Govt advises over 120 Filipinos in Nepal to stay indoors amid protests

The Philippine government has advised over 120 Filipinos in Nepal to stay indoors due to escalating protests and instability in the country.

Filipinos in Nepal are instructed to remain in their residences, avoid unnecessary travel, and adhere to local authorities' safety and security directives, including curfews.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) is closely monitoring the situation through its embassy in New Delhi and honorary consulate general in Kathmandu, while also coordinating with Filipino community organizations.

As of now, there have been no reported casualties or injuries among Filipino nationals amidst the unrest.

Nepal has been experiencing weeks of violent anti-corruption protests that have resulted in the resignation of its prime minister and caused at least 22 deaths and numerous injuries.
