Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers pushed in House

Party-list congressmen Eric Go Yap, Jocelyn Pua Tulfo and Rowena Niña Taduran have filed House Bill (HB) 3282, which pushes a Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers.

“We recognize that our seafarers experience varying working conditions. Some of [these conditions] are abusive and against labor standards,” Yap explained, speaking for his two colleagues from the Anti-Crime and Terrorism Community Involvement and Support (ACT-CIS).
