“Meanwhile, the Philippine Consulate General in Barcelona reported that there is no confirmed information at this time on Filipino nationals affected by the train crash near Barcelona,” dagdag pa nito.
Nakahanda ring tumulong ang embahada sa mga Filipino na maaaring naapektuhan ng insidente.
Sa abiso na inilabas nitong Lunes, sinabi ng embahada na na-derail ang tren na patungong Madrid at tumawid sa kabilang track dahilan para makabanggaan nito ang paparating na tren sa Adamuz, malapit sa lungsod ng Cordoba, noong Enero 18.
