MANILA, Philippines — The government is preparing to evacuate more Filipinos from Sudan following the departure of an initial batch of 50 after a 72-hour ceasefire was declared in the East African country. President Marcos said on Tuesday that he met with military and defense officials to discuss the matter. 'Right now, we are hoping that the 72-hour ceasefire that has been declared will hold and we are preparing ourselves,' he said in a video message posted on the Presidential Communications Office's social media pages.
