            Philippines Recalls UN Peacekeepers From Golan, Liberia

   by VOA News

   The Philippines will recall more than 400 troops serving as U.N.
   peacekeepers in the Golan Heights and Liberia amid concerns about the
   deteriorating security in the Middle East and the Ebola outbreak in
   Africa.

   Department of National Defense officials said Saturday that the 332
   Philippine troops in Golan will be sent home after their tour of duty
   ends in October and about 115 others in Liberia will be "repatriated as
   soon as possible."

   Department spokesman Peter Paul Galvez said the Philippines remains
   committed to peacekeeping missions of the United Nations.
