The Philippine government is preparing to evacuate more Filipinos during the 72-hour ceasefire between Sudan's warring factions, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said on Tuesday.

"Right now, we are hoping that the 72-hour ceasefire that has been declared will hold and we will... we are preparing ourselves. In fact, Secretary Ople is on her way to the area para kung sakali matuloy man 'yung ating 'yung sinasabing 72 hours na ceasefire, eh makapagtake advantage tayo. Mailabas natin ang mga tao natin. So that's what we're working on now," Marcos said in a video message.

"Ang mahirap is that even the land routes are not completely safe, as yet 'yung mga airports binomba pa, hindi talaga magamit," said Marcos.
