The Philippines is bent on preventing at all costs a decision by the European Union (EU) to withdraw certification rights for over 240,000 Filipino seafarers from vessels registered in any EU member state if it feels the level of training and non-compliance issues are still not addressed by the country.

                    [Summary] => 

A proposal to strip the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) of
responsibilities to perform the function of issuing STCW certificates is being
recommended so that the Philippines can comply with the requirements of the
revised Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW)
Convention.

Making the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ultimately accountable for
the question of STCW endorsement will also satisfy the International Maritime
Organization (IMO) in its search for the agency that will take the burden of
responsibility once problem arises over compliance

International Maritime Organization (IMO) has cast doubts on the role of the
Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) in the implementation of the revised
Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention since
the local shipping body has no control or involvement in the development of the
rules, supervision or revocation to enforce and issue this vital seafarers'
document.

Other than jointly issuing the endorsement together with the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC), the IMO questions Marina's authority to ensure if
PRC or any other agency involved in
