01:02According to the agency, the country is still on alert level 3 due to the rise of the Israel Defense Forces

01:13According to Migrant Workers, there are 11,000 OFWs in Lebanon.

01:19There are 500 OFWs from the country who submitted their voluntary repatriation.

01:28The process is first, of course, receipt of the request for repatriation at the DMW level.

01:38We process and then we endorse to Lebanese Immigration, what's called General Security,

01:44and from there, we wait until exit clearances are issued by Lebanon Security.

01:53And then, once released, then we book them on commercial flights.

01:58Meanwhile, DMW's services will be closer to our OFWs in Central Europe.

02:07Secretary Kakdak announced that the two Migrant Workers' Offices in Vienna, Austria,

02:13the 40th Migrant Workers' Office or MWO, and Budapest in Hungary, the 41st,

02:22have 8,000 OFWs in Austria.

02:25The MWO Austria also includes the countries of Croatia, Slovenia, and Slovakia.

02:32In total, it has 12,000 OFWs.

02:36While the MWO in Budapest includes Bosnia, Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Moldova, and Montenegro.

02:47And it has 5,373 OFWs.

02:56who work in the sector of manufacturing, agriculture, and food services.

03:01Before this, it has 39 MWOs in different parts of the world.

03:31to make the services of government accessible

04:01to our people in Lebanon.

04:03Their families here in the Philippines can also call the hotline 1348

04:09and they can also visit the DMW's Facebook page to see the hotline in Lebanon.
