00:00So convene us all since day one, the relevant government agencies, DOH, DOLE, DFA, DESTAC, DMW, OAH, to come together and provide the utmost post-repatriation assistance, post-arrival assistance.

00:16So join forces kami. Sabi pa nga ni Pangolo, repasunin yung financial assistance rates. So from P50,000, dinawalan natin P75,000 from DMW, P75,000 from OAH, so that's P150,000 financial assistance upon return.

00:31And then of course there is the DOH sector that was with physical checkups upon arrival and psychosocial counseling ready. And then Secrex, Kachalyan, and DSWD with livelihood and financial assistance.

00:46TESDA through DG Benitez will be providing the training vouchers. Pag umi, binibigyan sila ng blank training vouchers which means they can fill in any training course they would want in any TESDA accredited training institution for free.

01:03And then of course Secretary Laguzman, DOLE for employment facilitation. We've also partnered with Agriculture DA, Sec. Tito Laurel, and Sec. Cristina Prasco for DOE in case our ORCWs would wish to endeavor in agri-related and tourism-related endeavors. So we're ready, we stand ready to help them upon their return.

01:25All of them are still in the process of discerning or deciding, but the call of the Ambassador over the weekend really was to tell them, please decide to come home because the situation may worsen. There's tension right now in that part of the world, so hopefully again the situation doesn't get worse, but in case that there is a call to be repatriated, and then as I said, we're ready with our own crisis management plan.
