00:00Lagay ng ating mga kababayan sa mga bansang apektado ng tsunami advisory
00:04at update sa mga Pinoy na bihag ng mga Houthi rebel,
00:08ating aalamin kasama si Department of Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary Robert Ferrer.
00:14Asek, magandang tanghali po.
00:17Yes, magandang tanghali po.
00:20Sir, ano po yung mga naging hakbang ng DFA upang masubaybayan ng mga kalagayan
00:25ng mga Pilipinong apektado sa mga bansang nagkaroon ng banta ng tsunami kahapon?
00:34Maraming salamat at sinusubaybayan ninyo yung issue nito.
00:39Nananawagan po kami sa lahat ng kababayan natin
00:43na parating sunod sa mga advisory ng embassies natin
00:49Okay, kasi ang affected ng tsunami alerts are of course
00:53eastern coast of Russia, sa Kamchatka Peninsula,
00:59yung ating Filipinos in Hawaii,
01:03yung ating Filipinos sa New Zealand and the west coast of the United States.
01:10But as I speak to you now,
01:12bumaba na po yung mga tsunami alert levels.
01:15So, hindi na po dangerous.
01:18Yung pinakamatending tinamahan ng tsunami
01:20is yung eastern coast of Kamchatka Peninsula
01:24where we have seven Filipinos in that area.
01:30So, kinuuntag na po ng embahada natin sa Moscow
01:34ang mga Filipinos
01:37and wala tayong balitan na inasaktan o nasawi.
01:40Buti na lang.
01:41So, thanks be to God.
01:42And then, meron tayong consulate sa Vladivostok
01:45which is close nalang to Kamchatka Peninsula.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Kung sakaling meron pong concern yung ating mga kababayan,
01:55meron po bang hotline na itinalaga ang DFA o yung embahada?
02:01Tapos, kung meron silang tulong,
02:03ano po yung pwedeng tulong na maibigay natin sa kanila?
02:05They all they need to do it.
02:09Sandali, may feedback ako narinig.
02:11I cannot hear myself.
02:14Paki-off na lang yung monitor.
02:17So, yung kasagutan sa tanaw ninyo,
