PUBLIC ADVISORY No. 3

7 May 2015

To All Dear Kabayans in Najran Province, K.S.A.

Rocket explosions in Najran have continued for the third day. There is, therefore, a clear, imminent, and persisting threat on the lives, limbs and properties of Kabayans in Najran, particulary those near the border area. Until this threat will have satisfactorily subsided, there is an urgent need to readily evacuate Kabayans, especially those who are within the effective range of the source of the explosions.

The Philippine Consulate is, thus, currently exerting its best efforts to once and for all contact and convince all employers of Filipino nationals in Najran to right away evacuate them to safe and secure nearby areas like Abha. In these regard, as earlier advised, Filipino nationals who would wish to be evacuated by their employers are urgently advised to right away inform the Consulate of the contact information of their employers.

For contact information on employers and other related concerns, Kabayans may contact the following:

            - 050 721 6307,  (012) 619-8478,  (012) 669-2589

Further, preparations are currently underway for the deployment of Consulate’s personnel to assist in the evacuations, if need be.
