MANILA, Philippines?(UPDATE 2) The family of Camille Lou Castillo Libron (not Lidron as earlier reported) has asked the Department of Foreign Affairs? help the contacting Yemenia Airways.

After confirming that Libron was on board the Yemeni passenger plane that crashed off the Comoros islands last June 30, Libron?s mother Lucia told the DFA that her daughter?s employer has not contacted the family yet.

?The DFA is making representations with Yemenia on behalf of the family of Ms. Libron," the department said in a statement.

The department said the family got confirmation from the in-flight manager of Yemenia Airways that Libron was on board Airbus A31, which had 153 passengers and 11 crew members on board.

It also corrected its previous statement that Libron had a Yemeni husband named Jana Tamah, who confirmed she was on board.

?The Philippine embassy in Riyadh also verified initial reports and learned that Ms. Jana Garcia Tamah and her husband, Mr. Khalid Tamah, are co-workers of Ms. Libron. They also confirmed that Ms. Libron was on the Yemeni flight. Ms. Libron is 26 yrs old and single,? the DFA said.
