Migrante International teamed up with various organizations to launch what it called a National Day of Action to uphold the rights and welfare of Filipino seafarers.

Participants from all over the world joined calls for the government to give priority to seafarers’ concerns amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, stopping labor export, and to pass the Makabayan bloc’s House Bill 6588, or the “Magna Carta for Seafarers’ Rights.”

Also present in the forum were various seafarers and their families, who shared experiences and thanked Migrante and other groups for their support. “Hanggang ngayon po, hindi pa po kami nakakampante na mga pamilya ng 40 missing crew na hanggang ngayon po ay naghahanap kami ng imbestigasyon at kasagutan ukol sa pangyayari,”[Translation: Until now, the families of all 40 missing crew members are not yet complacent. We’re still seeking out an investigation and the answers about the incident.]
