The Philippines has pulled its peacekeepers from the Golan Heights ahead of schedule amid worsening security there
A total of 244 of the 344 Filipino soldiers and staff have arrived back in Manila.
The rest will fly in the next week or so.
Some of these troops had traded fire last month with Al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels who wanted them to surrender their weapons.
The gunmen also disarmed and abducted 45 Fijian peacekeepers who were later freed unharmed.
The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force withdrew hundreds of members of the peacekeeping force from the Syrian side of Golan Heights.
They were moved to the Israeli-occupied sector of the area on Monday after Syrian fighters advanced near their positions.
Even before last month's stand-off, the Philippine government had decided not to renew its peacekeeping force in the Golan Heights due to safety concerns.
The Filipino soldiers were scheduled to end their mission next month.
More than 100 Filipino UN peacekeepers have also been recalled from Liberia amid the deadly Ebola outbreak there.
The Philippines also maintains three peacekeeping observers and three staffers in the Ivory Coast and four in the Kashmir region between Indian and Pakistani forces.
