Are the Sea Marshalls still around? I regularly travel by ship from Cebu to Manila and all I see are the ship security guards roving around.

As I understand, sea (and air) marshalls pretend they are just ordinary passengers

802 rescued from Superferry
Board of Marine Inquiry starts probe on fire

By YUL MALICSE

Ship in Cebu when fire hits top deck

A special Board of Marine Inquiry (BMI) yesterday started its investigation on the fire that hit Superferry 12 of WG & A Shipping Corp. the other day where a total of 664 passengers — including 638 adults, 23 children, and three infants — and 138 officers and crew were rescued off Bantayan Island in Cebu.

Commodore Ramon Liwag, Task Force Sea Marshal commander and chief of the Philippine Coast Guard-National Capital Regional District (PCG-NCRD), said in his report to PCG Commandant Vice Admiral Arthur Gosingan that the cause of the fire was yet unknown.

Initial reports, however, said the fire originated from Cabins 205 and 206 in the ship’s top deck at around 11:50 a.m.

When alarmed, the sea marshals, composed of members of the PCG, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and the Philippine National Police Maritime Group (PNP-MG),immediately evacuated the passengers, who had started to panic. The sea marshals then put out the fire.

At about 1:15 p.m. the same day, the fire was placed under control, and by 4:47 p.m. a "fire out" status was declared.

The ferry left Manila at about 6 p.m. Wednesday for the cities of Cebu and Cagayan de Oro.

Liwag said the ferry functioned normally, proceeded and reached the Cebu port, prior to the fire.

Sea marshals rescue 18 minors onboard ship


By NONOY E. LACSON

ZAMBOANGA CITY — Police and military sea marshals aboard an interisland vessel rescued 18 female minors who were victims of illegal recruitment and their guide while on their way to Metro Manila from Cotabato City last Wednesday.

Zamboanga City Philippine Coast Guard station chief Lieutenant Commander Roy Echaverria said sea marshals of M/V Cotabato Princess rescued the minors from Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao.

They looked like they were just 14-years-old and claimed that their ages were between 25 to 35. They were recruited in their hometown by a representative of Kingdom International Manpower Services based in Metro Manila to work in the Middle East as domestic helpers.

Echaverria said that Hadji Ali Awal of Taguig City, owner of the recruitment agency, promised them that they will be paid a big salary in the Middle East.

They were identified as Monera S. Ibrahim, who said her age was 24; Norma Tumendeg, 24; Baitayan Kaadil, 27; Ottee Teng, 25; Fatima Maunting, 40; Mila Mamalintao, 22; Saria Undalayan, 25; Norhata Kabangkan, 23; Aliyaha Undongan, 25;

Rayana Hadon, 22; Aisah Batawan, 22; Rahima Mamokao, 22; Norain Norodin, 22; Normaya Ali, 24; Habiar Labing, 23; Raida Ismail, 23; Julkaina Tanakaw, 23; and Nasria Gumaya, 23; all of Dalican, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao.

Their guide was identified as Mama Ibrahim, 23, male, single.

Echaverria said that the sea marshals noticed them moving suspiciously in a group. When the sea marshals asked them, they said they were recruited by a company in Metro Manila to work abroad.

Sensing that they were minors, the sea marshals gathered them and turned them over immediately to the PCG station in Zamboanga City.

They claimed that they just completed elementary in their town.

Echaverria said they will be sent home.

He said the PCG provided them food while undergoing investigation. They were turned over to the social welfare and development office here.

We didnt realize how helpful these guys are until this incident.

This development has strengthened the need to field more secret marshals in all ships not just to thwart terror attacks but to stop all other crimes.

GOOD JOB, MARSHALS! :salute:

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

When I was in Tokyo, Japan last month, I came to know Filipina entertainers looking as young as 15 years old in strip clubs with a dual calling as prostitutes.

I'm just not sure if they were telling the truth that according to two girls whom I got a chance to chat in my hotel, their job in the recruitment and contract back home they signed thru an agency is different from what they were doing in Japan. And because they were already there, they have no choice except to stay on to avoid paying back huge sum of money to the placement agency.

We have an embassy in Tokyo and consular offices in major cities in Japan and why can't they stop this trafficking of young girls that landed in prostitution dens in Japan?

Nightspots in Japan are mostly protected and owned by Japanese Mafia, (the Yakuza).
