00:00 Meanwhile in the Philippines, the family reunited in Abu, a Filipino caregiver who was one of the victims of the Hamas attack in Israel.

00:08 Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.

00:10 Grace Prodigo Cabrera, a refugee from Israel, had a lot of dreams for her family.

00:19 But after she returned home, she was forced to return to her family.

00:25 Grace is one of the four Filipinos who were killed by the Hamas in Israel on October 7.

00:33 With the help of the local government of Pampanga, her husband, mother, brother and step-brother joined her in the rescue.

00:41 Grace's husband was able to hold on to the urn that contained her grandfather.

00:47 And what other family members saw was that her brother, May, fulfilled Grace's dream of giving her family a good life.

00:58 Grace was able to help and she was able to remember her siblings.

01:03 She loved them.

01:10 Before I became a teacher, I was in the OFW. I was with Grace Hongkong.

01:21 She told me, "Sis, when I return to Israel, we will go to Hongkong. We will not be in the OFW anymore. We will be tourists."

01:36 Aside from the laughter of various government agencies, Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines, Elon Flores, also arrived.

01:43 He said that Israel considers the Filipino victims of Hamas as family.

01:48 My message to the family and to the Philippine government is that any casualty who was murdered in a terror act in Israel joins the big Israeli family of the victims of terror.

02:10 Which means that the Israeli government will take care of the family.

02:18 Grace's brother Mary June Prodigo, also an OFW in Israel, returned to her grandfather.

02:25 Mary June was with 22 Filipinos who returned to the Philippines from Israel.

02:30 This is the fifth batch who returned from the war there.

02:34 Among them is Elvira Ising, a caregiver from Haifa City in Israel, who is also in detention now because of the Hezbollah's influence in southern Lebanon, which is a Hamas ally.

02:46 Jason Tevez, a hotel worker, was told by his family in the Philippines that he should just go home.

02:53 I stayed in Israel for 22 years. I experienced all the wars.

03:02 It's really scary. You can't explain yourself. You want to go home now.

03:08 I want to be with my family now.

03:13 The total number of Filipinos working in Israel is around 30,000.

03:19 Tomorrow, there will be a 42nd return.

03:21 According to the DMW, the number of Filipinos returning from Israel is around 200.

03:28 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
