The House of Representatives wants to clothe the DMW and other relevant agencies with enough powers to better protect the estimated 700,000 seafarers in either foreign-flagged ships or Philippine-registered vessels operating internationally.
THE House of Representatives wants to clothe the Department of Migrant Workers and other relevant agencies with enough powers to better protect the estimated 700,000 seafarers in either foreign-flagged ships or Philippine-registered vessels operating internationally, to ensure they have full labor protection from the time of training and recruitment up to their retirement from the profession.
Villafuerte said one measure that the House had approved on third and final reading in the last session month prior to its summer break was House Bill No. 7325 that seeks to provide “full protection” to Filipino sailors before, during and after their employment, especially in cases of maritime accidents, epidemics or pandemics, and natural or man-made crises.
HB 7325 grants the DMW Secretary, or his or her representative, access to both foreign-registered ships and Philippine-registered vessels operating internationally, for the purpose of “conducting inspection to ensure compliance with working and living standards of seafarers as provided under this Act.”
