00:00Trauma, that's what was left by the attack of the rebels in the Red Sea this weekend.

00:07One of our fellow countrymen who was saved from the incident,

00:11told us about his experience.

00:14Let's find out from Rod Lagusa.

00:18A new attack happened in the Red Sea.

00:22In this video, you can see the explosion that happened in MV Transworld Navigator,

00:27where some Filipinos were riding.

00:29A reason for the wreckage of their ships.

00:34According to the US Central Command,

00:36the Iranian-backed Houthis attacked the MV Transworld Navigator,

00:40which is a Liberian flag, Greek-owned and operated by Bulk Carrier,

00:43using the so-called Uncrewed Aerial System.

00:46Because of this, some crew members suffered minor injuries and the ship suffered moderate damage.

00:51This is the fourth attack of the Houthis on the so-called Faisal.

00:55PTV News Anchor Dominic Almelor and his brother, Joel Almelor, were with the crew members of this ship.

01:01It was just last night, in the Philippines,

01:04when his brother said that his ship was being attacked by the Houthis.

01:08According to his brother, they just woke up from the strong explosion.

01:12Based on the initial assessment,

01:14after the three consecutive attacks,

01:16there was no significant damage to their ship.

01:19I told him,

01:21Father Jesus Nazareno, help my brother and his crew members on the ship.

01:28Please save them.

01:29I can't bear it if something bad happens to my brother.

01:34They were just looking for a way to survive.

01:36But they will be involved in this mess,

01:41which they shouldn't deserve.

01:43According to Joel, it's a good thing that he didn't hit their rudder and propeller.

01:47Because of what happened, Joel was traumatized because of the attack.

01:50According to his brother,

01:52a guide came to them in the helicopter area.

01:55Based on the information he received,

01:57there were 27 Filipinos and 4 Sri Lankan seafarers on the crew here.

02:01According to me, if the seafarers agreed or not to go there,

02:06the captain or the ship owner or the manning agency should have a consent.

02:12They should be instructed not to go there

02:16because it's a war zone and it's a red flag area.

02:19Many incidents happened there.

02:21According to Joel's update,

02:23they are heading to the west side of Egypt where they can fix their ship.

02:26And because of what happened,

02:28he won't be joining the Red Sea again.

02:30According to Dominic,

02:32the Department of Migrant Workers is also cooperating with them

02:35to help the affected Filipinos.
