DMW: Lebanon OFWs seeking repatriation
Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Hans Cacdac confirmed that repatriation requests from Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Lebanon are ongoing due to the volatile situation in the region.
Cacdac stated that the desire of OFWs to return home continues to be expressed because of the persistent tensions in Lebanon.
The DMW assures that free repatriation efforts will continue as long as the tensions persist.
Around a hundred OFWs in Lebanon are currently awaiting repatriation.
Since October 2023, approximately 3,000 OFWs have been repatriated from conflict-affected areas.
On the evening of Eid al-Adha, Israel carried out airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs following evacuation warnings for several buildings in the area.
Cacdac also reported that there are no longer any OFWs in Gaza, following successful repatriation efforts led by the Department of Foreign Affairs.
