The Department of Foreign Affairs Advisory Level 4 is issued in severe situations where there is either a “large-scale internal conflict or full-blown external attack” in a particular region or country. “The latest DFA advisory is a stark reminder of the harsh realities on the ground. It’s imperative that we, as a government, act with speed and deliberation to keep our fellow countrymen out of harm’s way,” said Go.
In response to the escalating violence, 131 Filipinos have already been evacuated from the war-torn region of Gaza, with the Philippine government actively working to repatriate them amidst the ongoing conflict. “I continue to pray and wish for stability in this most important area for all of the world’s faithful,” he said.
