Inanunsiyo ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) na tuloy ang overseas voter registration sa Middle East, sa kabila ng nagaganap na tensiyon doon.
Sa abiso ng Comelec nitong Lunes, sinabi nito na tuloy pa rin ang pagrerehistro nila ng overseas voters dahil nananatili pa ring operational ang mga Philippine foreign posts sa rehiyon.
“As of March 2, overseas voter registration activities in Philippine Embassies and Consulates in the Middle East affected by the ongoing tensions and escalations continue, as Philippine foreign posts remain open for consular services, including overseas voter registration,” anang Comelec, sa isang pahayag.
Hinikayat din nito ang mga Pinoy sa Gitnang Silangan na manatiling alerto at updated sa mga kaganapan.
"The Commission on Elections (Comelec) highly encourages our fellow Filipinos in the Middle East to stay alert and keep updated on the current situation in their respective areas, be vigilant against misinformation or disinformation, and rely only on verified sources of information," anito pa. "Take heed of notices from the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Philippine Embassy or Consulate, and contact help lines if in distress."
