An active SRB/SID holder but in between contracts not a seafarer under the Magna Carta

Quick Summary:

A holder of an active Seafarer’s Record Book (SRB) and Seafarer’s Identity Document (SID) is not a seafarer in between contracts, according to the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers.

In fact, several provisions intend to include even those not “engaged, employed, or working.” The Magna Carta is less effective due to the non-inclusion of those “to be engaged.

To be valid, it must conform to the following requirements: (1) It must be based on substantial distinctions; (2) It must be germane to the purposes of the law; (3) It must not be limited to existing conditions only and (4) It must apply equally to all members of the class.(People vs.Cayat, G.R.No.L-45987, May 5, 1939).
