Walang Pinoy na nasaktan sa kaguluhan sa Israel-Gaza, ayon kay Bello
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III confirmed that no Filipino workers have been injured amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza.
One Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) sought assistance from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) after a bomb narrowly missed her employer's home, prompting her transfer to the POLO shelter due to fear.
A rapid rescue team has been deployed in coordination with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in anticipation of potential conflict escalation.
The DFA will determine the appropriate alert level, and Alert Level 4 would mandate forced repatriation of Filipinos.
Currently, Filipinos in the region have not requested repatriation, as they are reportedly well-treated and receive competitive salaries.
