At least 253 Filipinos have requested voluntary repatriation from Israel, as its war with Iran entered the 11th day. Voluntary repatriation is provided by the embassy for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who have no plan to return to Israel.
While many hesitate due to this condition, Mendiola said 50 OFWs are already confirmed for repatriation soon.
The Department of Foreign Affairs on Saturday raised Alert Level 3 in both countries. Mandatory evacuation has not been imposed yet.
