00:00Nasa 24 na Pinoy na nagtatrabaho sa MV Hondius ang nakatakdang i-repatriate patungo sa Netherlands para sa ma-align
00:09sa quarantine hingga sa posibleng exposure mula sa Hantavirus.
00:14Si Jeremy Piscano sa detalye.
00:20Nakatakdang i-repatriate patungong Netherlands ang 24 sa 38 Pilipino na nagtatrabaho sa cruise ship na MV Hondius para sumailalim
00:30sa quarantine dulot ng posibleng exposure mula sa Hantavirus.
00:34Sa virtual press briefing kagabing, sinabi ng Migrant Worker Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak na ililipad ang 24 na mga hotel
00:42worker mula sa Tenerife sa Canary Islands patungong Netherlands.
00:47Ang 14 naman sa mga ito ay mga deck and engine crew na siya magpapatakbo ng barko patungong Rotterdam sa
00:54nasabi rin bansa.
00:55Repatriation to the Netherlands, the next 24 hours, today and tomorrow, there will be 24 for today and 10 tomorrow
01:08seafarers who will be boarding repatriation flights for the Netherlands.
01:14So that's a total of 24 for today, 20 tomorrow.
01:19And there in the Netherlands, they will commence their quarantine, the quarantine period which will run up to about 6
01:30weeks.
01:30There will be 14, the deck and engine crew or a great bulk of the deck and engine crew will
01:37set sail for the Netherlands,
01:40in Rotterdam, Netherlands, to bring the ship to port in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
01:47And upon arrival of the ship at port, the 14 crew will likewise commence their own quarantine, pursuant to the
01:55quarantine period of 6 weeks.
01:58Sinabi rin ng Kalihim na sabay-sabay makakauwi ng bansa ang lahat ng pinay-crew ng Hemihondius sa oras na
02:04matapos ang mga ito sa kanilang quarantine.
02:06Patuloy rin na makakatanggap ng sahod ang mga nasabing tripulante habang sila isumasa ilalim sa quarantine.
02:13Sagot rin na may-ari ng barko ang gasto sa quarantine ng mga tripulante.
02:18Ayong kay Health Secretary Ted Jervosa, nakahanda ang public health system ng bansa.
02:23We are capable with our infectious disease and critical care facilities to take care of any patient that somehow gets
02:32to the Philippines.
02:32Pero as of now, wala pa. And the 38th, wala rin nag-test na positive.
02:37So I'm very confident. We'll just watch this case and monitor and hope they will finish their quarantine period without
02:45symptoms.
02:46Patuloy rin na nakikipag-ugnayan ng DMW sa Department of Foreign Affairs para mabantayan ang kanilang sitwasyon.
02:53Alinsuloy na rin sa direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na matiyak ang kanilang kaligtasan at kapakanan.
03:00Mayroon rin ipagkakalobang pamalaan ng financial assistance para sa Pinoy Sea Parers na sakay ng Hemihondius.
03:07We will provide financial assistance, action fund assistance as we always do to our returning seafarers, more particularly also in
03:20this case.
03:20And then, yun nga, as we always do, we talk to the manning agency to ensure that the entitlements are
03:29due, are forthcoming.
03:34Ang technicality dito, once they arrive in the Philippines, the contract terminates.
03:41However, there could still be some benefits by way of some form of compensation, but we will have to evaluate
03:54this with the lawyers and the manning agency.
03:57But kung ang tanong lang ay from the Philippines side, may financial assistance, of course, matagal na itong pinag-utos
04:02ng ating Pangulo sang-ayon sa pondo natin sa action fund.
