Two House representatives, Ron Salo and Marissa 'Del Mar' Magsino, expressed their delight over the signing of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR). The IRR, which benefits over 600,000 Filipino seafarers, will ensure the full implementation of the Magna Carta, safeguarding their rights and elevating the Philippines' standing in the global maritime industry.

Kabayan Party-list Rep. Ron Salo and OFW Party-list Rep. Marissa 'Del Mar' Magsino have welcomed the signing of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers Implementing Rules and Regulations ( IRR ) on Wednesday, Jan. 8. Two House members who are known advocates of overseas Filipino workers' (OFWs) rights have welcomed the signing of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers Implementing Rules and Regulations ( IRR ) on Wednesday, Jan. 8.

Hailing this development--which will benefit over 600,000 Filipino seafarers--were Kabayan Party-list Rep. Ron Salo and OFW Party-list Rep. Marissa'Del Mar' Magsino. Salo, one of the principal authors of the Republic Act (RA) No. 12021 or the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers, said Wednesday was'a historic day for our seafarers'. 'The signing of the IRR marks the beginning of the full implementation of a law that will not only safeguard their rights and welfare but also elevate the Philippines’ standing in the global maritime industry,” he said. The Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers codifies the rights and obligations of seafarers, strengthens their education and training, and ensures compliance with international maritime standards. It also establishes measures to protect seafarers from exploitative practices and align the policies of government agencies. The IRR provides the specific mechanisms and guidelines for the effective enforcement of these objectives, ensuring that the Magna Carta’s provisions translate into tangible benefits for Filipino seafarers. “I commend the Department of Migrant Workers, under the leadership of Secretary Hans Cacdac, the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), and all the government agencies that actively participated in crafting the IRR. I also commend the private sectors - both the unions, representing the employees, and the manning agencies, representing shipowners and employers - for their support and active participation,” Salo state
