The last ten Filipino crew members of the M/V Minoan Courage arrived safely at NAIA Terminal 3, according to the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Thursday.
DMW said that the seafarers arrived via Etihad Airways on Wednesday and were welcomed by the DMW and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
They were the last batch of 21 seafarers repatriated after their Greek bulker was attacked by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea on October 1.
Earlier batches arrived on October 9 and 13. Their return was facilitated by the DMW and OWWA, with assistance from their manning agencies.
