“The Embassy continuously receives a steady stream of confirmed and unconfirmed reports of Filipinos experiencing varying degrees of distress. These include two confirmed reports of injured Filipinos, who are now recovered. We are thankful that a number of our kababaoyan are safe and we will not give up hope for those that cannot yet be contacted. The Embassy will act swiftly and decisively for all confirmed reports,” sabi ng embahada sa isang pahayag.
Idinagdag ng embahada na patuloy ang hakbang para maabot ang 248 na iba pang Pinoy na nasa Turkey.

We deeply appreciate the relief goods that continue to be provided through the generosity of our Filipino brethren,” dagdag pa ng embahada.
