Via the IPEZone, I came across this:
At least 2,300 Filipino nurses have refused to be evacuated even after the United Nations approved military strikes against Libya.
Acting [Filipino] Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said the nurses, 2,000 of whom are based in capital Tripoli and 383 in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, opted to stay following request from the Libyan government, which promised to increase their pay significantly if they remain.
