The Department of Foreign Affairs said there are no Filipinos hurt from the 7.9-magnitude earthquake that shook parts of Nepal.
In a tweet, DFA spokesman Charles Jose, using his Twitter handle @dfaspokesperson, the Filipino community head in Kathmandu reported that there are less than 200 nationals in Nepal and that none of them were reported hurt as a result of the temblor.
He also reported that the two Filipino mountaineers in Mt. Everest – Jessica Ann Nicole F. Ramirez and Jose Francisco C. Oracion – are now safe. They went to the Everest base camp for vacation as mountaineers and checked in at Khwopa Guest House Bhaktapur Kathmandu but are now in Durhar Square.
