Polaris Marine Deck Officer Familiarization Centre
From Junior Officer until I reached Master Mariner, I have been searching for an officer or a training center that will teach me my duties and responsibilities on my desired position so that I may have the self confidence to grab any opportunities of promotion even a direct/on the spot promotion that I am seeking. I found none. I had to rely on sheer GUTS (LAKAS NG LOOB).
When I was the Master of M.V. Klirak on 2005, I sent home my foreign Third Mate due to incompetence. To substitute him, I promoted my OS with Third Mate license. To my surprise, the OS was also unable to take the responsibilities of a Third Mate.
I had no choice but to teach the OS. It was then that the thought came to my mind: familiarization can be taught on-shore. Thus, the "Familiarization for Third Mate" was born.
After 2 weeks of teaching, my 3rd Mate was already competent to carry out his duties and responsibilities perfectly to my satisfaction. I have put into writing all the topics and sequence of the familiarization.
My Second Mate noticed the sudden improvement of the performance of our newly promoted 3rd mate and suggested that I design a similar course that will cover the job of the 2nd Mate, too. Hence, the "Familiarization for Chart Work" was born.
When I was on vacation in 2006, I decided to found and establish "Polaris Junior Marine Deck Officer Familiarization Centre" in Meycauayan, Bulacan. I started marketing the Course for Third Mate and Second Mate as my past time during my vacation. At that time all Courses were FREE OF CHARGE since I was still assessing the effectiveness of the Course. The results were overwhelming. I received very good feedback from those who finished the Familiarization Courses for 3rd Mate and 2nd Mate.
In mid-2006, I embarked again and this time I tried to teach EVERYTHING to my Chief Officer. This time, I was already practicing the best approach to making him understand easily the Master’s responsibilities. From this, I drafted the "Familiarization for Master Mariner".
Lastly, I realized it would be better to have a Familiarization Course that will teach the whole operation and its practical applications according to the type of vessel, and not as a general instruction (Familiarization for Cargo Officer).
My dream is to share what I know to Deck Officers and help them reach what I have reached.
This is our commitment in Polaris Centre, this is our vocation.

a lone goal is what it takes for nopsscea to edge the young but feisty
iloprisaa footballer.
the game ended goalless in the regulation but 3 minutes before
extension time expires, nopsscea netted a lone goal to claim the

