The Philippine Embassy in Beirut is recommending the voluntary repatriation of Filipinos living in Lebanon as border tensions rise between Israel and Hezbollah in the wake of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Friday.
“The Philippines is deeply concerned about the rising number of victims and the safety of all persons, as well as the dire humanitarian consequences of the conflict in Israel and in Gaza,” Mr. Marcos said in his intervention during the first ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council Summit in Riyadh. “We are just awaiting formal written designation but our embassy in Beirut acting on presumption that it is now Level 3,” he said.
The Philippine Embassy in Beirut said in its Oct. 19 advisory that there have been ongoing mass protests across the country and “persistent tension” in the southern border. Meanwhile, the Philippine Embassy in Cairo also issued an advisory after noting that there are “currently random marches/demonstrations in Egypt, including others planned for the future.”
OWWA administrator Arnell Ignacio said there were still no reports on the whereabouts of the two missing Filipinos.
