MANILA, Philippines — While it has yet to receive repatriation requests, the Department of Foreign Affairs said it is prepared to assist home any Filipino based in Sri Lanka, which is currently facing its worst economic crisis.

 

In a statement published late Tuesday evening through its OFW Help page, the department said it is already coordinating with its foreign service posts as well as the Filipino community leaders there.

 

“For now, most of the OFWs are still able to continue their employment despite the on-going crisis,” the department said.
