                    [Summary] => 

Nine of the 20 Filipino seamen seized by Somali bandits and taken hostage for 108 days arrived last Saturday in two separate flights from Dubai via Hong Kong.


Six of the nine — Perfecto Narciso, deck officer; Juliun Nidera, third officer; and Meynard Garcia, Nelson Gipulla, Ronnie Mendoza and Alex Genanda — came home at around 5:30 p.m. Saturday.


Three others, who remained unidentified, arrived at around 8:30 p.m.


All the seamen came home visibly traumatized by their harrowing experience.

                    [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.
