00:00Department of Transportation nakipagpulong sa mga may-ari at operators ng shipping companies sa Visayas.
00:05Kakulangan ng mga shipping crew na nakaka-apekto sa operasyon ng ilang kumpanya at tinalakay.
00:10Si Jesse Atienza sa detalye.
00:15Dumalo sa general meeting ng Philippine Coastwide Shipping Association
00:20si Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary for Maritime, La Sevilla Moore Ventura Plan
00:26para sa isang dayalogo patungkol sa mga pangunahing problema ang kinakaharap ng domestic shipping industry.
00:34I'm quite happy that they have invited me in order to clarify some things
00:39and in order also to know what are the issues and concerns that our shipping industry have right now.
00:45Dumalo rin sa pagpupulong ang mga opisyal ng Philippine Coast Guard at Maritime Industry Authority o Marina Region 7.
00:52Ang kakulangan ng tripulante at kapitan ng mga barko ang lumabas na pangunahing problema ng asosasyon.
01:00It is very severe now because it's more severe now because of the exodus of people going abroad.
01:10Yeah, and that's one.
01:12Another is new marina changes, a marina increase in money.
01:19Yeah, and so that those two, yeah.
01:24And instead of an emphasis on experience rather than being graduate, you know.
01:30So you have a situation where you have a nautical graduate who has few years experience
01:37and they want to certify them as OIC against a 10-year experience who is not a nautical graduate.
01:46We would rather go for the 10-year high school graduate.
01:50Ayon kay ASSEC Plan, idudulog niya ang problema sa mga kinauukulan para masolusyonan.
01:57Kamakailan lang, nakipagpulong din ang magbabalik na si Sen. Panfilo Lacson
02:01sa mga may-ari ng shipping companies at maging sa mga maritime students.
02:06Anya, dapat matulungan ang mga maritime students sa kanilang pag-aaral
02:10at mabigyan ang sapat na training ng makapagtrabaho ng naaayon sa maritime standards.
02:16Ang laki ng contribution na sa Philippine economy.
02:20Sabi mo ka kanina, pagsamasamahin mo lahat ng remittances ng OFWs natin,
02:2638 billion dollars.
02:28Ang share ng mga seafarers doon, nasa mga 8 to 9 billion.
02:32Ganon kalaki yung kanilang share.
02:34Kaya hindi natin dapat ininiglik.
02:36Government should give back to them in terms of their education, training,
02:42at saka po ano yung subsidy.
02:43Kasi if we have a free tertiary education act,
02:47patas na,
02:47why don't we give or afford the seafarers, the students,
02:52the same benefits or the same privilege?
02:54Kasi after all, they're giving back to us.
02:59Mula sa PTV Sabu, Jesse Atienza,
