MANILA, Philippines — The tides of change rose high at the AMOSUP Convention Hall in Intramuros as the ALMA Maritime Group gathered for a historic day dedicated to collaboration, compassion, and empowerment. The event brought together maritime leaders, advocates, and partners for a triple milestone: the Memorandum of Agreement Signing, a Mental Health Panel Discussion, and the Official Launch of “Women of ALMA.”

A Stronger Alliance for Seafarers
The MOA signing sealed renewed partnerships between ALMA Maritime Group and its stakeholders, strengthening cooperation to uplift the standards, welfare, and opportunities of Filipino seafarers.

Putting Mental Health on Deck

From addressing isolation to promoting emotional resilience, the discussion reinforced the call for sustainable support systems for maritime workers worldwide.

Women Take the Helm
