Resignation of MARINA Administrator denied

I t now can be told : MARINA Administrator CE Marcial Q . Amaro III is here to stay and head the agency .

This is in the light of reports that the MARINA Administrator has officially resigned , following speculation from people from the industry subsector who are out to destabilize the agency by dragging Amaro ’ s name in the mud .
Beneath those destabilizing moves , Amaro has been respected in the maritime sector for his achievements that has put more order and system to MARINA since he assumed his post a few months ago . Amaro , himself a seasoned seafarer and educator , has been very busy initiating the much-needed reforms bent to enhance competitiveness of our seafarers and to reposition the Philippines as a top maritime nation in tandem with ASEAN economic integration . His reforms include weeding out corruption practices within and outside MARINA to better serve the industry and to do away with all those tedious processes that have long been hampering professionals in the maritime sector , particularly seafarers .
