00:00After more than a year, the 17 Filipino seafarers returned home to their families

00:06who were captured by the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.

00:08The government has confirmed that they will continue to help our fellow Filipinos

00:13who were rescued from the battlefield.

00:16Denise Osorio was at the center of the news.

00:20The 17 Filipino seafarers who arrived in the Philippines last night at 9 p.m. were emotional.

00:26Some of them were just hugged by their relatives who joined them.

00:30They were the Filipinos who were rescued by the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea in November 2023.

00:36They were ridden by the boat MV Galaxy Leader hijacked by the rebels.

00:40Aside from their relatives, the government also welcomed them

00:44such as the Department of Migrant Workers, Department of Foreign Affairs,

00:48Department of Transportation, Department of Health, and others.

00:52According to DMW Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak,

00:55the seafarers were asked to return to the Philippines immediately.

00:59More about the families reuniting.

01:02It already happened.

01:04And we're giving them time to be together.

01:07They said, no, we want to go home and see our families.

01:11And so, immediately, we booked them.

01:14According to the Department of Health,

01:16the Filipino seafarers need to go through medical protocol and debriefing first.

01:21They are not traumatized.

01:23They came from a traumatic situation.

01:28What we don't want to happen is for them to develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

01:33DMW is ensuring the assistance and benefits that the seafarers will receive from their agency.

01:39Continuous payment of what we call allotments, right?

01:42The payment of the salaries double in this case, all throughout the 428 days.

01:50So that's number one.

01:51Number two, we provided the necessary financial assistance to the families along the way.

01:57We flew everybody in to Manila to meet them personally, face-to-face.

02:02Education and scholarship, yes.

02:04That will be among the next round of assistance packages we will provide.

02:11ASEC Kiko de Guzman is here.

02:12It's our reintegration ASEC.

02:14So there are also reintegration livelihood packages in store for them.

02:18The seafarers will stay with their families for the next few days

02:24while they undergo medical protocol.

02:27First, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. was grateful to Oman

02:31for negotiating with him to free the Filipino refugees.

02:37Denise Osorio for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
