Thirteen Filipinos who fled to Poland from Ukraine are expected to arrive in the Philippines on Tuesday.
Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr. personally met these 13 Filipinos after they crossed the Ukraine-Poland border, and they were scheduled to fly out of Poland Monday night or Tuesday morning.
Some Filipinos in Ukraine are choosing to stay and wait out the conflict, while others have reached out to the government for repatriation.
Arriola mentioned that the government is still waiting for more Filipinos who evacuated Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, to arrive in the western city of Lviv.
From Lviv, they will be transported to the border with Poland for the second batch of border crossing.
