00:00Despite the ongoing tension in Lebanon, some Filipinos still have no plans to return to the government and return to the Philippines.
00:07Some Filipinos were shown where they sleep after the bomb was dropped, they continue.
00:14Maris Umali was shocked.
00:18There is no place left in this structure in Daya Beirut, Lebanon, after the bomb was dropped in the ongoing war there.
00:27The video was sent to us by the OFW Jalene, who has been in exile in Lebanon for five years.
00:33And this house is owned by the driver of their boss.
00:37In the distance, his wife was taken by the smoke after the explosion.
00:42Jalene and her partner, OFW Trisha, are in a safer place.
00:47But they still can't avoid being afraid of what's happening.
00:51Sometimes you will be surprised, you will be shocked.
00:55Every day, you will hear a bomb here.
00:59Others, you can only see the pose of your FB friends here.
01:05Sometimes, others, you can see that their souls are separating.
01:10Of course, you are afraid.
01:12Even if they say you won't die, but not now.
01:16But despite the terrifying situation, the two have no plans to repatriate or return to their country.
01:22Jalene is married to a Lebanese.
01:25And her partner, OFW Trisha, is in love with their boss.
01:29There are areas that are being bombed.
01:35So don't worry.
01:38I know that the Lord won't leave us.
01:41I just want to say that my boss is still here.
01:45He won't leave us.
01:47Whatever happens, we will be with them.
