A repatriation flight took off from Dubai on Tuesday carrying 347 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
The flight was organised by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with the country’s embassy in Abu Dhabi and the consulate-general in Dubai.
The initiative was part of the government’s Bayanihan to Recover as One Act (Bayanihan 2, R.A. 11519).
The authorities had earlier said that those who are part of the government’s repatriation efforts are exempted from the ban of inbound travels from countries including the UAE announced on Monday.
