00:00Para sa mga OFWs natin, or yung mga constituents, mga Filipinos sa Nepal, do we have a complete list of
00:07those who are affected, and what is the DFA doing to support our kababayan abroad?
00:13Thank you very much, Your Honor.
00:14Our initial reaction is that we do not have a foreign service establishment in Nepal, so we rely only on
00:24our embassy in New Delhi, which has jurisdiction over Nepal and that area.
00:31More so, we have an honorary consul in Kathmandu, which is the capital of Nepal, that I think the honorary
00:38consul himself is also affected.
00:40However, based on the information, and of course that is cascading to our embassy in Delhi, there were Filipinos there,
00:49but there's only one missing.
00:52And all efforts now have been, I mean, all the resources, international organizations as well as the local authorities are
01:04still in the process of searching, as there are many.
01:10Reports said that there are about 4,000 missing persons.
01:13So now, I think we asked the family for the DNA so that we can match it with those bodies
01:22that are around the area.
01:25Of course, the situation in Nepal is very unfortunate.
01:28We have one kababayan that's missing, and I'm glad to hear that there are efforts to identify possibly through DNA
01:36matching, but at least may update po tayo dito.
01:39Here, let's see.
01:40Very good, thank you.
01:49You
