“The embassy has sought the assistance of search-and-rescue teams in Hatay City on the status of a missing Filipino and their children, feared to be still under rubble,” a statement from the embassy read.
The Philippine Embassy in Turkiye on Sunday, Feb. 12, said it has tapped search-and-rescue teams in Hatay City in looking for a Filipina and her children, who are all believed to still be under the rubble of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked the country’s southeastern region.The embassy assured that its team continues to be present in Mersin, which is less than 100 kilometers to Adana and roughly 250 kilometers to Hatay, two of the most badly-hit provinces in southern Turkiye.
Appropriate medical assistance, including urgent hospitalization, will continue to be extended to those in need, the embassy added. As Department of Migrant Workers and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration plan to deploy personnel to Turkiye, the embassy welcomed the idea and said that the Philippines’ One Country Team Approach will be the first-ever joint interoperability exercise to provide migrant protection in times of crisis between the Department of Foreign Affairs and the newly established DMW.
