Robredo also attended a multi-sectoral gathering in Cabanatuan City where she addressed false information on an earlier statement she made about Filipino seamen.

“Yung akin pong mga statement tungkol sa programa sa seamen, pinutol-putol, iba na 'yung paniniwala ng mga seafarers natin. Mabuti, 'yung ibang nakakaintindi na tsinatsagaan na panoorin 'yung hindi spliced na videos. Dapat nga po maging masaya tayo, first time bibigyan ng priority 'yung maritime industry,” Robredo said.

(My statement on the program for seamen was spliced and was misunderstood by our seafarers. It's a good thing that some who understand the issue were patient enough to watch the full videos. We should be happy because this was the first time that the maritime industry was given priority.)

She reiterated her plan to upgrade the trainings of Filipino seafarers so they would qualify for higher pay.
