In the Philippines in recent years, merchant seaman has been gaining popularity as a profession among young people, adding to the thousands of Filipino workers already working overseas. This is good news for the rest of the world, which depends on Filipino sailors to keep the global shipping industry afloat. Filipino sailors now make up one-third of all maritime workers worldwide as youngsters in advanced shipping nations shy away from the occupation. This episode of Asia Insight highlights one of the many maritime schools in the Philippines and focuses on the life of a young cadet who has dreams of becoming a ship captain.
