Seafarers' Deployment On The Rise

The Philippines recorded an all-time high deployment of Filipino seafarers in 2023, Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac reported.

“Noong 2023 naka-all time high tayo. Lagpas sa limang daang libo kaya’t ang ating demand for maritime seafarers ay patuloy,” Cacdac said at a forum in Quezon City. This leaves around 30 percent of Filipino seafarers still in the country awaiting deployment.


Cacdac said the high number of deployed Filipino seafarers last year was not affected by the issues hounding the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
