“Your welfare is a matter of paramount importance to us.”
Ito ang mensahe ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa mga Pilipino sa Israel matapos niyang ihayag na nag-oovertime ngayon sa trabaho ang ilang mga ahensya ng gobyerno upang masiguro umano ang kanilang kaligtasan sa naturang bansa.
“The Departments of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and Migrant Workers (DMW), and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) are now working overtime to ensure your safety and well-being,” pahayag ni Romualdez nitong Linggo, Oktubre 8.
Nakiisa rin ang house speaker sa pagkondena sa pag-atake ng terrorist organization na Hamas sa mga inosenteng sibilyan sa Israel, kung saan iniulat ng Israel Embassy na umabot na sa mahigit 250 Israelis ang naitalang nasawi.

“The devastation and loss suffered by families during such significant moments of reverence are beyond words,” ani Romualdez.
“It is a reminder that the path of violence only deepens wounds and rifts. I urge all involved parties, especially the militant rulers of Hamas, to pave a way toward a peaceful resolution. The history of this region has seen enough bloodshed; sustainable peace is the only way forward,” dagdag niya.
Samantala, sinabi ni Romualdez na mahalaga umano ang dayalogo at pagkakaunawaan upang makamit ang kapayapaan sa naturang bansa.
“I align myself with the sentiments of global leaders and advocates for peace, emphasizing that dialogue and understanding are paramount. True change can only be achieved when we respect and protect the rights of civilians, as stipulated under international law,” ani Romualdez.
“May peace prevail in the region and may the global community come together to support a harmonious resolution to this longstanding conflict,” saad pa niya.
Nito lamang namang Linggo, Oktubre 8, siniguro ni Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss na hindi pinababayaan ang overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) sa Israel.
