BAHRAIN 02 June 2020 – Amid the persisting global travel restrictions due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Philippine Embassy in Manama continues to extend assistance to overseas Filipinos returning to the Philippines.

The Embassy successfully facilitated the repatriation of six Overseas Filipinos previously working in Bahrain by funding their tickets and securing the necessary exit permits. The Embassy also assisted five seafarers transiting in Bahrain from the United Kingdom by securing their transit permits with the Bahraini government.

The repatriates joined other passengers of Gulf Air Flight 154 which left Bahrain in the evening of 30 May 2020 and arrived in Manila on 31 May 2020.

The Embassy remains committed in helping Filipinos reunite with their families in the Philippines by providing repatriation assistance to those in need. END
