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.

                    [Summary] => 

Pinalaya ng mga pirata sa Somalia ang may 20 Pinoy workers matapos ang mahigit apat na buwang pagkaka-hostage makaraang magbayad umano ng "ransom money" ang kanilang employer.


Sa ipinadalang ulat ni Special Envoy to Middle East Ambassador Roy Cimatu sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), pinalaya ng mga pirata noong Sabado ang may 20 Pinoy seamen na dinukot sa Somalia.


Nilinaw ni Cimatu na walang ibinayad na ransom money ang pamahalaan bagkus ay nakipag-ugnayan lamang ito sa mataas na opisyal sa Somalia para mapalaya ang mga tripulante.
