Amid escalating tension in the Middle East, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration urged all manning and recruitment agencies to submit a weekly report on the situation of Filipino workers – both sea and land-based – assigned to the Middle East.
As cited in POEA advisories no. 2 and no. 3 series of 2020 dated January 10 and January 8 respectively, Olalia directed all concerned licensed manning agencies on the monitoring and reporting on the status of all OFWs – including Filipino seafarers on board vessels transiting in ocean and seas surrounding Middle East countries.
He added that “all manning agencies which have Filipino seafarers onboard vessels transiting in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, and the Indian Ocean” must accomplish and submit the said monitoring form. “Manning agencies are further directed to regularly coordinate with their respective principals, closely monitor the condition of their deployed seafarers on board, and ensure proper implementation of their contingency plans in case of escalation of tensions in the aforementioned areas,” Olalia said in the advisory.
