Around 1,000 Filipino seafarers are currently stuck in the Strait of Hormuz aboard some 500 vessels run by shipowners from Southeast Asia. The number has decreased from a peak of 2,000 ships during the crisis, with more than 50% being Filipino. Some ships have turned off their radar to avoid detection. The Philippine Embassy in Oman assisted three Filipino seafarers on the MV Wedyan, which was hit by an Iranian missile, ensuring their safe return home.
