Senatorial candidate Antonio Trillanes urged Filipino seafarers to listen carefully to the whole and complete message of Vice President Leni Robredo to the maritime industry.
Trillanes said that Robredo’s plans are already “aligned with the industry’s navigational map”.
Robredo laid down her vision for the maritime sector by turning the Philippines into a maritime power by boosting the shipping sector.
“Ito ay ayon na rin sa consultative style ni VP Leni sa pagpanday ng mga mahahalagang polisiya,” Trillanes said.
“For me, her statement during her talk with leaders of the Filipino shipping industry is her official policy articulation, hindi ‘yung pineke sa TikTok or sa YouTube,” Trillanes said.
The former senator said that Robredo meant no disrespect to Pinoy seafarers contrary to the spliced clips in social media.
“Hindi tayo pwede malamangan ng mga seamen from Indonesia and India dahil mabilis na sila nakakahabol sa training. The troll farm that deems this as belittling or disrespecting our Pinoy Marino may have never known a relative or a neighbor who worked in an international vessel,” he added.
