There is a need to revise existing laws<br />
greatly affecting sea-based workers,<br />
primarily the Migrant Workers Act, since<br />
that said Act mainly addresses land-based<br />

<strong>seafarers</strong> is stipulated only in the<br />
affirmation of very general principles as<br />
Filipinos deserving protection from the<br />
State.<br />
