Time for another edition of: "No Filipinos Hurt." Brought to you by the DFA and Philippinefails. Whenever and wherever disaster strikes the DFA will be sure to let us all know whether any Filipinos were hurt or killed.
At least two Filipinos were injured while 41 others had to be rescued in the onslaught of Typhoon Mangkhut in Hong Kong, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Monday.
A Filipina tourist had to undergo leg surgery after being hit by flying debris. Another Filipina was also hurt by falling debris but needed no hospital treatment, according to the report of Consul General Antonia Morales to Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano.
The consul general also reported that a 36-member Filipino tour group had to be assisted after being stranded when the windshield of their bus was shattered by strong winds.
The bus was supposed to bring them to the airport. A bus was sent to rescue the group to bring them back to their hotel.
Hong Kong authorities also had to rescue five Filipino workers of a dive resort.
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration also received calls from Filipino household workers who sustained minor injuries but did not need hospital treatment, according to Morales.
Oh no!
He must be lonely out there with no other Filipinos around to eat lechon and rice and sing karaoke with. Or maybe that is exactly why he is out there by himself? To get away from it all!
If there is only one Filipino in this area of Indonesia just how many Filipinos are in Haiti, Tanzania, and Congo?
