UP to 300 Afghans–half of them children–arrived in Manila on Monday to complete the processing of their special immigrant visas required for their immigration to the US, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said.
The Afghans, who arrived in one batch, will be temporarily housed in an undisclosed United States-funded facility. They were supposed to arrive on Saturday, Jan. 4, but bad weather in Kabul delayed their flight to Manila.
