SEN. Christopher Lawrence 'Bong' Go appealed anew on Friday for the passage of his measure that seeks to provide a Magna Carta for Filipino seafarers.
The vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Migrant Workers cited the significant role of Filipino seafarers in global trade and marine transportation as well as the huge contribution of all overseas Filipino workers to the country's economy.Senate Bill 1191 aims to cover a wide range of issues affecting seafarers. It will help secure the Filipino seamen's right to decent and humane employment and set a guide for their training, overseas employment and retirement.
He thanked the European Commission for its decision to continue recognizing certificates issued by the Philippines that will allow Filipino seafarers to continue working on European Union-flagged ships.In December 2021, EC informed the Philippine government that the recognition of its seafarer certificates would be withdrawn unless reforms were put in place, including compliance with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers.
