Press Release: New Filipino Seafarers To Get Seaman's Books For Free

Recognizing their role in the country's economic growth, first-time Filipino seafarers will be issued the seaman's book (seafarer's identification and record book) free of charge, following the approval of the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) board.

Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade made this announcement during a televised briefing with President Rodrigo Duterte on January 24.

"First-time applicants of the seaman's book will no longer pay P1,000 ($20) to P1,800 ($36) because it will be free," Tugade said, adding that the maritime authority also discounted the renewal fees of expiring seaman's books by 50 percent until December 2022.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
