About 400 Filipinos in Haiti appear to have recovered and are “generally fine” six months after a killer quake hit the Caribbean nation, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Sunday. The DFA said staff of the Philippine embassy in Cuba, which oversees the Filipinos in Haiti, had paid a six-day visit to the Filipinos in Haiti but did not say when. “Whereas they had slept in makeshift tents before, Filipinos have returned to sleeping in their houses, albeit nearer to doors for fear of any possible aftershocks,” the DFA said, citing a report from the team headed by Ambassador MacArthur Corsino. Filipinos in Haiti have enough more food supplies now “as various supermarkets have reopened,” the report added. The report said some of those who returned to Manila “are back at their previous jobs or in related employment.” A magnitude-seven earthquake hit Haiti on Jan. 12, killing 300,000 Haitians. Some Filipino peacekeepers were also killed. in the quake while 63 were sent home from Port-au-Prince, through the Dominican Republic. The DFA said the embassy staff visited Port-au-Prince and Santo Domingo to look into the the security, welfare, accommodations and job situation of Filipinos in Haiti. “Although 1.2 million Haitians are still “living in tents ... in poor sanitation, and suffering from lack of water, electricity and proper toilet facilities, the 250-strong Filipino community there is relatively living well,” the DFA said. About 160 members of the Philippine Army contingent headed by Colonel Clifford Cyril Riveral and the police unit in the MINUSTAH are now housed in new and safer quarters.
