NUMBER 1 provider of seafarers in the

world earning US$ 5.4B dollars annually
(25% of OFW remittances) that help
stabilize the economy heavily dependent on
foreign investments and export-import
industries.

*
SEAFARERS OF THE WORLD
More than 450 licensed private manning and/or
crewing agencies and ship management companies
in the country. With minimum capitalization of P5M
at least, their operating expenses yearly would
amount to some P3 B.

More than 400,000 marine officers and sea-based

workers at any one time onboard ocean-going
vessels. Filipino seafarers are the fourth biggest
remitter of dollars worldwide.
SHIPBUILDERS OF THE WORLD
Some 50 big and small shipbuilders/ship repair yards
owners and operators, boat-builders and others that
place our country in the top four global shipbuilding
nations.

In an archipelagic country- thousands of domestic

and overseas ship, boats, tugs and barges
operators, including those still riding in motorized
ferries and bancas even in remote barrios, islands
and islets.
FISHERMEN OF THE WORLD
More than 50 M fishermen, fishing households,
and other fisher folks live off the bounties of our
rich and pristine waters, marine resources, and
other fish farming businesses.
.
In 2012, , PHILS supplier of 3.1 m tons of fish,
mollusks and other products worldwide With
1.5 m employment generated.
 MARITIME TRAINING CENTERS OF THE
WORLD
110 big and small maritime training centers
handling over 50 STCW training courses at present.
90 maritime schools providing the educational
needs of more than 60, 000 cadets yearly.
>10% percent of them are getting shipboard training
annually

Maritime programs have been primarily seafaring

based due to absence of inclusive vision to
develop other programs in maritime and port
administration, logistics and make fisheries and
marine environment part of a total package for the
maritime industry.
 MARITIME GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
OF THE WORLD

Thousands of employment such as Department of Labor

& Employment, DOTC, DTI, MARINA, Philippine Ports
Authority, Bureau of Customs, Philippine Coast Guard,
Philippine Navy, Maritime Industry Authority, Department
of Foreign Affairs, and other agencies continue to be
involved in the recruitment, licensing, certification and
processing of seafarers' documents such as seaman's
book, visas, passports, other travel requirements and the
like..
 PORTS OF THE WORLD
More than 100 international and local
ports and terminals serve as gatekeepers
and source of livelihood of thousands of
dockworkers, office staff and other
laborers work efficiently day in and day out
to process, facilitate entry and exit of 90
percent of our import and export cargoes
for domestic and overseas markets.

 PORTS OF THE WORLD

Notwithstanding the presence of these huge
number of warm bodies and resources, how
much do they pay in terms of taxes and other
contributions to the national coffers?

Maritime sectors have remained big fixtures

but sadly play only "supportive roles".

Maritime plays major role as "enabler" or "key-

player" in the country's economy

 WHAT DO WE PROPOSE?
Archipelagic Philippines requires unified and
orchestrated efforts from the Filipino people and
Government to push for INCLUSIVE economic
development to higher levels.

> MAINSTREAM MARITIME

With globalization surging fast--the ASEAN Market

Integration already at hand---there is urgent need for
us to enable our maritime sectors to be "key player
towards the desired goals of economic prosperity,
mass job creation, and upliftment of people's lives
Philippine Maritime Industry Vision
We live in a global society which is
supported by a global economy and that
economy simply could not function if it were
not for ships and the shipping industry.
Shipping is truly the lynchpin of the global
economy: without shipping, intercontinental
trade, the bulk transport of raw materials and
the import/export of affordable food and
manufactured goods would simply not be
possible. (IMO, 2012)

 Consider: The maritime industry is the

most INTERCONNECTED of all
forms of transportation, supporting
millions of jobs and billions of dollars
in economic output. If maritime stops
grinding, for sure our highways, rails
and air cargoes will also stopped.
 International Maritime Organization (IMO)
had said: Of all the sectors that make
up the global transport infrastructure,
"unfortunately maritime probably has
the lowest public profile and the least
representative public image." Its
importance is not well known although
not a single aspect of our life remains
unaffected by it.
 As global trade continues to grow, more
innovative and progressive maritime
policies must take center stage for the
Philippines to become not only as an
industry leader ( or source of human
capital) locally but worldwide.

History in maritime tradition that dates

back to the Manila-Acapulco galleon
trade during the Spanish regime.
 Let us think big and ahead what it
would look like to achieve the vision
of Keeping the Philippines Stronger
through a vision of a Maritime
Philippines.

a. Sustained supply of qualified, competent
and dedicated maritime professionals /
seafarers and all to move cargo affordably,
safely, securely and efficiently for the local
and overseas needs .
b. More incentives for national flag
vessels and companies within global and
domestic trade. We must consciously
reduce dependency on foreign control of
the Philippine maritime trade and
commerce.
.

C . Be the Global Industry Leader in maritime transportation, support

services and intermodal connectivity the sophisticated hub of the
wheel for all forms of transportation moving billions of tons of cargo in
a safe, environmentally sound and efficient manner. Provide safe and
efficient ships and maritime professionals both for DOMESTIC AND
OVERSEAS needs.

