(NAR) VOL. 21 NO.2 APRIL - JUNE 2010
[ POEA ADVISORY NO. 09, S. OF 2010, March 30, 2010 ]
THE ANTI-PIRACY AWARENESS SEMINAR
To effectively monitor the implementation of Memorandum Circular No. 02, series of 2010, we wish to make the following clarifications:
1. The Anti-Piracy Awareness Seminar shall only be taken once and prior to the deployment of seafarers. Seafarers who have attended the mandatory anti-piracy awareness seminar upon the implementation of the Circular shall no longer be required to take another seminar every time they leave for overseas assignment.
2. The certificate of attendance to the anti-piracy awareness seminar issued by manning agencies to their seafarers has no expiration date and shall remain valid from the time it was issued.
3. Certificates of Attendance shall no longer be required for contract processing. However, all manning agencies shall submit a monthly report of their seafarers who attended the seminar to sbprocessing@poea.gov.ph indicating their date of attendance.
4. The Anti-Piracy Awareness Seminar shall be conducted in-house by manning agencies for their departing seafarers. Manning agencies which do not have in-house seminar facilities may avail of the seminar provided by other manning agencies whose module has been approved by POEA. The POEA has not acknowledged the anti-piracy seminar module of training centers.
For the information and compliance by all concerned.
