Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss recently paid a courtesy visit to Senator Raffy Tulfo at the Senate.
During the visit, Fluss praised and thanked overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) for dedication to their work in Israel and concern for their employers.
In particular, Fluss mentioned the heroism of Pinay caregiver Camille Jesalva who risked her life to save her 95-year-old patient from an attack by Hamas militants in October 2023. The Israeli government honored Jesalva for her heroism in July this year.
The two also discussed the technology used by Israel to meet the need for clean and potable water, which can also be adopted in the Philippines.
For his part, Tulfo promised Fluss to support the bill setting August 9 as Philippine-Israel Friendship Day.
