The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said it has not received confirmation yet of any Filipinos hurt or died amid the wildfires that hit Lahaina on the island of Maui, Hawaii last week.
Taylor Ganer and Hano Ganer search for their belongings in the ashes of their family's burnt-down house in the aftermath of a wildfire in Lahaina, western Maui, Hawaii on August 11, 2023.
“Maaari po, pero hindi natin masabi kung talagang Filipino citizens pa kasi sabi ni Consul General Emilio Fernandez, karamihan ng mga Pilipino sa Maui ay American citizens ,” he shared. Although he verified that 1,000 people were indeed missing, De Vega cautioned against making conclusions since they still need to check the data once communications lines are back up.
“Yung mga Filipino naman, wala naman mismo sa forest. Hindi naman sila mismo sa kung saan ‘yun sunog, pero malapit. May mga neighborhood, nasunog ang bahay ,” De Vega said.
