The Department of Migrant Workers on Wednesday admitted to facing a few setbacks in having the 63 Filipinos from Haiti get repatriated amid the ongoing violent gang activities there.“Right now, may difficulty. Sarado ang international airport and even land travel is hindered, lalo na ang travel to the capital. So sa ngayon, quietly, isinasaayos pa 'yung chartered flight pauwi,” DMW officer-in-charge Hans Cacdac said at a press conference Wednesday.

The Department of Foreign Affairs earlier raised the alert level in Haiti to 3, mandating voluntary repatriation for Filipinos "in view of the current unstable security situation” there.There are 169 recorded Filipinos in Haiti, with the majority of them residing in the capital Port-au-Prince.Cacdac said that the DMW is still coordinating with the DFA and the Philippine Embassy in Washington for the repatriation of the Filipinos who want to go home.
