00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04The Huti group has attacked twice
00:08the other ship with the Filipino crew in the Red Sea.
00:13The command and control of the ship,
00:16as well as the cabin of the crew, was destroyed.
00:18It was videoed a few moments before the first attack.
00:21And we talked to one of them.
00:24Of the almost 30 Filipinos,
00:26Ian Cruz was shot.
00:31It was captured while a small sea vessel was approaching
00:35the MV Transworld Navigator boat carrier
00:39while passing through the Red Sea.
00:41Later, it seemed that the video was hidden.
00:46Until a loud explosion was heard.
00:51A mirror was broken on the bridge of the ship
00:55where the command and control of the ship was located.
00:58A mirror was also broken on the other cabin of the ship
01:01where the crew was continuing.
01:05Among the Filipinos who were seen wearing bullet vests,
01:08some of the crew were sleeping in the hallway
01:11in the middle of the ship,
01:12so it was safer than the other part of it.
01:16One of the Filipinos was Joel Almilor,
01:18the brother of the broadcaster, Dominic Almilor.
01:22Joel told his brother that on Friday night,
01:24the MV Transworld Navigator was the first to be attacked by a drone strike.
01:29It caught fire and was immediately extinguished,
01:32so there is no big blame for it now.
01:34They bombed it thrice.
01:36It was already sleeping.
01:38It woke up to a loud explosion.
01:44Those three times,
01:48when they reported it, I was really nervous.
01:52The next morning,
01:53another ship was attacked by a boat in the Red Sea.
01:57We couldn't stop crying that day,
02:00especially when I saw the video of the fire.
02:03I couldn't bear to see my brother die in such a situation.
02:10Last night, Joel reported that they were already past the high-threat area of the Red Sea.
02:16The HOTI confirmed that the two ships they attacked yesterday
02:21used a surface boat without a crew.
02:24It was owned by a company that sailed in the occupied Palestine.
02:31According to the Department of Migrant Workers,
02:34all 27 Filipino seafarers were saved by the MV Transworld Navigator.
02:39They had a good ship, but they continued to sail.
02:43All Filipino crew of 27 were saved.
02:46The vessel was hit, but not enough to immobilize the ship,
02:52so it managed to sail on.
02:54Right now, it's on safer ground.
02:56I just can't say the exact location.
02:58The DMW is waiting for the latest report
03:02on the engineer who was found riding the sinking MV Tutor.
