Press Trust of India Manila, September 02

A Philippine team is to leave on Monday to check on the plight of at least 80,000 Filipino illegal migrants awaiting deportation from Sabah amid allegations of abuses by Malaysian authorities, officials said.

President Gloria Arroyo's adviser on Muslim affairs, Nur Jaafar, will lead the delegation, which was formed after Manila filed a diplomatic protest against Kuala Lumpur last week.
