00:00The Department of Migrant Workers clarified that it will not implement a mass deportation in the United States
00:07for undocumented Filipinos in the country.
00:11In a statement to Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon,
00:13DMW Secretary Hans Liu Kakdak said that he does not want the undocumented Filipinos in America to be afraid.
00:22Kakdak assured the Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Manalo Atdivega.
00:30Even to the consulates of the government in the United States,
00:33so that the well-being of our fellow Filipinos is assured.
00:37As of now, there is no deportation happening,
00:40but the DMW stands ready.
00:44Again, those that I mentioned earlier,
00:46Action Fund, Repatriation Command, and Reintegration,
00:50all of those will come into play once an OFW requires repatriation,
00:54whether in the United States or elsewhere.
