Filipino seafarers deployed in 2023 reached 489,852 with the corresponding dollar remittances amounting to $6,715,880,000.
The International Transport Workers Federation held a three-day Seafarers’ Expo from June 23 to 25 at the CCP Complex, Pasay City in line with the celebration of the International Day of the Seafarers. One of the welfare societies that participated in the ITF seafarer expo is Stella Maris. It is formerly known as the Apostleship of the Sea, which is the Catholic Church’s missionary work to the peoples of the sea, particularly seafarers, whether they be on merchant, passenger, war or fishing vessels.
The purpose of the proclamation is to give due recognition to the vital role of Filipino seafarers towards the development of the Philippines as a maritime country. “Promote the rights and just interests of seafarers; the international rights and safety of ship routes; promote that ships are safe, fitting and reliable for sea journeys.”
A pending legislation that stakeholders are awaiting is the passage of the Magna Carta for Filipino Seafarers.
