A 500-member team of Philippines peacekeepers and humanitarian workers are expected in Iraq in late May to help with post-war rehabilitation and reconstruction, Defence Secretary Angelo Reyes says.
A 12-member advance team is to fly to Qatar next week ahead of the Filipino team of soldiers, policemen, military engineers and doctors, nurses, social workers and diplomats.
"The entire mission will be in Iraq in the second half of May," Mr Reyes said over ABS-CBN television here.
