00:00Two batches of Filipinos from Lebanon have returned to the country this weekend.

00:05And among those who joined them are the various helpers

00:10that were welcomed by C.M. Bell, a custodian at the center of the news.

00:17This Saturday alone,

00:19a team of overseas Filipino workers from Lebanon

00:22returned to the Philippines via Saudi Arabian Airlines' SV862.

00:27And just yesterday, eight more Filipinos voluntarily repatriated came to the country.

00:32They are our fellow Filipinos who were caught up in the chaos between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

00:37Based on the latest report of the Department of Migrant Workers,

00:40450 OFWs from Lebanon have returned to the Philippines.

00:45Since President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the voluntary repatriation in Lebanon a year ago.

00:53As of now, we have 266 in our booked commercial flights, okay?

01:05And then, there are additional around,

01:12let's say, around 300 that need to be processed in Lebanese immigration.

01:27So, 300 plus 266, that leaves us with around 566 that we are sure are interested in returning from Lebanon.

01:36Of course, this is a fluid count.

01:39So, right now, it's a large number of Filipinos.

01:46Meaning, voluntary repatriation and total ban on deployment.

01:50We are not processed by OFWs for Lebanon.

01:53According to the DMW's conversation with Ambassador to Lebanon Raewon Balatbat,

01:57only 10 OFWs are in the area who were severely affected by the war in southern Lebanon.

02:03We have 186 shelters, 186 OFWs.

02:08And some overseas Filipinos, those married to Lebanese, also about 15 of them in the shelter.

02:18But most of the 186 are OFWs.

02:21So, we have three shelters.

02:24And they are in good condition right now.

02:26So, 186 in our shelters.

02:28So, southern Lebanon, of course, in political security situation, we are dependent on the DFA.

02:35But we are still praying that the situation will get better.

02:40We know that there are still dangers.

02:42Almost 40 Filipinos will return to the country starting later tonight.

02:4775,000 pesos financial allowance from the DMW Action Fund will be donated to the repatriated OFWs.

02:5570,000 pesos in livelihood assistance from the DSWD and skills trading voucher from TESDA.
