Following the European Union’s decision to extend its recognition of Filipino seafarers, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said that she hopes that the threat of withdrawal will serve as a lesson that will help spur reforms and fix systemic issues in the industry.

“Thanks to the collaboration of the inter-agency task force, our mariners are somewhat ensured. I am also hopeful that serious reforms are being put in place,” she said.

According to the PCO, EU Transport Director-General Henrik Hololei told Marina administrator Hernani Fabia that the Union has assessed the actions taken by the Philippine government following its earlier warning.
