00:00Two batches of overseas Filipino workers returned to the country this weekend from Lebanon

00:07amid rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.

00:11According to the Department of Workers,

00:13OFWs will receive various assistance from the government.

00:19Vel Custodio has a report.

00:22Just this Saturday,

00:24a batch of overseas Filipino workers from Lebanon returned to the Philippines

00:29via Saudi Arabian Airlines' SV862.

00:32And just yesterday,

00:34eight more Filipinos voluntarily repatriated arrived in the country.

00:37They are our countrymen who were caught up in the chaos between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

00:42Based on the latest report of the Department of Migrant Workers,

00:45450 OFWs from Lebanon have already returned to the Philippines.

00:50Since President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the voluntary repatriation in Lebanon a year ago.

00:58As of now, we have 266 in our booked commercial flights.

01:09Okay.

01:10And then, there are additional around,

01:17in our number, more or less, 300.

01:23300 more need to be processed in Lebanese immigration.

01:33So, 300 plus 266, that leaves us with around 566.

01:38We are sure that they are interested in emigrating from Lebanon.

01:42Of course, this is a fluid count.

01:44So, it may increase.

01:45Dependent upon how the DFA sees the political and security situation on the ground.

01:50So, right now, it's alerted.

01:52Meaning, voluntary repatriation and total ban on deployment.

01:56There are no OFWs being processed in Lebanon.

01:59According to the DMW's conversation with Ambassador to Lebanon, Raewon Balatbat,

02:03only 10 OFWs are in the area, severely affected by the war in southern Lebanon.

02:09We have 186 shelters.

02:12186 OFWs.

02:14And some overseas Filipinos,

02:18the married ones in Lebanon, also about 15 of them in the shelter.

02:23But most of the 186 are OFWs.

02:26So, we have three shelters.

02:29And they are in good condition right now.

02:32So, 186 in our shelter.

02:33So, southern Lebanon, of course, the political and security situation,

02:38we are dependent on the DFA,

02:41but we are still praying that the situation will get better.

02:45We know that there are still dangers.

02:47Almost 40 Filipinos will be returning to the country starting later tonight.

02:52Repatriated OFWs will receive a P75,000 financial allowance from the DMW Action Fund,

03:00P70,000 from the DSWD,

03:04and a skills trading voucher from the TESDA.
