00:00The Department of Migrant Workers is continuing to strengthen the protection for seafarers

00:05to avoid being a victim of ship abandonment.

00:08These are the cases of seafarers who were abandoned and are not paid by the owner of the ship.

00:13This is Noel Talacay's report.

00:17The Philippine seafarer is no longer a victim of ship abandonment around the world.

00:22This is what the Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak said.

00:27According to Kakdak, almost all have returned home this year

00:32except for three who are currently in a hotel in Germany and are waiting to return home.

00:39Kakdak also confirmed that all of them have received medical, financial and legal assistance from the agency's Action Fund.

00:48A few were exposed in an online news portal

00:52the cases of Filipino seafarers who were victims of ship abandonment.

00:57But Kakdak insisted that this is no longer new to them because they have been monitoring this for a long time.

01:04It is proven that the Philippines is part of the amendment of the Maritime Labor Convention

01:10where ship abandonment cases are included.

01:14There was also a magna carta for the seafarers who were attacked by President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.

01:21where the DMW and the Navy were involved.

01:34According to the DMW, there are four cases of ship abandonment that were given a resolution this year.

01:41Kakdak also said that one of the highest cases of ship abandonment are fishing vessels

01:48like the case of Ahensya ng Buwan ng Tala.

01:52According to the DMW, the permit was cancelled after the administrative case

01:59and the 246 Filipino victims were given assistance

02:03who were given P10.3 million from the agency's Action Fund.

02:10So we have brought them to justice before the DOJ so that they will face the human trafficking charges

02:17for the poor living standards and conditions of seafarers, of the fishers on board

02:25and that their benefits and salaries have not yet been claimed.

02:34Because of this, the DMW plans to strengthen the policies of the seafarers

02:41whose jobs are in the fishing industry.

03:03Including the drafting of a standard employment contract for fishers

03:07and a more specialized pre-departure orientation seminar tailored for fishers.

03:12According to the DMW, from 2018 to 2024,

03:17they have already registered the cases of ship abandonment

03:21where the Filipino seafarers are included.
