DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said they are continuously monitoring the situation in Israel to come up with the measures for the immediate repatriation of OFWs already on their list.

“The air space and airports are currently closed, hopefully, we would have the opportunity for repatriation once there would be an opening of air space,” said Cacdac in an interview over GMA.

Of the 109 OFWs from Israel on their list, Cacdac said 85 of them have already signified the intention to leave before Israel conducted air raids in key facilities in Iran on Friday last week.
