Sa ating kababayang Pinay Nene, anong official report ang natanggap po ninyo?

Well, sa ngayon, yun nga ay sa question ng mampalad ay nasawi yung ating kababayan.

Siya ay esposa ng itang OFW, isang skilled worker yung ating OFW na ngayon nasa critical condition and we're monitoring yung kanyang sitwasyon.

And meron ding mga labing isa na Pilipino na nandoon din, OFW sila lahat, nandoon sa residential building na yun, yung tower.

At sila ngayon ay inilikas at sila ay nasa isang hotel din, sa Sharjah.

And pinomonitor din natin ang sitwasyon nila and okay sila lahat, they're out of harm's way.

Inilikas lamang sila doon bilang panandalian nilang paninirahan.

And in due time, of course, we will provide the necessary financial assistance to them.

And kasabay nito, kung may legal implications yung pangyayari, we will also engage yung ating legal retainer, retained lawyer, para suriin ang sitwasyon.

At kung meron mang legal liabilities, of course, we are also relying on the UAE authorities, yung mga investigative fire authorities doon.

Opo, Yuseg, yun yung remains?

Yung ating kababayang Pinay na yun, nasa na po ngayon? At may plano ho ba na iuwi mo ba ng Pilipinas?

Yes, yes. We are getting in touch with the family and we, of course, express yung pakikisa at pakikiramay natin.

And di magtatagal ay makauwi na siya. Pero yun nga, we will have to await the law signal of the UAE authorities.

And of course, we're coordinating with our embassy and our consulate general's offices.

It's the DFA on the ground in Dubai.

Opo, na-inform na po yung kanilang kamag-anak na narinig sa Pilipinas kung ano nangyari doon sa Pinay?

Yes, yes. There's proper information already conveyed at coordination kasi yun ang first step naman para sa pagpapaayos ng repatriation of human remains.

But having said that, dahil magka-relasyon, magka-anak, mag-atawa yung...

yung nasa UAE at yung nasa critical condition ay inaasahan din natin na makarecover yung kababayan natin nasa critical condition, pinagdadasal natin.

At syempre meron ding tamang kaparaanan at panahon para ma-inform din siya kung kung sa nangyari.

Opo. Bali Yusek, para lang humagtugma yung mga figures po natin, all in all...

13?

Isang Pilipino apektado ng sunog, isa ang namatay, isa ang nasa critical condition at meron pang labing isang Pilipino rin. OFW, ganun po ba?

Yes, yes. Yes, yes. Sa pagkakaunawa ko ay hindi lahat ng 11 ay adults.

Ay, may bata.

The report I have is around 9 adults and then 2 children.

Opo, yun hong labing isa eh. Kumusta po?

Nasaan po yung labing isang kababayan nating Pinoy na yun?

Yan, sila ay nasa hotel na yun.

In coordination with the Sharjah authorities, dinala sila doon sa hotel at pinamonitor natin ngayon yung sitwasyon nila doon.

And then of course, we are together with our Philippine Consulate General's office in Dubai.

We stand ready of course to shoulder yung accommodation as well as yung ano man expenses nila doon, food expenses and other types of expenses on top of the financial assistance that we will give them.

Opo.

Opo. Ano pong mga trabaho nitong kababayan nating yun sa Dubai?

Well, alam natin yung nasa critical condition ay skilled worker.

Alam din natin na hindi ko lang alam yung specific position but yung sham na OFWs doon ay skilled workers dito sila.

Alright. Sige ho. Yusek, dyan ho muna siguro. Ang importante po ay meron na kayong contact po doon sa ating mga kababayan at yung assurance lamang po.

Sige ho. Ang importante po ay meron na kayong contact po doon sa ating mga kababayan at yung assurance lamang po.

Sige ho. Ang importante po ay meron na kayong contact po doon sa ating mga kababayan at yung assurance lamang po.

And as così po natin yan, in due time, subject to the signal din of the investigative authorities ng UAE,

ay pauwin po natin siya sa lalo madaling.

Opo, at pinagpapalagay natin USIC na lahat po ng mga Pilipinong IRI ay mga dokumentado naman o ano po?

Yes, yes. Well, tayo naman sa Department of Migrant Workers, we have all kinds of OFWs. But so far, ang report sa akin ay documented sila.

Opo, malina ho ba kung anong nangyari talaga at ba't nagkasunog?

Wala pang ganun, Sir Johnson. Inaantabayanan pa natin yung ulat ng UAE authorities sa pagay na yan.

Alright.
