ONE Filipino crew member of the ill-fated M/V MSC Elsa 3, which capsized in the Indian waters more than one year ago, has yet to return home.

In a statement, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said all but one of the 20 Filipino crew members of the Liberian-flagged container vessel have already been repatriated.

"The Department continues to coordinate with the licensed manning agency and the Philippine Embassy in New Delhi to facilitate the safe return of the one remaining Filipino crew member in India," said the DMW.
