The proposed Magna Carta for Filipino Seafarers passed on second reading at the House of Representatives on Wednesday. | GabrielLaluINQ

“For the Magna Carta for Seafarers, if they are still working six months after, they would be regularized — whether that be on the shipowner side, on the manning agency, or wherever they are working, usually after six months they would have permanent jobs,” said Brosas in Filipino.

“There is security of tenure for both, there’s one for domestic, after six months it will continue,” Salo said. Salo said payment of disability claims would be given, adding that the amount to be disputed—or claims that would go beyond the tenure of the worker, possibly due to inability to work other jobs—would be the one to be held in escrow.

But Brosas said even claims above the disability award are important for seafarers and their families.
