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.
