The proposed Magna Carta of Seafarers — a bill that seeks to protect the welfare of seafarers — has been approved by the House of Representatives on the third and final reading. | GabrielLaluINQ
Lawmakers supportive of the bill, like House Committee on overseas workers affairs chairperson and Kabayan party-list Rep. Ron Salo believe the bill would address concerns of seafarers in terms of security of tenure and medical assistance.
“Kaisa kami ng Filipino seafarers sa panawagang magkaroon ng isang tunay na Magna Carta na magtataguyod ng kanilang mga karapatan […] Unfortunately Madam Speaker, we have approved today House Bill No. 7325 which is a watered-down Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers that is not in line with the demands of seafarers themselves,” Brosas said.
