碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 建築與城鄉研究所 / 97 / The Filipino seamen in fishery are not only labor power at the bottom of the primary sector of Taiwan, but are also recognized to be part of sea-based workers among millions of overseas Filipino contract workers. The Philippines is on top of crew nationality in the merchant seafaring worldwide. Filipino seafarers are regarded as professional overseas workers as well as ideal breadwinners in Philippine society. Nevertheless, Filipino seafarers at the entry level are widely suffered by severe unemployment due to over-competition under labor market segmentation.
Filipino seamen of Ilonggo Seafarers Organization (ISO) re-construct their social networks and develop an institution during the labor life in Nanfang-ao fishery. They take use of their experiences to join in fraternity clubs in the Philippines to manage the organization. The interaction between the members also reflects the habits and values of “barkada” male bonding in the Philippine society. On the basis of collective identification of seafarers and mutual trust, ISO initiates their own mutual-aid system to support the livelihoods of each member’s family. Also, they share the social capital to enhance the mobility in the transnational migration field with each other.
The thesis argues the independent organizations/associations of migrant workers in Taiwan can only be understood through the multiple cultures, traditions, and social positions they are embedded. Moreover, “self-organizing” as a representative practice of social capital, its function and meaning has to be analyzed under the perspective of transnational migration.
