangements" for another visit to the Kingdom soon. - VVP, GMA News
