Ten Filipino seafarers are among a 16-men crew of the Hanjin Scarlet Ship stranded in international waters, a few miles off Victoria, in the Georgia Straight in British Columbia. A group of kababayans decided to bring the stranded sailors some holiday cheer. Kabababayans from the Filipino community in Victoria, with the help of BC ferries, played Santa by bringing the seafarers donations of food — like pancit and pan de sal — warm clothing, and even a Christmas tree.
