MANILA, Philippines - More than 40,000 Filipinos in South Korea are ready for evacuation in case tensions in the region erupt into a full-scale war, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said yesterday.

DFA spokesman Raul Hernandez said that while the situation in South Korea remains normal, they have set in place contingency plans including designating exit points for Filipino evacuees.

“We give utmost importance to 40,000 Filipinos in South Korea and the embassy is prepared to undertake a contingency plan,” Hernandez said in Filipino.

If evacuation becomes necessary, Filipinos may proceed to Busan or at any convergence area in Seoul or in Daejeon before they are repatriated.

The DFA said on Sunday that Filipinos in South Korea were put on “heightened alert” in the wake of North Korea’s declaration of a “state of war.”

But he stressed “the overall situation remains calm and normal as life proceeds as usual without any disruption throughout South Korea.”
