MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Saturday confirmed that Fr. Marvin Mejia of the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) was among those injured in the recent bus accident in Mount Sinai.<\/p>\n

“Fr. Mejia is one of the 23 Filipinos plus some Fil-Am tourists who were in a bus accident near St. Catherine\u2019s Monastery in the Sinai on their way to the border crossing into Israel,” DFA Assistant Secretary Eduardo Me\u00f1ez told reporters.<\/p>\n

“As I mentioned before, the DFA was told that the group requested not to share information about the incident, but obviously well-meaning friends have shared information about the accident on social media,” he said.<\/p>\n

According to Me\u00f1ez, many of the Filipinos who were part of the “Holy Land tour” will be returning to the Philippines in the next few days.<\/p>\n

The extent of the injuries suffered by the victims ranged from bruises to broken bones, and most of them have been discharged from the hospital in Sharm-el-Sheik, he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Me\u00f1ez assured that the Philippine Embassy in Egypt, as well as the Filipino community in the area, has rendered assistance to the group in coordination with the travel agencies involved.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, Caloocan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David relayed an official communication from CBCP President, Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles, who asked the public for prayers for those badly injured.<\/p>\n

Valles confirmed that one of the passengers died, and a number were injured, including Fr. Mejia.<\/p>\n

\u201cFr. Mejia and the rest of the group, particularly those who were injured, got help and assistance from the Apostolic Nunciature in Cairo, Egypt, especially that there is a Filipino priest there, Fr. Limchua, who is also from Cebu, working in that Apostolic Nunciature,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are awaiting further notice.<\/p>\n

Me\u00f1ez confirmed that the lone fatality was the American husband of one of the Fil-Am ladies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe US embassy is assisting in that regard,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
