Duterte orders military to prepare for possible repatriation of Pinoys in Iraq, Iran

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the military to prepare its aircraft and ships for the possible evacuation of Filipinos in the Middle East if the tension between the United States and Iran further escalates, a Defense official said on Sunday.

"The sole agenda was how to ensure the safety of our countrymen in the Middle East especially those in Iraq and Iran as the tension between the US and Iran rises," Andolong said. Tensions between the US and Iran escalated after a US drone strike killed military commander Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Friday.

Iran condemned Donald Trump on Sunday as a "terrorist in a suit" after the US president threatened to hit 52 Iranian sites hard if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets in retaliation for the killing of Soleimani.

are you going to sent military to the region to help ofw from going home that will be DUMB 😂😂😂😂

Ano gagawin ng militar sa kanila? Trabaho ng DFA Sec yan. Tulad ni Albert del Rosario nuon na umupa ng cruise Ship para mailikas mga Kababayan natin. May capacidad ba ang military Ma gumawa ng ganon?
