00:00Pagsalubong sa mga nailigtas ng seafarers ng MV Devon Bay,
00:05ating pag-usapan kasama si Undersecretary Felicitas Bay
00:08mula sa Department of Migrant Workers.
00:11Yusek Bay, magandang tanghali po sa inyo.
00:15Magandang tanghali din sa iyo, Yusek Cheres,
00:19at sa lahat ng viewers and listeners ng ating programa.
00:26Okay, ma'am, una po sa lahat,
00:27kamasa po ba ang kondisyon ng 15 seafarers po na nasagip matapos ang paglubog po ng MV Devon Bay?
00:36Okay, kahapon ay nagkaroon tayo ng pagkakataon na masalubong sila
00:41at makipag-ugnayan sa 15 seafarers, ganun din sa kanilang pamilya.
00:48At masasabi kong sila ay generally in stable condition,
00:53may saya at may lungkot sapagkat meron pang hindi nakikita,
01:01reportedly missing at yung dalawa nilang kasamahan ay
01:05nagkataon na sila ay namatay o hindi na nakasamang maayos ang kalagayan.
01:16So, they were in the body bag.
01:18So, masasabi naman natin yung health condition.
01:22Of course, they still have to undergo the medical check-up.
01:26While on board, they were given initial medical assessment and evaluation
01:31by the Philippine Coast Guard medical team.
01:34And yesterday, at the agency, the Licensed Manning Agency's office,
01:43they were also given, they have to undergo a medical examination.
01:48So, we still have to await whatever the results are,
01:52but I was informed that they are in generally good condition.
01:57It's good to hear, ma'am.
01:59Pero, maliban po doon sa nabanggit ninyo na initial medical assistance and examination,
02:03ano-ano pa pong agarang tulong at assistance ang ibinigay ng DMW
02:06maging ng OWA sa mga survivor pagdating ng mga ito?
02:10Of course, nagkaroon po tayo ng welfare check sa kanila
02:16because it's very difficult at that point, at that stage yesterday,
02:23na sila ay kausapin ng mga detalye.
02:25But, in due time, we will coordinate with them.
02:29And, sila po ay bibigyan ng financial assistance ng DMW at ng OWA.
02:38Ito po ay maliban doon sa kanilang assistance matatanggap mula sa kanilang ahensya.
02:46At ganun din po doon sa namatay na seafarers.
02:50At kahapon po sila ay may funeral arrangement or funeral services
02:55and eventually, they will be entitled to their death benefits.
03:00Meron po tayong ipagkakaloob na action fund from the end of the DMW
03:05na financial assistance doon sa next of kin
03:08or the immediate family member noong dalawang namatay.
03:13Ganun din po, may proseso po for the OWA death benefits
03:17at iba pa rin po ang death benefits or entitlement
03:23noong seafarers in accordance with a contract
03:28or if there is a CBA or collective bargaining agreement.
03:33Magbibigay din po tayo ng psychological support or psychological counseling
03:41should there be a need
03:43sapagkat naka-alerto naman po ang ating regional offices
03:48because most of them will be returning to their home provinces.
03:54So, i-coordinate po natin yan
03:56sa pakikipag-ugnayan din po ng ating regional office
03:59sa Department of Health
04:01or the accredited hospitals with the Department of Health.
04:06At nakita ko po na meron tayong kasamahan dito sa DSWD.
04:10Meron din po naman tayong coordination sa DSWD
04:13in their respective regional offices
04:16should there be a need for psychosocial counseling.
04:21Ma'am, kamas na naman po yung pakikipag-ugnayan ng DMW
04:25sa Philippine Coast Guard at mga otoridad
04:27upang matiyak na tuloy-tuloy po
04:29yung search and rescue operation sa mga crew members
04:32na hanggang ngayon po ay nawawala.
04:36We are very grateful
04:38with the assistance and efforts extended
04:41by the Philippine Coast Guard.
04:44At tuloy-tuloy po yung aming ugnayan,
04:46si Admiral Commandant Ronnie Gavan po
04:51was there yesterday
04:53and assisted our team who went on board.
04:57At siya po ay nag-assure sa DMW at sa OWA
05:01na yun pong search and rescue operations
05:06para dun po sa apat na seafarers
05:10ay tuloy-tuloy po.
05:11At yun din naman po ang assurance
05:13na ibinigay natin sa kanilang mga kaanak
05:16na nandito po sa Maynila
05:19at yung iba po ay nasa probinsya.
05:21Okay.
05:22Yusek, baka po meron na kayo natanggap
05:24na paunang impormasyon kung paano
05:26o kung ano po yung sanhin ng pagtagilid
05:28at paglubog ng barko.
05:29At kumusta po yung inyong koordinasyon
05:31sa mga involved agencies
05:32para naman matiyak ng DMW
05:35na magiging transparent yung investigation?
05:37Okay.
05:40The matter is still pending maritime investigation.
05:46So, hindi po siguro muna nararapat
05:50na magbigay tayo ng conclusion on the matter
05:53because it's still pending investigation.
05:56But let me assure you
05:58in behalf of the DMW po
06:00na tayo po ay nakikipagugnayan
06:02sa Philippine Coast Guard
06:03at dun sa Licensed Manning Agency
06:06and other agencies
06:08on this concern
06:11para po ito ay mabigyan na
06:13ng kaukulang resolution.
06:17But in the meantime,
06:18ang atin pong tinututukan
06:21ay yun pong welfare
