Filipinos should also check with the Philippine Embassy in Yangon for developments.
"Filipinos in Myanmar are once more advised to avoid places of protest, monitor developments through reputable sources, and check with the Philippine Embassy in Yangon for further advisories," the DFA said in a statement.

The Philippines reiterated its call for a "complete restoration of the status quo ante and allow State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to play her unifying role."
