TLC FIRST FRIDAY FORUM
Join Our TLC First Friday Forum on Beyond Remittances: How Are Our Seafarers Faring?
📊 In the Philippines today:
- 576,600 Filipino seafarers navigate the world's oceans—representing the largest source of skilled maritime workers worldwide and contributing to over 25% of the global merchant fleet (Philippine Overseas Employment Agency)
- Filipino seafarers demonstrate unwavering commitment to excellence, earning their professional maritime certifications through rigorous training, personal sacrifice, and countless hours away from loved ones (Maritime Industry Authority)
Our Filipino seafarers are valued professionals who represent our nation with pride on the world's oceans.
Join our conversation with Guest Speaker: Marissa Oca, Founder & President of Gregorio Oca Leadership and Development Foundation, Inc. (GOLD) and lifelong maritime welfare advocate, as we celebrate the resilience, expertise, and invaluable contributions of our seafarers who navigate the world's oceans. Let's honor their maritime excellence, recognize their sacrifices, and support their wellbeing as they continue to be the backbone of international commerce. ⚓
