Filipino Seafarers’ Remains Return Home After Gulf of Aden Missile Attack

Adrian Parungao reported on the arrival of the remains of two Filipino seafarers who were killed in a missile attack in the Gulf of Aden. The MV True Confidence vessel was targeted by Houthi rebels on March 6, resulting in casualties among the Filipino crew members. The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) confirmed the return of the deceased seafarers to the Philippines, with the other crew members also safely back in the country.

Out of the 15 Filipino crew members on board the MV True Confidence, two lost their lives in the attack while others sustained injuries. The DMW, in coordination with the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, will extend support to the families of the deceased seafarers. The tragic incident also claimed the life of a Vietnamese national, adding to the toll of casualties in the attack.

As the nation mourns the loss of the two Filipino seafarers, efforts are being made to provide assistance and support to their families during this difficult time. The DMW’s commitment, along with the collaboration of other government agencies, aims to ensure that the families receive the necessary care and assistance as they cope with the tragic loss of their loved ones.
