Philippine Amb Romualdez warns Filipinos in US to be vigilant after US strikes on Iran

Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez advised Filipino citizens in the US to be vigilant following recent US military actions against Iranian nuclear sites.

US authorities have warned their citizens about potential risks from the situation, which is considered very serious as it marks the first use of a 'special bomb' by the US against another nation.

The Philippine Embassies in Washington DC, Doha, Baghdad, and Riyadh issued advisories for Filipinos to stay alert amid developing security situations in these regions.

In Qatar, where Iran retaliated against an American air base with no reported casualties, the Philippine Embassy advised Filipinos to 'shelter in place'.

Filipinos in the US were told to monitor the US Department of Homeland Security and remain cautious due to a heightened threat environment following the strikes.

The Philippines has called for de-escalation of tensions and diplomacy following the attacks on Iran's nuclear sites, expressing concern over their impact on Filipino workers in the Middle East.
