“This is a huge victory for the country,” CHED Chairman Prospero De Vera III said in a statement on Monday, April 3. “Now, after so many years, we finally get a note that our compliance efforts are recognized by the EU,” he added.
“EU’s assessment of the measures taken by the Philippines in relation to the findings of the European Maritime Safety Agency gained positive response, saying that Philippines’ measures demonstrated concrete progress and improvement regarding the compliance with the requirements of the STCW Convention,” De Vera explained.
Moreover, he noted that initiatives on curricular reforms, examination and assessment, shipboard training, and capacity-building training for CHED, MARINA, and Maritime HEIs were also undertaken. De Vera noted that the President also went to Brussels last December to “discuss the issue of Filipino seafarers with European authorities.”
