Filipinos in Hong Kong remain safe and their deployment there should continue despite intense battles between pro-democracy protesters and riot police that saw some of the most violent scenes in more

than 5 months of unrest, a Philippine diplomat said Tuesday.

"Ang mga Pilipino rito ay nasa ligtas na kalagayan po... Nasa bahay lamang po sila sa ngayon, medyo nagtitiis po at hindi nakakalabas," Consul General Rally Tejada told radio DZMM. "Sa amin pong palagay, hindi naman kailangan itigil ang pagpapapunta ng mga nagtatrabaho dito," he added.

An OFW was temporarily detained in August after authorities mistook him for a protester. Another Filipino earlier this month fainted after inhaling tear gas used to dispel activists. In the district of Mongkok, one of the most regular flashpoint neighborhoods in recent months, barricades made from debris and bamboo scaffolding could be seen for hundreds of meters, choking one of the city's main arteries. Pockets of protesters remained out and one man was beaten for taking photos of them.
