THE Department of Migrant Workers admitted on Friday, March 22, 2024, that it cannot prevent vessels carrying Filipino seafarers from plying through routes that are deemed as 'war-like' zones.In an online media briefing, DMW Officer-in-Charge Undersecretary Hans Leo Cacdac said it is not within their capacity to prohibit ships from passing through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea despite the recent string of hostilities in the area.
This, he said, include ensuring the rights of the seafarers to refuse to sail in that area, or be entitled to additional benefits in case they agree to join the voyage. 'What we do have a hold is the plight and the safety of our seafarers aboard those ships,' he said.'When principals and manning agencies recruit seafarers, they process their seafarers with the DMW. And in so doing, there are obligations,' added Cacdac.
