MANILA — Senator Grace Poe has urged the authorities to release a travel advisory for those who will be going to Israel and Iran amid escalating conflict between the two countries.

This is in the midst of Iran’s attacks using drones and missiles to Israel.

“After a meticulous assessment, we also urge concerned agencies to consider issuing an advisory against travelling to these two countries in the light of the ongoing tension,” Poe said.

The senator stressed that the safety of the Filipinos should be the “primodial concern” for the government.

“We call on our embassy officers in these countries to monitor the situation of our kababayans and ensure utmost precautions about their safety and if necessary, encourage them to restrict their movements to the minimum,” Poe said.
