Government to repatriate OFWs in war-torn Lebanon – Palace

By Prince Golez

The government will intensify efforts in the repatriation of Filipinos in Lebanon, Malacañang said Wednesday.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the statement after the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) reported that two Filipinos were among those killed following twin explosions in Beirut, Lebanon yesterday.

Six others were reportedly injured.

“I think the government will continue with its repatriation of nationals who wish to be evacuated from the area,” Roque said in an interview over CNN Philippines’ The Source.

“Lebanon, as we know, is war-torn. We’ve issued series of advisories against working in Lebanon. I believe the DFA will intensify our efforts to bring home our kababayan in that war-torn area,” he added.
