As part of the celebration in September of the National Maritime Week and the World Maritime Day, the Convenors of the information campaign โKarapatan: sama-samang ingatanโ will conduct a symposium on September 28, 2022.
The symposium will be a venue for the Filipino seafarers to be apprised of the programs, services and initiatives of maritime-related government agencies and other industry stakeholders in upholding their welfare and securing their rights. It is part of the awareness campaign to encourage the countryโs seafarers to seek guidance from relevant government agencies, seafarersโ unions, and non-government organizations whose mission is to provide services for seafarersโ welfare and well โ being. Empowering seafarers by keeping them well-informed is seen as a proactive measure to come up with win-win solutions on matters regarding the protection of their career and employment.
The discussants of the symposium are representatives from MARINA, POEA/DMW, OWWA, NCMB, NLRC, ISWAN, AMOSUP, and from Licensed Manning Agencies.
In this regard, we invite you to submit questions that you may have relative to Seafarers Employment Contract, crew claims, repatriation, R.A. 10706 (Seafarers Protection Act), and other related concerns that you may have pertaining to employment as a seafarer.
