ABROAD: Filipino crew of Costa Concordia hailed

The Filipino crew of the ill-fated Costa Concordia that ran aground in Italy last week, was hailed for accommodating and helping the passengers to get off the ship safe.

The 296 crew were commended by their agency the Magsaysay Maritime Corporation for the reports they received from their foreign counterpart.

In the report, a French passenger thanked the cooks and the stewardesses, all Filipinos, in helping them and many of the passengers to get down to the lifeboats for their safety.

The 296 Filipino crew are now in Rome, Italy and awaiting for their flight back to the Philippines.