D. Realize the Philippines' Marine Highway Programs vision: The full

integration of Marine Highway vessels and ports into the surface
transportation system to ensure that reliable,, competitive, and
sustainable services are a routine choice for shippers and
passengers.
E. PROVIDE adequate budget support to maritime
industry under the DOTr, MARINA, PPA and the
Philippine Coast Guard

* SHOULD BE at par with the other modes of

transportation such as aviation, highways

F. Revisit obsolete and irrelevant laws and align

with the new national and international
requirements

Thus, we must ask now: Are we ready to work and

achieve in Keeping the Philippines Stronger
through an Inclusive economic program with a
National Maritime Agenda?'
 PRESIDENTIABLE'S COMMITMENT
The Philippines is in a most advantageous position
with God-given vast natural maritime endowments with
a reservoir of rich and diverse fish, minerals and other
marine resources, complemented by an available hard-
working coastal fisher folks, globally competent
seafarers, able maritime executives, and ever
expansive-looking maritime communities.

Recognizing this, the development of a national

maritime agenda will form part of my government
platform to achieve an inclusive economic progress
under my leadership. (SGD. 01/27/16)

MAYOR RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE

1.The Philippines is the top provider of
competent marine officers and ratings with a
share of 28% of seafarers in the international
merchant shipping, do you believe that we must
continue this global advantage? And, where do
you think we must be headed to in the future?

2. We are also one of the top shipbuilders ( now

ranked as. 4th shipbuilding country in the world).
and ship repairers worldwide, do you believe we
must prioritize this global industry by
Government ? What is your position in reviving
the steel industry in the country to support
shipbuilding ?
3. We are also known as top maritime education and
training center in the world, but, sadly the private sector
is doing most of the work. The main hindrance to
graduating students is the on-the-job training
requirement onboard ships. Schools are unanimous in
the need for a Philippine training ship as a major solution
to this problem. Additionally, schools clamor for tax
exemptions or incentives form for procuring maritime
equipment to satisfy international and government
requirements. More graduates, more officers, more
seafarers. The Government sees these as private
concerns. How do you think should this be addressed
considering that seafarers dollar remittances comprise
25% of share of the over all OFW remittance?
4. At present, some of our ports and terminals are
being controlled by Government but mostly under
private sector for what they say for better efficiency,
simpler administration and more revenues. How do we
keep our ports and terminals at peak efficiency, secured
and better controlled and at the same time address the
issue of port congestion that leads to our monstrous
traffic problem?

5. Now that we have less and less ships owned by

Filipinos for domestic and overseas service, there is the
urgency that we must reform our flag registry and
revise some of our arcane shipping laws to attract
foreign investors. As the future President, what do you
think must be done to encourage more investors in
ship-owning in the Philippines?
6 .Under your reform agenda, you have always given
security, elimination of criminality, maintenance of
peace and order via strong leadership and strict
discipline. And China bullying us in our own territory
and warding off our fishermen from venturing into the
seas? What must be done on this issue as this is
clearly a maritime concern also on safe navigation in
West Philippine seas?

7. Considering the vast untapped potentials of

maritime industry , do you believe in the need to
give maritime keyplayers major role to develop our
economy? If yes, what can we expect from you in
your inaugural Presidential speech on a clear
maritime agenda as part of your platform to help
develop our country?
8. May we know your plan for efficient transport
system including developing Philippine waters as
an alternative means of safe transportation
with river taxi as form of mass transport
addressing traffic and cleanup of waterways?

9. Do you think the PHL needs to strengthen its

domestic shipping industry which is clearly not a
priority of government considering its current
state as it lags behind standards for safety
including offering better opportunities as those
enjoyed by seafarers from the overseas shipping
so that there are more options available for
seafarers? What will be your policy in this
area?
10. How do you see the fishing
industry which has much
potentials as part of the
maritime but does not get
much support as well ?

PRESIDENTIABLES
at
KANDIDATO SA
SENADO AT
KONGRESO
Sa loob ng maraming dekada at sa kabila ng pagsisikap
na maabot ang kaunlarang pang-ekonomiya na siyang
magtatawid sa bawat Filipino sa isang maginhawang
buhay.

Nakapagtataka na ang industriyang maritima kailanman

ay hindi nagkaroon ng makabuluhang pakikibahagi sa
pagbuo ng polisiyang pambansa...

Patuloy na kinalimutan ng pambansang pamunuan ang

arkipelagong binubuo ng mahigit pitong libong isla, ng
Malawi at mayaman na karagatan at katubigan,
mahuhusay at malaking bilang ng Pilipinong Marino at
higit sa lahat ng isang sambayanang patuloy na umaasa
sa kabuhayang nakasalalay sa likas na kayamanang
galing sa dagat at sa kabuhayang nakasalalay sa
natatanging biyaya ng karagatan.
Hindi kaya na ang hinahangad na pag-angat ng
ekonomiya upang tapusin ang kahirapan, magbigay ng
trabaho at kabuhayan sa nakararaming Filipino at sapat
na pagkain sa bawat mesa, ng pagkakaron ng mataas
na antas ng edukasyon ay makakamit sa pagtataguyod
ng isang matatag na industriyang maritima?

Ang kakayahang i-angat ang Pilipinas sa pamamagitan

ng idustriyang maritima ay pinatotohanan ng Filipinong
marino na kinikilala sa buong mundo, ng mga
mangagawa sa pantalan at sa baradero, ng mga
negosyo at pamamahala patungkol sa barko at ng mga
pamayanan sa baybay-dagat na patuloy na umaani ng
yamang-dagat sapat na tumutugon sa pangangailangan
ng bansa.
Sa gitna ng umiigting na init ng kampanya ng mga
naghahangad maging Pangulo ng Pilipinas
nakalulungkot na gaya ng dati, ang industriyang
maritima ay hindi naisasama na isang makabuluhang
usapin.

Ito ang tamang panahon upang isulong ang

pagakaroon ng Pambansang Agenda para sa
Industriyang Maritima.
