PH exerting efforts to locate 4 missing Filipinos in Myanmar – DFA
A five-member Philippine consular team has been dispatched to Mandalay, Myanmar, to assist in the search for four Filipinos missing after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake.
The Filipinos are feared trapped in the 12-story Sky Villa Condominium, a disaster site in Mandalay City.
As of April 2, the Philippine Embassy in Yangon has no confirmed information on the identities of the four missing Filipinos.
The embassy team is working to identify cadavers retrieved from the Sky Villa, many of which were in advanced decomposition and cremated due to lack of facilities.
The embassy has requested local rescuers to extract tissue samples from deceased individuals and alert them if a Filipino is identified.
Personnel from the embassy have met with officials handling search and rescue operations and 11 Filipino survivors to gather more information.
