00:00The government is ready for the mandatory repatriation of Filipinos who are in the war in Lebanon.

00:06Meanwhile, in the 11th OFW, the one who came to the country this weekend is Kenneth Paciente in Detail.

00:18The Department of Migrant Workers and other agencies of the government

00:24is concerned about the situation of overseas Filipino workers who are affected by the chaos in Lebanon.

00:29According to DMW Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak,

00:32despite the directives of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,

00:36it is the use of all government resources and assets to save the OFWs.

00:42More than anything, it's the President's concern for our OFWs.

00:48The President has always been concerned for the welfare and security safety of our OFWs.

00:54So he deemed it the proper time to convene all of us

00:58and find ways to heighten or strengthen our approach in terms of securing the safety and security of our OFWs.

01:08According to the agency, 11 OFWs came to the country this weekend.

01:14As of now, 192 OFWs are booked for the three separate commercial flights

01:19that are expected to travel from Oct. 8 to Oct. 11.

01:23As of now, 413 OFWs are still being booked.

01:28However, there are still some Filipinos who don't want to leave Lebanon

01:32because they are afraid of losing their income.

01:34But according to the DMW,

01:36we have already addressed the matter on the loss of income that may incur if they come home.

01:44So the financial assistance that we're offering can go up as high as P150,000 between DMW and OFW upon arrival.

01:54That's good for a 4 to 6-month salary.

01:56179 OFWs are currently in shelters in Beirut

02:01where the government provides their needs such as food.

02:05OWA is currently looking for Filipinos who have been left behind in tents.

02:10If we can identify where these reports are of OFWs staying in tents,

02:17we will go to them and bring them to our shelters.

02:20As of now, the DMW is still waiting for a notice from the DFA

02:24if the alert level in Lebanon can be raised to level 4.

02:28And if this happens, they are ready to implement the mandatory repatriation.

02:33We stand ready. In fact, that might have been answered already.

02:42Your question might have been answered by the President's directives yesterday.

02:46So the President has heightened our engagement in terms of safely repatriating our OFWs out of Lebanon.

02:56So that would accommodate any situation.

03:02Until Oct. 8, 1721, the Philippine Embassy in Beirut received an application for repatriation.

03:09511 OFWs were repatriated.

03:13The Israeli warplanes in the southern part of Beirut were in the middle of a 30-air raid.

03:19No one was injured or injured in the attack by Israel.

03:24Kenneth Paciente for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
