IN line with his commitment to promote the welfare and protect the rights of Filipino seafarers before, during and after employment, Sen.
Christopher Lawrence 'Bong' Go continues to push for the passage of Senate Bill 1191, which seeks to provide a Magna Carta for Filipino Seafarers.The measure aims to cover a wide range of issues that usually affect seafarers. If passed into law, it shall help secure the right of the country's seafarers to decent and humane employment and set a guide for seafarers on training, overseas employment, and retirement.
Go thanked the European Commission for its decision to recognize certificates issued by the Philippines that will allow Filipino seafarers to continue working on European Union-flagged ships.In December 2021, the EC informed the Philippine government that the recognition of its seafarer certificates would be withdrawn unless serious measures were taken, including compliance with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers.
