The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has pardoned 220 Filipino detainees, paving the way for their return to the Philippines. The pardon, granted during the UAE's 53rd National Day, was a result of President Marcos' meeting with the UAE President last November.
MALACAÑANG on Monday said 220 detained Filipinos in the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) are set to return home soon after being pardoned by the Gulf State during its 53rd National Day last month. Citing data from Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ma. Theresa Lazaro, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said UAE granted the pardon following the representation from President Marcos.
PCO said UAE announced the pardon on December 26, 2024 to demonstrate its “distinguished friendship” with the Philippines. “It is the direct result of President Marcos’ meeting with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, last November,” Lazaro said in a statement issued by DFA. UAE traditionally grants pardon to some of its detainees during its national day, which is celebrated every December 2. Lazaro said the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi is currently processing the documentary and administrative requirements for the repatriation of the pardoned Filipino nationals, who were detained for various offenses. Aside from those pardoned last month, UAE also issued a similar pardon for 143 detained Filipinos during the commemoration of Eid al-Adha last June
