According to the latest report, four Filipinos in Myanmar remain unaccounted for after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck the country on Friday, a Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) official said on Sunday. “The latest information is that four [Filipinos] are unaccounted for, not just two,” Foreign Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega said in an interview on dzBB on the powerful quake that killed more than 1,600 people.
The report said that among them are a husband and wife who lived in a building that collapsed after the earthquake. “Two were together, and they were in a building that collapsed, which was their residence. All of them are professionals, including teachers and office workers,” De Vega said . The Philippine government has already sent a humanitarian assistance team to aid in the rescue of earthquake survivors.
in addition, Undersecretary Ariel Nepomuceno, OCD administrator, said agencies are committed to assisting Myanmar, drawing from their experience in providing immediate aid during earthquakes. The OCD mobilized its humanitarian efforts after the Myanmar government requested urgent assistance, which includes teams for emergency search and rescue with K-9 and medical assistance.
It also asked for medicine, medical equipment, emergency first aid kits, mobile generators, water sanitation kits, solar-powered lights, and temporary shelters, such as tents and tarpaulin sheets.
