00:00We lost all our clothes. We are wearing now the old ones. We lost our luggage, which we
00:21bought for our home.
00:22Well, will you continue sailing?
00:24No, no, no more.
00:25No more?
00:26No more, no more.
00:27You will stop?
00:28Yes, I will stop.
00:29How many Filipino sailors are still stuck there?
00:31There are 157 Filipinos in Somalia now.
00:35And what do you want people to do?
00:37Just pray to God, so they are set free.
00:40When you were captured, did you speak to your wife ever?
00:43I have talked to my wife four times since captivity.
00:47She has allowed us to talk on the phone.
00:51And did you think about how you are going to come out of this?
00:58Did you fear death or something else?
01:01I have feared that maybe this is the end of our life.
01:04But since the negotiation was going on, our hope was full that we can go home safely.
01:12Same as the other crew that was in captivity in Somalia.
01:17They go home safely, and we have this faith that we will go home safely.
01:21Of course, even after going home town, I would like to take this matter up,
01:25so that the same situation doesn't happen to my fellow sailors.
