The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is mobilizing a comprehensive whole-of-government assistance program for Filipino seafarers and their families impacted by recent Houthi rebel attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
The cargo ship Eternity C was attacked by Houthi militants in the Red Sea, resulting in one believed dead and four missing. Twenty-one crew members abandoned the ship, with 10 rescued. The ship's management is verifying reports and seeks assistance from nearby vessels in the ongoing search.
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said it is now studying filing criminal and civil charges against the principal and licensed manning agency (LMA) of the Filipino crew of MV Eternity C for multiple violations of its regulatory measures.
