The Philippine government says Pirates have released a Greek-managed ship with 22 Filipino crewmen after five months in captivity. The Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Tuesday the information came from Bright Maritime Corp., the local manning company of the St.-Vincent and Grenadines-flagged bulk carrier. It wasn't immediately clear when the ship and crew were released, the Associated Press reported. Pirates seized the ship on April 14 in a rare overnight attack. It was heading to India from Jordan.
