MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Monday raised the crisis alert level for the Iraqi Kurdistan region to alert level 2 following the acts of terror committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, a jihadist militant group carrying out executions in Iraq.

"Filipinos in Kurdistan are instructed to restrict non-essential movements, avoid public places, and take extra precaution," DFA said.

The state agency said it continues to monitor the political and security developments in Iraq.
