President Rodrigo Duterte is considering the creation of another agency for Filipino seafarers.
“I will also create another agency and that is the maritime, the seafarers, kasi sinabi ko sa kanila iba-iba ‘yung treatment ko doon because of the so many international laws involved dito,” Duterte said in a speech aired early Tuesday.
The Chief Executive instructed Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III to look into the situation of a Filipino seafarer stranded in Vietnam.
“I’ve read that one Filipino has been stranded in Vietnam right now. I’d like to ask Secretary Bello, if he’s listening, to look into the matter. He has been there for two years,” according to him.
“That is unconscionable. I cannot accept that kind of mistake of government. We should bring him home. No Filipino should be left stranded like a person with no nationality. Tingnan itong mabuti itong problema na ‘to at baka ma-solve kaagad. I hope the Department of Labor would take this suggestion seriously,” he added.
