“I’d like a report on whether this was willful neglect on our part or they were working for some f_____g Filipino recruiter,” Locsin said in a tweet on Sunday
Aside from a report on the case of the 22 seafarers, Locsin also ordered Undersecretary for Civil Security and Consular Concerns Brigido Dulay, Jr. to coordinate with the nearest Philippine consulate in Hebei province and bring home the stranded overseas workers. Dulay said the ship is anchored off Hebei, currently a COVID-19 hotspot, where Chinese authorities are reportedly “reluctant to disembark” the Filipino seafarers. He told Locsin in a tweet that they are now working to get a berthing permit from Chinese authorities.
