THE government will give a cash aid of P150,000 to each Filipino who will be returning home from Lebanon, as fighting between Hezbollah and Israeli forces continues to intensify in the Middle Eastern country.

Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said the assistance was ordered by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who convened the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) 'to come together and provide the utmost post-repatriation assistance or post-arrival assistance.'
