Training System in the
Philippines
Introduction
The Philippines is a major supplier of certified
seafarers in the international seaborne trade,
providing more than 25% of the crew that
manage, operate and support the labor
requirements of international marine vessels.
1 2/2/15 The STCW Convention 1978 as amended in
1995 and in 2010 made a large impact on MET
systems in the Philippines.
Competency based learning is implemented
European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) is
ensuring that the Philippine Maritime Education and
Training complies with STCW Convention and Code
as amended.
Since 2006 - 2013, EMSA made series of audit
inspection as part of the regular reassessment as
well as follow up inspection and found series of
serious deficiencies.
As a result, Republic Act No. 10635 made and
approved on March, 2014 this will give Maritime
Industry Authority (MARINA) the authorithy to have a
close monitoring of the MET Systems.
2 2/2/15 Maritime Higher Education Institution (MHEI) is
monitored and evaluated by CHED and
MARINA to determine compliance with STCW
On-going authorized programs are regularly
monitored and those found to be non-compliant
are ordered for immediate closure or phase out.
International attention is now focused on the
capacity of the Philippines to continuously
supply competent seafarers who meet the
STCW as amended in 2010.
