The Department of Foreign Affairs on Thursday issued a clarification after President Rodrigo Duterte said he will not help undocumented Filipinos staying in the United States.
The statement of the President regarding Filipinos in the United States has to be put in its proper context, said a DFA statement released on social media.
As guests of the United States, Filipino citizens there have a responsibility to make sure that they follow all laws and regulations of that country, it said....
To Filipinos there (in the United States), you better be on the right track. If you are not allowed to stay there where you are staying, get out because if you are caught and deported, I will not lift a finger, the President said.
