Six overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) repatriated from Iran due to the conflict with Israel have safely arrived in the Philippines.

The group, composed of five shrimp hatchery technicians and one domestic worker, arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on Emirates flight EK 334.

They were welcomed by officials from the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

OWWA provided food, medical services, temporary hotel accommodations, domestic flights, and P150,000 financial assistance each through the AKSYON Fund.

The repatriation was made possible through the efforts of the Philippine Embassy in Tehran, led by Ambassador Roberto Manalo, in close coordination with the DMW and OWWA.

Two more OFWs from Iran are expected to arrive on Saturday night, June 28, at 10:00 PM.

Additionally, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) will provide scholarship certificates to aid their reintegration.
