[Title] => 20 kidnapped Pinoy seamen in Somalia freed
[Summary] =>
Twenty Filipino seamen kidnapped by pirates in Somalia in March have been released and are on their way home, officials said yesterday.
The men were freed unharmed on Saturday, and it wasn’t immediately clear whether any ransom had been paid, said Roy Cimatu, the government’s special envoy to the Middle East.
"I am not privy to their negotiations, but piracy is rampant there. So most likely ransom was paid. Almost all shipping lines pay ransom," Cimatu told The Associated Press.
