00:00Meanwhile, 18 people were killed and almost 100 were injured in the latest Israeli airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon last night.

00:08This is part of the ongoing clash between Israel and the Hezbollah group.

00:12And regarding the situation in Lebanon, let's listen to the Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak.

00:19Good morning to you, Secretary. This is Maris. We are live on Unang Balita.

00:23Good morning, Ms. Maris and to you, listeners and viewers.

00:27Secretary, last night, there was another airstrike by Israel in Lebanon.

00:34Do we have fellow countrymen who were injured there?

00:39Do we have fellow countrymen in that area where the airstrike took place?

00:44We hope it stays that way.

00:57Okay. So as of now, we are still in contact with the Filipinos there.

01:02And yesterday, when we spoke to you in Malacanang, you said that the Filipinos are safe and sound.

01:08Our fellow countrymen in the shelters continue to be safe.

01:11Are there still many Filipinos in the shelters?

01:13Yes. We have 178 Filipinos in the shelters.

01:21We have four shelters in Beirut.

01:26And we have enough capacity to receive more.

01:32That's why we are asking our fellow countrymen to help us.

01:37And we will give them a helping hand.

01:40Secretary, yesterday in your press briefing, you said that we have booked commercial flights from October 11 to October 28.

01:48Are our fellow countrymen still going to return to our country today?

01:57Yes, yes. Our fellow countrymen continue to prepare and book flights.

02:10There are 213 travel-ready as of this hour.

02:16And we also have flight arrivals later this weekend.

02:25Yesterday, I mentioned that there are less than 11 flights this weekend.

02:35That will be added with more or less shams.

02:41So we are expecting around 20 this weekend.

02:45Alright, so not 11.

02:47We also talked to some Filipinos who still don't want to go home.

02:52Does President Bongbong Marcos have an order if the situation is like that?

02:57If the situation is that they don't want to go home, we will continue to encourage them to do so.

03:07We can see it with our own eyes, in the news.

03:12In Beirut, for example, in our migrant workers' office, we can see the explosions in and around Beirut.

03:23So we have a continuous encouragement.

03:27We mentioned that they don't have to worry.

03:30Our President's order is to help them in their return.

03:35There is financial assistance that the government is giving.

03:40There is livelihood and employment facilitation and training, free training from TESLA.

03:47The financial assistance is P150,000.

03:50That is enough for four to six months while they are preparing for livelihood or employment.

04:01Alright. Thank you very much, DMW Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak.

04:05We will continue to report on the situation there in Lebanon.

04:09Take care.

04:10Thank you. God bless.

04:12God bless.
