Philippine diplomatic missions in the United Arab Emirates have advised Filipinos to remain calm, stay sheltered in their homes, and avoid unnecessary movement amid evolving regional security developments.
The Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai issued the advisory following the General Civil Aviation Authority announcement of a temporary and partial closure of the UAE’s airspace as a precautionary measure to ensure flight safety and safeguard national territory.
Officials emphasized that the measure is intended to protect passengers, aircrews, and the public amid rapidly evolving regional conditions.
“The public is urged to continue to heed official UAE and Embassy sources,” the advisory stated.
