BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – The Philippine Embassy in France urges Filipinos who are in Paris or planning to go to the French capital should soon practice vigilance and caution after last Friday’s terror attacks. However, there are no travel restrictions posted in the place.

The Philippine Embassy is asking the Filipinos to monitor the news and official French government advisories for the updates on the attacks.

“Everyone is requested to exercise vigilance and caution and to be aware of their surroundings, with the view to ensuring their personal security,” the embassy said.

Series of mass shooting, suicide bombing and hostage taking was held in Paris on Friday night leaving 129 dead people and over 300 injured.
