Officials from the DFA urge the relatives of Filipinos staying in Israel, Iran to stay calm and to not panic after the agency raised Alert Level 3 in these countries.
“There is a lot of misinformation going on. It is in Manila and not in Tel Aviv," says DFA Asec. Robert Ferrer.
"If you ask most of our Filipinos in Tel Aviv, they are calm, they don’t want to go home, they believe in the Israeli system to protect them, to take care of them," Ferrer says.
DFA Usec. Eduardo De Vega, meanwhile, says Alert Level 4 will only be raised if a country can be considered a "war zone."
"Of course it's unpleasant right now with the Israeli attacks but we will await the recommendation of the ambassadors. Alert Level 4 will alarm everybody," De Vega says. | via Job Manahan, ABS-CBN News
