The Philippine Ambassador to the UAE likewise praised the country as a model of multiculturalism: “Isang kahanga-hangang makita na about 200 nationalities ay naririto at naninirahan at nakapagbuo ang United Arab Emirates ng isang lipunan na nagkakaisa at may kaayusan,” said Amb. Quintana.
With the UAE’s safety guidelines, Amb. Quintana said that even the families of Filipinos back home are at ease and confident with the UAE’s capability to combat and curb the spread of COVID-19.
“Kung ako ay nag-a-apila sa aking mga kababayan, ay akin lagi silang pinapaalalahanan na mag-ingat at sumunod sa alituntunin ng bayang ito. Ito rin ay aming ipinapadama sa kanilang mga pamilya sa Pilipinas na huwag silang mag-alala sapagkat ang bayang ito ay napakahusay sa mga pag-iingat,” said Amb. Quintana.

“Sa aking mga kababayan dito sa United Arab Emirates, ako ay humahanga at kayo nagkaroon ng magandang kooperasyon na ipinakikita sa pagsunod sa mga alituntunin ng bansang ito. Ipagpatuloy ninyo ang ating mga pag-obserba ng mga protocols na ipinalabas ng pamahalaan at magpatuloy tayo na magdasal at maging ligtas,” said Amb. Quintana.
