A Filipina and her three children earlier reported to be missing have been found dead under the rubble of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked southern Turkiye and Syria on Feb. 6, the Philippine Embassy in Ankara confirmed.
In a statement on Sunday, Feb. 19, the embassy said expressed sentiments to the family of the Filipina and her three children. “Since the start of operations, the embassy team has met more than 70 Filipinos who have decided to remain in the provinces they have called home. Most were given assistance, according to their needs, while a handful respectfully declined so that it may be reserved for those in more dire situations,” the embassy said.The embassy said it is “accelerating its actions” to start the repatriation of all qualified Filipino citizens who want to go back home.
