00:00Twenty-one Filipinos who were attacked by a white group have returned to the Philippines.
00:07But one of their companions has not yet been found.
00:11Sandra Aguinaldo has a report.
00:22The man was holding a gun while the alarm was ringing inside the MV Tutor.
00:28Some of their belongings and part of the broken helmet were scattered on the floor.
00:35According to Reuters, the group of Huti attacked the MV Tutor in the Red Sea on June 12.
00:42Twenty-two Filipinos were on board the ship.
00:45After the attack, this is the situation they faced.
00:49It's like a sand dune. It's like a prison. You can't get out.
00:54Twenty-one Filipinos have returned to the Philippines after five days.
00:59However, those who were rescued by the Filipinos were not able to say their goodbyes
01:04because one of their companions is missing.
01:07According to the captain of the ship, the Huti used a fishing boat to blow up their ship
01:14which was then brought to India by coal.
01:17There were two people. We knew that it was a fishing boat because there were people inside.
01:23We couldn't just shoot our armed guards if there were people inside.
01:28Because when we got close to the ship, it exploded.
01:31That's how fast it happened.
01:34A few hours later, they were hit by another explosion.
01:38The next explosion was around 1,300.
01:42It was an attack by a drone on the other side of the ship.
01:46We were able to investigate there.
01:49We didn't know if our enemy came from the water or the wind.
01:54When they counted the people, one person was missing.
01:57He was possibly in the engine room.
01:59Before we left, we checked.
02:03If his boat capsized, we could get it.
02:07But we didn't see a capsized boat.
02:11He was considered missing.
02:13According to the Department of Migrant Workers' Secretary, Hans Kakdak,
02:17his family was able to talk to the DMW.
02:20But he didn't say his name.
02:23MV Tutor was still at sea
02:25while all of his crew were rescued by international forces and brought to the American ship.
02:32No one is injured.
02:34The majority of them, as I talked to them earlier,
02:36seemed to be in battle shock, post-traumatic stress.
02:40On behalf of my crew, I would like to thank the government.
02:51I would also like to thank our company, the U.S. Navy.
