00:00 President Bongbong Marcos canceled his trip to Dubai to discuss the situation of the Filipino crew members
00:07 who were hijacked by the rebelling group Huthi.
00:09 The DFA said that the government will continue to strive to free them as soon as possible.
00:14 Ivan Mayrina has the report.
00:16 On November 19, the Huthi rebelling group hijacked the Galaxy Leader ship in the Red Sea.
00:23 The group hijacked the 25-crowed ship, which included 17 Filipinos.
00:28 Almost two weeks after the hijacking,
00:31 the Department of Foreign Affairs said that the crew members are in good condition based on their sources.
00:37 It is not yet known when they will be released, but the government will continue to strive.
00:42 In the video released by Huthi last week, the commander of the group and crew of the Galaxy Leader visited the crew members.
00:49 He also shook hands with the crew members.
00:52 In the satellite imagery released by Martes, the Galaxy Leader was seen in the Yemen region,
00:58 50 kilometers away from Port City in Hodeida, because it was involved in important developments in the situation of 17 Filipinos.
01:06 That's why President Bongbong Marcos did not continue his trip to Dubai for the UN Climate Change Conference today
