A group of seafarers on Saturday thanked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his decision to delay the enactment of the Magna Carta for Seafarers law acknowledging the oppressive provisions against seafarers.
Sarra explained that requiring certain conditions, either a cash bond or surety, before a seafarer can access the awarded benefits is another burden to the seafarers who have already lost their jobs, are injured, or under disability. The Magna Carta will define the rights and guarantee the well-being of Filipino seafarers, encompassing the reintegration program, complaint mechanism, and social welfare perks.
