                    [Summary] => 

President Estrada has called for "harmonization" and "clearer lines of
accountability" among agencies implementing the revised Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping Convention (STCW) Convention for seafarers in
the country's bid to make it to the 'white list' of complying states.

The Philippine's inclusion in the white list, which would assure the continued
employment of more than 200,000 Filipino seafarers, has dominated the issues
confronting the country's lucrative manning industry due to conflict in
issuance of endorsement certificates.

                    [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
