00:00 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has ordered agencies to closely coordinate with the Philippine

00:05 Embassy in Tel Aviv and the Migrant Workers Office in Israel to secure all Filipinos affected

00:12 by the conflict between Israeli forces and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

00:18 It is a whole of government approach and it does not involve only the DFA and the DMW including

00:26 DMW OWA but we are meeting with other government agencies such as the DLD, DSWD, DOLE,

00:34 TESDA and other offices as we work together to ensure the safety and protection of our

00:41 Kababayas in Israel and Gaza. 313 had already responded from the affected areas and had marked

00:51 themselves safe in the affected areas where there's an approximately around 300 plus OFWs.

00:59 When I say affected areas I mean to say the southern part of Israel that is close to the

01:04 Gaza Strip border. We assure you that for any situation OWA, DMW and the DFA will be working

01:16 hand in hand together to provide the needs of our OFWs in Israel.

01:23 Thank you.
