The House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs has called on government to immediately ratify the International Labor Organization Work in Fishing Convention No. 188 that was adopted over 14 years ago to protect  fishing crew in foreign commercial vessels, many of them Filipinos currently facing  various abuses and exploitation, including “slave-like” working conditions.

In a virtual meeting Wednesday, the House panel chaired by TUCP Partylist Rep. Democrito C. Mendoza unanimously approved House Resolution 1152 urging government to ratify the WFC 188 that was adopted  during an ILO general conference which was reportedly attended by the Philippines.
Despite its adoption in 2007,  the WFC 188 was not completely  processed by the Philippines for approval by the president and  for subsequent confirmation by the Senae.
