“Philippine embassy and  Migrant Workers office in South Korea will provide legal counsel who will collaborate with  lawyers of  shipping company to come up with  best legal defense for  seafarers,” Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said in  statement.20 Filipino crew members of  ship currently under investigation by South Korean authorities for allegedly carrying cocaine will be provided with additional legal assistance, aside from  legal team sent by the shipping company.

Cacdac confirmed 20 Filipino seafarers onboard  MV Lutina , Norwegian-flagged bulk carrier  are in good health and are receiving legal assistance and other necessary support.

“The 20 are still onboard  ship… they have not been detained or under  official custody of  Korean authorities… they have not been charged with anything but they have been thoroughly advised by lawyers, our strategy right now is to guide and advise them throughout  investigatory process and  provide  best legal advice and defense,” said Cacdac.

Undersecretary Felicitas Bay said  DMW, through its Migrant Workers office in South Korea, has taken steps to ensure  welfare and well-being of the crew.

“All  crew are in good health… their entitlements, allotments,  wages, food supplies and other basic needs are continuously provided by ship owner,” Bay said.

Cacdac added that DMW has begun reaching out to  families of the 20 seafarers to reassure them of  government’s support throughout  investigation.

“We have met six family members, representatives who are here in Metro Manila, to assure them of all  necessary assistance from  government,” he said.
