“I encourage the DMW to make sure that our kababayan are not at a disadvantage when it comes to salaries and benefits,” he added. “This is not only happening to our seamen but also to land-based contract workers such as engineers, accountants, draftsmen, and others. It seems Filipinos are receiving a smaller salary compared to other nationalities, particularly the Europeans and Americans,” said Yap.
