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
