| Filipinos in Syria Advised to Stay Alert |
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has issued an urgent advisory for Filipinos in Syria following the reported fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. As rebel forces took control of Damascus, the DFA encouraged Filipino residents to maintain contact with the Philippine Embassy and take necessary safety measures.
The DFA is closely monitoring the evolving situation and has urged all parties to exercise restraint to prevent further civilian casualties. Filipinos in need can reach the embassy through designated hotlines or email.
This development underscores the importance of vigilance during political upheavals.
