ANOTHER 191 Filipinos were repatriated from Macau last week, bringing the total to 5,152 since the start of the pandemic in March last year, the Department of Foreign Affairs reported on Monday.
The 26th repatriation flight arrived last Thursday, it said.
Among those in the flight were a 44-year-old male with a medical condition and a 75-year old lady whose case was endorsed to the Philippine Consulate in Macau by immigration authorities.
“We are very happy that you will all be able to spend your Christmas with your families,” Philippine Consul General to Macau SAR Porfirio M. Mayo, Jr., who led the team assisting passengers on the flight, said in a statement in Filipino. — Alyssa Nicole O. Tan
