|June 26, 2024
President Marcos yesterday vowed to support the modernization of the Philippines' maritime industry and promote seafarers' competitiveness and safety.
This year's Day of the Seafarer is "a clarion call" to share best practices that make the maritime sector a "better, safer and more fulfilling workforce," Marcos said in a statement.
"We recognize the role and efforts of the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) by promoting a highly skilled and competitive maritime workforce as well as adopting an effective and efficient maritime administration governance system," he added.
On June 12, Houthi rebels in the Red Sea attacked the Greek-owned and Liberiaflagged freighter MV Tutor, which carried a crew of 22 Filipinos.
