Message on the Repatriation of OFWs in Israel and Iran

June 23, 2025 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. directs all concerned agencies to ensure the safe and timely repatriation of over 200 Filipinos amid the rising tensions in Israel and Iran. In a video message on 23 June 2025, the President reports that Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Hans Cacdac is in Amman, Jordan to receive the first batch of 26 repatriates from Israel. The government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), raised Alert Level 3 in Israel and Iran which calls for voluntary repatriation. He says that food packs and financial assistance have already been provided to overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), many of whom are staying at the government’s Migrant Workers Office (MWO) hostel, with additional space available if needed. He further states that the Embassy of the Philippines in Iran is preparing for the repatriation of an initial batch of eight (8) Filipinos in the coming days. Upon their arrival in the country, they will receive immediate support, including PhP150,000 in assistance, accommodation, transport and livelihood support with training vouchers to help them recover and start again. The Chief Executive also assures of the government’s continued assistance for Filipinos who choose to stay home for good, including skills training, job matching, startup capital and support to start a small business or explore new opportunities. “I urge our fellow Filipinos to coordinate with our embassies in Tel Aviv and Tehran. Please follow their guidance, inform them of your situation, and do not hesitate to ask for assistance. Your government continues to act and is ready to serve to protect your safety and well-being. Nothing is more important than the safety of every Filipino,” President Marcos Jr. states in his message.
