THE Association of Licensed Manning Agencies (ALMA) Maritime Group welcomed the recent ratification of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers, especially with the re-inclusion of Section 59 or the Execution of Judgement and Monetary Awards.

Section 59 protects Filipino seamen from ambulance chasers or lawyers who lure them into filing court claims against their employers and extracting unwarranted fees thereafter.
