Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr says the safety of Filipino citizens in Iran and the Middle East is “paramount” following attacks.
“I have instructed the DFA [Department of Foreign Affairs] and the DMW [Department of Migrant Workers] to take measures to determine their whereabouts in affected areas and to take immediate measures to ensure their safety,” he said in a post on X.
There are over two million Filipino workers across the Middle East.
He reaffirmed that agencies have been ordered to quickly locate Filipinos in affected areas and safeguard them.
