MANILA (Updated 10:39 a.m.) — Crisis alert level 3 has been raised Wednesday in Iraq due to “higher-than-expected” surge in terrorist and sectarian violence in the Western Asia nation, foreign affairs officials said.

Under alert level 3, which covers all regions of Iraq except the northern autonomous region of Kurdistan, Filipinos who wish to leave Iraq are offered voluntary repatriation at government expense.
