MECO monitoring Pinoys in Taiwan

MANILA, Philippines — As a typhoon batters Taiwan, the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) is monitoring the situation of over 150,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and migrants staying there.

With the bad weather expected to prevail over the next few days, MECO said it received reports of panic buying among Taiwanese citizens.
