#MARINAPH The proposed magna carta, if enacted, will serve as the enabling law to enforce the Maritime Labor Convention 2006, otherwise known as the 'Bill of Rights' of seafarers. The MLC 2006 sets minimum labor standards for seafarers onboard commercial ships. 'Kaya ang kahilingan po namin ay masiguro lang na kasama ang Filipino fishers sa definition ng Filipino seafarers sa bill (that why we are requesting that Filipino fishers be also covered by the bill),' Cacdac said. Unlike the traditional seafarers, the crew of international fishing vessels are often subjected to underpayment of wages, the substitution of contracts and long working hours with practically no medical benefits. Many of them are undocumented. Even as he expressed full support for the enactment of the proposed Magna Carta for Filipino Seafarers, Cacdac underscored the need to extend protection to Filipino workers deployed onboard overseas fishing ships by including them in the coverage of the bill. DMW USec Hans Leo Cacdac made the pitch in favor of Filipino fishers, who inarguably are the most oppressed and exploited among overseas Filipino sea-based workers, during the recent public hearing on the bill conducted by the House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs. ๐ƒ๐Œ๐– ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐…๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐จ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐›๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ž๐š๐Ÿ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ

Lopez said that the conference will also be holding a simultaneous exhibition and forum that will present the Ship Building and Ship Repair (SBSR) industry of the Philippines.

The event also allows participants to have a first-hand look at what flag states can offer especially with the heightened focus of the European Maritime Safety Agency on all seafarers onboard European-owned ships.

For many years now, Manila has been a favorite venue for international conferences, most notably in the shipping and transportation sector. This has successfully created awareness of the issues these conferences focused on.
