Itinaas na ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) ang Crisis Alert Level 3 o Voluntary Repatriation sa bansang Haiti dahil sa patuloy na gulo na nangyayari dito.
Dahil dito, pinagbabawalan ang pagpapadala ng mga overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) sa nasabing bansa at ang mga Pilipinong naiipit sa kaguluhan ay pinapayuhang maging maingat.
“The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announces that it has placed Haiti under Crisis Alert Level 3 (Voluntary Repatriation) in view of the current unstable security situation in the country. The said alert level also prohibits the deployment of new and returning Filipinos to Haiti,” ayon sa abiso ng DFA.
Sa kasalukuyan, aabot sa 169 OFWs ang nananatili sa Haiti na karamihan ay nasa Port-au-Prince.
