This paper reviews the implementation of the STCW 78/95 in the Philippine MET including the effects of the revised 2010 Manila Amendments. It discussed the country’s maritime environment and the structures, quality of maritime education in the country and the effects on the maritime human resource. Among the various resolutions adopted at the conference, the standards of training and certifications, and promoting skills and competency will be more emphasized in this report. These will be compared with the existing curriculum mandated by CHED and upgrade STCW trainings advised by MTC for maritime institutions. A brief comparison and analysis with other Asian countries’ maritime training shall be offered. The recommendation pinpoints to the weaknesses of the present maritime regimes in certification and evaluation of maritime institutions. It concludes with the need to have mutually acceptable evaluation standards in view of developing a competent human resource for the future.
