RECOMMENDATIONS:<br />

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 />

jobs and any support <strong>for</strong> the <strong>overseas</strong><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 />
