00:25First of all, my fellow countrymen, the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers was passed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:33This September 23, our President passed the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers.
00:40This is to ensure the rights of Filipino sailors.
00:45As part of the aspirations of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers, it is to ensure a stable salary, safe working conditions, and the continued training of sailors.
00:57This law will strengthen the protection of Filipino sailors against abuse and discrimination.
01:04The Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers is important because it will help our Filipino sailors prepare for their career in the global maritime industry.
01:16According to President R. Marcos, passing this law is part of the recognition of the government of the sacrifices and contributions of Filipino sailors in the country.
01:27This is a way for Filipino seafarers to be seen, heard, and the government to support them.
