Mas handa at mas ligtas na ang paglalayag sa San Juan, Siquijor matapos mabigyan ng lisensya ang 39 boat captains at motormen at maiparehistro ang 29 bangka sa isinagawang apat na araw na Mobile Registration, Licensing, at Safety Caravan ng Maritime Industry Authority Regional Office VII (MARINA).

Bukod sa pagpaparehistro ng mga bangka at paglalabas ng mga lisensya, pinalawak din ang kaalaman ng mga kalahok sa mga umiiral na maritime safety regulations, vessel compliance requirements, at mga responsibilidad ng mga boat operator at tripulante sa pagpapanatili ng ligtas na paglalayag.

Nagpasalamat naman si San Juan Mayor Hon. Rubilyn M. Ragay kay Regional Director Engr. Ronaldo P. Bandalaria sa maagap na pagtugon ng MARINA sa kahilingan ng lokal na pamahalaan na maisagawa ang aktibidad. Nagpaabot din ng suporta ang tanggapan ni Congressman Zaldy Villa, ang Philippine Coast Guard, at ang San Juan Association of Diving Operators (SADO).

Patuloy ang MARINA sa paghahatid ng mga serbisyong nagsusulong ng ligtas na paglalayag sa Central Visayas.| via Ardeline F. Gestre

The Philippines and Chile discussed areas of collaboration that may promote employment opportunities for qualified Filipino seafarers.

Administrator Sonia B. Malaluan, together with other MARINA officials, welcomed Chilean Ambassador to the Philippines H.E. Felipe Alejandro Díaz Ibáñez to the MARINA Central Office in Port Area, Manila, on 31 July 2026. The two parties discussed the shared commitment of the Philippines and Chile to empowering the maritime workforce and addressing illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

MARINA and the Embassy of Chile in the Philippines intend to enter into an agreement that will establish a framework for the reciprocal recognition of STCW certificates issued by both countries, reaffirming their mutual commitment to upholding internationally accepted standards in maritime education, training, and certification. The proposed agreement is in relation to Regulation I/10 of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended.

Prior to this, MARINA had formalized partnerships with various countries for the reciprocal recognition of STCW certificates, as well as for expanding bilateral cooperation.

Meanwhile, Ambassador Ibáñez encouraged MARINA to actively support initiatives related to the Agreement on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement), which aims to promote the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

The meeting was also attended by STCWO Executive Director Samuel Batalla, MARINA Acting Deputy Administrator for Education, Training and Certification Presca Lee Lugo, and Chief of Staff of the Administrator and Overseas Shipping Service Director Engr. Ramon Hernandez.

Patuloy na lumalakas ang maritime workforce ng bansa matapos maitala ng Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) ang pinakamataas na bilang ng mga aplikasyon para sa Seafarer’s Identity Document (SID) at Seafarer’s Record Book (SRB) sa unang anim na buwan ng 2026.

Umabot sa 162,770 ang SID at SRB applications mula Enero hanggang Hunyo ngayong taon—61.49% na mas mataas kumpara sa 100,791 applications na naitala sa kaparehong panahon noong 2025. Ito rin ang pinakamataas na first-half figure sa nakalipas na limang taon.

Batay sa datos ng MARINA, nalampasan din nito ang 89,058 applications noong 2024, 86,814 noong 2023, at 61,097 noong 2022.

Pinakamataas ang bilang ng mga aplikasyon noong Marso na may 30,943, sinundan ng Hunyo (28,769), Pebrero (27,114), Mayo (26,461), Abril (24,925), at Enero (24,558).

Ayon kay MARINA Administrator Sonia B. Malaluan, patuloy na pinaiigting ng ahensya ang mga hakbang upang gawing mas mabilis, mas episyente, at mas accessible ang pagproseso ng SID at SRB applications ng mga seafarers.

“We encourage our seafarers to continue scheduling their appointments using the eGovPH App via MARINA’s Online Appointment System or OAS. Marami pa pong available appointment slots sa iba’t ibang MARINA offices sa buong bansa. Patuloy po naming pinag-iigihan ang aming serbisyo upang mas mabilis at maayos ninyong makuha ang inyong SID at SRB,” ani Malaluan.

Sa kasalukuyan, mahigit 13,000 appointment slots para sa SID at SRB ang nananatiling available sa iba’t ibang MARINA offices sa buong bansa sa buwan ng Agosto at Setyembre.

Matatandaan na ayon sa pinakahuling ulat ng Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), nananatiling number one source of seafarers ang Pilipinas sa buong mundo, na may tinatayang 1.6 milyong Pilipinong marino.
