Ilang OFW, ipinaliwanag kung bakit pinili nilang manatili pa rin sa Afghanistan
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Afghanistan are appealing to the Philippine government for repatriation following the Taliban's takeover, despite a mandatory evacuation order.
OFWs in Mazar-i-Sharif reported their situation as stable but confined, with some unable to go outside and the city resembling a ghost town.
Locals in Mazar-i-Sharif indicated that some stores remained open and food supplies were available.
Conversely, some OFWs in Jalalabad chose to remain, citing a quieter situation compared to other areas.
These OFWs in Jalalabad are concerned about the difficulty of reaching Kabul for repatriation, as the United Nations is coordinating with the Taliban for any evacuation plans.
