00:00 Philippine authorities are set to repatriate a Filipina caregiver who heroically saved
00:05 her patient from Hamas forces.
00:07 Members of the Palestinian militant group Hamas intruded on the home of Camille Gessalva's
00:11 patient, 95-year-old Nitza Hefetz, on October 7.
00:16 After hiding from intruders for hours in an eventual confrontation, Gessalva gave Hamas
00:20 members all the money in her wallet, around 1,500 Israeli new shekel or 375 US dollars.
00:28 It was her savings for the vacation back to Philippines she was supposed to go on.
00:33 Israel Defense Forces eventually rescued the women on the same day and transferred them
00:37 to a shelter in Jerusalem.
00:39 The 31-year-old caregiver, who is set to come home soon, says she is determined to return
00:43 after a 50-day vacation.
00:45 Gessalva says she made a promise to Hefetz that she would take care of her until she
00:49 dies.
00:50 The Philippines has so far repatriated four batches of overseas Filipino workers, totaling
00:55 119 workers and four infants.
