00:00There were a lot of gatherings when the 17 seafarers arrived,

00:04who had been a part of the Huthi Rebels for more than a year.

00:07This is what Denise Osorio reported.

00:11The 17 Filipino seafarers who arrived in the Philippines last night at 9 PM were emotional.

00:17Some of them were just hugged by their relatives who joined them.

00:21They were the Filipinos who were a part of the Huthi Rebels in the Red Sea in November 2023.

00:27They were on board of the MV Galaxy Leader which was hijacked by the rebels.

00:31Aside from their relatives, government officials like the Department of Migrant Workers,

00:37Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Transportation, Department of Health, and others also joined them.

00:43According to DMW Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak,

00:46the seafarers were asked to return to the Philippines immediately.

00:50It's more about the families reuniting.

00:53And it already happened.

00:55And we're giving them time to be together.

00:58They said, no, we want to go home and see our families.

01:02And so, immediately, we booked them.

01:05According to the Department of Health,

01:07the Filipino seafarers need to go through medical protocols and debriefing.

01:12They are not traumatized.

01:15They came from a traumatic situation.

01:19What we don't want to happen is for them to develop the so-called post-traumatic stress disorder.

01:24DMW is ensuring the assistance and benefits that the seafarers will receive from their agency.

01:31Continuous payment of what we call allotments, right?

01:34The payment of the salaries doubled in this case, right?

01:38All throughout the 428 days.

01:41So that's number one.

01:43Number two, we provided the necessary financial assistance to the families along the way.

01:48We flew everybody in to Manila to meet them personally face-to-face.

01:53Education and scholarship, yes.

01:55That will be among the next round of assistance packages we will provide.

02:02ASEC Kiko de Guzman is here.

02:04It's our reintegration ASEC.

02:05So there are also reintegration livelihood packages in store for them.

02:09The seafarers will stay with their families for the next few days

02:15while they follow the medical protocols.

02:18First, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. is grateful to Oman

02:22for negotiating with him to free the seafarers.
