00:00After more than a year, the Philippines has finally brought home the 17 Philippine seafarers

00:07who were rescued by the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea in 2023.

00:11Aside from their love for life, they also received a lot of help from the government.

00:17Denise Osorio has the details.

00:23The 17 Philippine seafarers who arrived in the Philippines last night at 9 o'clock were emotional.

00:29What's different from them is that they were hugged by their relatives who joined them.

00:33They are the Filipinos who were rescued by the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea in November 2023.

00:38They were ridden by the ship MV Galaxy Leader hijacked by the rebels.

00:43Aside from their relatives, the government also welcomed them

00:47such as the Department of Migrant Workers, Department of Foreign Affairs,

00:51Department of Transportation, Department of Health and others.

00:55According to DMW Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak,

00:58the seafarers were asked to go home immediately.

01:17According to the Department of Health,

01:19the Filipino seafarers need to go through medical protocol and debriefing.

01:24They are not traumatized.

01:26They came from a traumatic situation.

01:30What we don't want to happen is that they develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

01:36DMW is ensuring the assistance and benefits that the seafarers will receive from their agency.

01:42Continuous payment of what we call allotments.

01:45The payment of the salaries double in this case.

01:49All throughout the 428 days.

01:53So that's number one.

01:54Number two, we provided the necessary financial assistance to the families along the way.

02:00We flew everybody in to Manila to meet them personally face-to-face.

02:05Education and scholarship, yes.

02:07That will be among the next round of assistance packages we will provide.

02:13ASEC Kiko de Guzman is here.

02:15It's our reintegration ASEC.

02:17So there are also reintegration livelihood packages in store for them.

02:21The seafarers will stay with their families for the next few days

02:26while they go through medical protocol.

02:29President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. was the first to thank Oman

02:34for negotiating with him to liberate the Filipinos.

02:39Denise Osorio for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
