In a briefing, Col. Medel Aguilar, spokesperson of the AFP, said the government plans to deploy C130 and C295 planes for the evacuation of Filipinos.
According to Aguilar, Adana Airport in Turkey has been designated as the “temporary safe haven where we can bring our countrymen should there be an escalation of hostility.” The government also identified airports where the authorities will consolidate those who will be evacuated. There are around 30,000 Filipinos in Israel, with the majority living or working in areas located outside the southern region near the Gaza Strip.
De Vega explained that the government will only order mandatory repatriation once it raises Alert Level 4, which indicates that a country experiences a breakdown of the rule of law and descends into a full-scale war.When asked about the possibility of Palestinians joining their Filipino spouses during repatriation, De Vega said they are considered “restricted nationals.”
