FILIPINO SEAFARERS MULA GERMANY BALIK-PINAS NA

TUI Cruises

MAHIGIT sa 300 Filipino crew members ng dalawang cruise ships ang dumating sa bansa noong Mayo  25 via chartered TUI Airlines flight.

Ang mga seafarer, na umalis sa  Hamburg, Germany noong Mayo 24, ay may dalawang buwan nang naghihintay ng repatriation makaraang suspendihin ang kanilang cruise liner routes, pangunahin sa Caribbean region, dahil sa coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Batay sa report, ang Filipino crew na bahagi ng ilang libong Sea Chefs and TUI Cruises employees na may magkakaibang  nationalities, ay inasistihan sa send-off ng TUI staff at nina Philippine Ambassador to Germany Ma. Theresa Dizon-de Vega, at Labor Attaché Delmer Cruz.

Bago sumakay, pinasalamatan ni De Vega ang  Filipino crew sa kanilang pasensiya at pang-unawa.

“It has been a very difficult period for all of you and we look forward to the time when you can all come back to work in the cruise industry,” aniya.
