00:00Even though President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. was absent from the ASEAN Summit in Laos PBR,

00:05he was also involved in the situation of our countrymen who are in the middle of the war in Lebanon,

00:11where he ordered the Department of Foreign Affairs to immediately help the Filipinos in Lebanon

00:17who want to go home to the Philippines.

00:20This is Joshua Garcia in Centro ng Balita Live.

00:24Yes, Angelique, you're right there.

00:26President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is in a hurry to send the Filipinos home

00:31who are in the middle of the war in Lebanon

00:34and to immediately help them return to the Philippines.

00:40Angelique, this is the order of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to the Department of Foreign Affairs

00:44even though the situation in Lebanon is not yet reaching level 4 alert

00:48and a mandatory repatriation is needed.

00:50According to GFA Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega,

00:53the country is still remaining in alert level 3

00:55because the working government is still there.

00:58Even so, they are urging the Filipinos,

01:00particularly the majority of the 11,000 Filipinos here

01:03who are staying in places that are also being targeted by Israel

01:06to immediately help them return to the Philippines while the borders are still open.

01:12We are also urging Israel that their actions should be under principles of international law

01:21including proportionality, avoid civilian casualties.

01:28De Vega also added that the embassy is continuously moving

01:31for the preparation of repatriation, travel documents, and others

01:34for the Filipinos who are planning to return to the country.

01:36According to GFA, currently, more than 500 Filipinos are planning to return

01:41where 182 here are reserved while 400 here are waiting to be processed.

01:46De Vega explained that one of the main orders of President Marcos Jr.

01:50is to immediately help the Filipinos return

01:53such as financial assistance and reintegration of the DMW,

01:56OAH, DSWD, DOH, and other concerned agencies.

02:02Right now, government officials, including myself earlier,

02:05we're briefing the President because we're looking for other options.

02:10If the flight needs to be chartered,

02:12if the C-130 needs to be sent,

02:14all options are being considered, but what should be the best option?

02:18Angelique, the line of communication for those affected in South Lebanon is still open

02:25where, according to GFA, there is an increase in the number of contacts

02:30who called them and told them where they are.

02:33GFA also called our countrymen in Lebanon

02:37that they can also go directly to the embassy

02:39to stay there for the time being.

02:41Angelique?

02:42Yes, Joshua.

02:43Joshua, so now, it's just voluntary repatriation,

02:46so we're just talking to them.

02:48But when will this end with mandatory repatriation?

02:55Yes, Angelique.

02:56It will happen when the alert level 4 rises,

03:00when there is no peace and order in Lebanon,

03:04and when the current government in our country no longer works.

03:09Angelique?

03:10Thank you very much, Joshua Garcia.
