The unconstitutional and discriminatory execution bond provision reinserted in the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers

Quick Summary:

THE contentious provision on the execution bond was reinserted in the latest version of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers despite issues on constitutionality and discrimination.

The Magna Carta was not signed into law by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on February 26, 2024 and was later withdrawn by the House of Representatives for review on some contentious issues, including provisions on disability claims.

The bicameral committee in the first report omitted the escrow but allowed an equally anti-labor and unconstitutional provision on execution bond.
