NEWS | Filipino seafarers were warned that illegal online activity involving child sexual abuse material (CSAM) can lead to arrest, deportation, and permanent damage to their careers, as maritime authorities and industry leaders launched a campaign against online sexual exploitation on Tuesday, May 12.

“Deportation is not the main issue; it is just a consequence of the violation,” said Migrant Workers Undersecretary Bernard Olalia during the campaign launch.

The warning followed a rise in cases involving Filipino crew members denied entry to the United States over alleged possession, viewing, downloading, or sharing of child sexual abuse material.

Industry figures showed nearly 100 Filipino seafarers were deported in 2025 and later banned for life from entering the United States.

The latest case involved 26 Filipino crew members from Disney Cruise Line who were among 28 crew arrested in San Diego during a US Customs and Border Protection crackdown on child sexual exploitation material.

“This is about protecting our seafarers at every level. One mistake, especially in the digital space, can cost them their career, their ability to work abroad, and the livelihood of their families,” said Atty. Iris Baguilat, chairperson of the Association of Licensed Manning Agencies.

US Embassy Consular Section Visa Chief Robert Romanowski said Filipino seafarers are not exempt from US and Philippine laws involving CSAM.

“Seafarers must understand that viewing, possessing, or sharing CSAM has serious consequences,” Romanowski said.

Maritime leaders said the campaign aims to educate crews and prevent future arrests, deportations, and employment losses among Filipino seafarers.
