'Love' keeps Filipinos in Gaza

Dracula
By Dracula

As the number of Filipinos who agreed to leave Gaza continued to go down, most of those who have decided to stay in the war-torn strip, have done so because of love and family.
Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs Esteban Conejos said the Philippine government originally offered repatriation to 128, consisting of 20 Filipinas and their families, but the wives chose to stay with their husbands when the Israeli government refused to allow Palestinians to leave Gaza.
Foreign Affairs spokesman said this batch was choosing to stay not for money or work , but for "love"
Conejos said that as in the previous repatriations, the Philippine government could only provide the opportunity for the Filipinos to leave, but “they cannot be forced to leave.” “We would be in bigger trouble if we do.”

"We cannot interfere in the love area. Remember these are adult Filipinos who are accountable for their children. They have taken responsibility for their own life and their decision is to stay with their husbands," he said.
