Lawyer Dennis Gorecho discusses faith as among the qualities that help Filipino seafarers to endure the hardships they face on the job.

A seafarer’s faith is his most powerful weapon in overcoming difficult emotional, or even dangerous, shipboard conditions and in making life at sea bearable in many ways.

Religion assists seafarers in coping with dangerous and emotionally challenging workplaces. It offers for the ordinary Filipino seafarers strength, hope and peace in relation with their daily work and social relationships on board the vessel. Seafarers are more likely to draw on their belief in a God to help them at times when they are powerless to help themselves.

There are still 36 Filipino seafarers still missing due to the capsizing of the Panama-flagged livestock carrierFILE PHOTO.
