MARINO Partylist lauds President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. for including the seafaring sector and maritime industry in his priority advocacies in the APEC Summit in Thailand as he promotes seamless passage for Pinoy seafarers. 


“The Filipino seafarers are seen and recognized. President Marcos, Jr. believes in the potential of our seafarers to help boost the Philippine economy and we are happy that he is vocal in pushing for the development of the maritime industry, especially in the APEC Summit.” MARINO Rep. Sandro Gonzalez said.
