Avatar

Seventy-five individuals from Lebanon were repatriated on Sunday, bringing the total number of repatriated Filipinos from the war-torn country to 1,191 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), according to the Department of Migrant Workers (DMWs).

Based on DMW’s latest data shared to reporters on Monday, a total of 2,245 OFWs have been repatriated from Israel, Lebanon, West Bank and Gaza since October last year after Hamas launched its largest terrorist attack on Israel.

Upon their arrival at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Sunday, the repatriates received financial and livelihood assistance from the DMW, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

“They also received educational vouchers from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority that they can use should they want to continue learning new skills, or their dependents,” the DMW said.