Philippine
Shipping Updates – Manning Industry

This issue contains the following:
Notes: Various issuances of the POEA and the
Department of Transportation and Communication
Crew Liabilities of Shipowners when vessel is laid up
Q & A on NLRC Garnishment / Execution
-------------------
Notes
New POEA requirement: To
monitor the effects of the global economic crises and its effect on
employment of Filipino seafarers, each licensed manning agency is required
to make a weekly report to the POEA on the status of their vessel enrolment
and crew orders. This will enable the POEA to generate timely and
adequate measures to address the crisis. (POEA Memo Circular 124-08 dated
December 2, 2008).
The POEA will review its rules
and regulations early this year and is soliciting comments from the manning
industry. Such comments must be submitted no later than January 30,
2009. (POEA Memo Circular 002-09 dated January 7, 2009).
The review of the POEA Standard
Employment Contract is still continuing. Several meetings are still
to be held.
The Department of Transportation
and Communication, Office for Transportation Security has issued on a Ship
Security Advisory for Philippine registered vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden. The advisory is to ensure the
security and safety of the vessel, her crew and cargo. Those with interest
in Philippine registered vessels should read the advisory. (DOTC Ship
Security Advisory No. 3 dated December 18, 2008)
56 Filipino seafarers are still
held by pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
Crew
Liabilities of Shipowners when vessel is laid up
What are the liabilities of ship owners when the vessel
is laid up? Under Section 23 of the POEA Standard Employment Contract, the
seafarer shall be entitled to receive the following:
Earned
wages;
Repatriation
at the ship owners’ expense; and
One (1)
month basic wage as termination pay UNLESS arrangements have been made
for the seafarer to join another vessel belonging to the same
principal to complete his contract in which case the seafarer shall be
entitled to basic wages until the date of joining the other vessel..
Manning agents have no obligation to notify the POEA
regarding termination of a seafarer’s employment due to lay-up unless
the lay-up will result in the delisting of the ship from the enrolled
vessels of the manning agent.
Q & A on NLRC Garnishment / Execution
After the motion for
reconsideration is denied by the NLRC Commission, the decision which is
unfavourable to the employer becomes “final and
executory”. This means that the employer must satisfy the
judgment amount or face garnishment of his assets. However, the
employer still has the right to file a petition for certiorari with the
Court of Appeals to question the “final and executory” decision
of the NLRC Commission. The below Q & A explains in simple terms
the Philippine law on the issue.
What is execution and garnishment?
Execution is the process of
putting into effect the final judgment of the NLRC. The process starts with
a motion to issue a writ of execution and ends when the NLRC sheriff
satisfies the writ thru garnishment.
.
Garnishment is the means of
obtaining satisfaction of the final judgment by taking possession of the
property or money of the losing party. If the manning agent is a
party to the case, its money or property may be garnished.
When can the NLRC decision be executed?
The NLRC decision can be
executed when the decision becomes final and executory. This
generally happens when the motion for reconsideration on the decision of
the NLRC Commission is resolved. The decision becomes final and
executory after ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the resolution.
(Section 14, Rule VII of the 2005 NLRC Revised Rules of Procedure)
How can execution of the NLRC decision be
stopped?
Execution can generally be stopped by filing a petition
for certiorari with the Court of Appeals. Said petition must ask for
the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) or injunction to stop
the NLRC from execution of the decision. The NLRC respects the TRO or
injunction issued by the Court of Appeals.
If the NLRC decision is considered final
and executory, why can the Court of Appeals still issue a TRO or injunction
to stop execution?
The Court of Appeals can still
stop the execution as another set of rules, the Rules of Court, recognizes
that if a quasi-judicial agency such as the NLRC acted “without or in
excess of its jurisdiction or acted with grave abuse of discretion”,
the Court of Appeals is allowed to intervene. (Section 1, Rule 65 of the
Rules of Court).
In fact, the NLRC itself
recognizes that the NLRC final judgment may be elevated to the Court of
Appeals via a Petition for Certiorari. (Section 10 Rule XI of the 2005 NLRC
Revised Rules of Procedure)
Is it easy to obtain a TRO or injunction
from the Court of Appeals?
It is not easy to obtain a TRO
or injunction from the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals
generally respects the decision of the lower tribunal, board or
quasi-judicial agency such as the NLRC. The appeal must show that the
NLRC acted “without or in excess of its jurisdiction or acted with
grave abuse of discretion.”
Are there other ways of stopping execution?
Not really.
While it is possible to file an
opposition to the Motion for Issuance of a Writ of Execution, the NLRC
Rules state that said writ may be issued by the Labor Arbiter motu propio
or on his own without need of action by the winning party. The effect
of such opposition is to delay the issuance of the writ and hopefully a TRO
or injunction will be issued by the Court of Appeals.
While the NLRC Rules also allow
a Motion to Quash the Writ of Execution before the NLRC Commission, the
said motion generally becomes moot as the writ, once issued, is immediately
executed by the NLRC court sheriff.
What is judicial courtesy and why is it no
longer practiced by the NLRC?
It used to be that the NLRC does
not execute a decision out of “judicial courtesy”. This
mean that out of respect for the higher court, the NLRC waits for the Court
of Appeals decision before it executes. Unfortunately, this policy of
“judicial courtesy” has been abandoned by the NLRC. The
reason appears to be the fact that the Labor Code is clear that the NLRC
decision is final and executory.
Assuming the decision is satisfied thru the
execution process and the decision is reversed in the upper courts, can the
employer ask for the return of the executed funds?
In theory, the answer is
yes. However, the court process to collect the funds is quite lengthy
(years) and there is no assurance that the funds still exist in the name of
the employee.
What can be done to change the execution
process?
Aside from changing the law, the
NLRC can promulgate rules to make the process “more equitable”
for the employer. Aside from “judicial courtesy”, the
manning organizations have proposed the use of “escrow
accounts’ and/or use of “bonds” to guarantee the employee
can collect in case the decision is upheld by the upper courts on appeal.

2008 is a great sporting year for JBLFMU. Finally winning two major
sports events in addition to swimming and other minors awards is a new
milestone for this infant university.
After several attempts, finally JBLFMU coveted the ILOPRISAA basketball
championship crown. For the sporting fans of JBLFMU this a dream come
true, and the song "For the First Time" becomes a new anthem for them.
Donking Sasuman (Coach) and Dr. James Montehermoso (Manager) finally
vindicated their two succesive failed attempts by winning this
championship crown.
In addition to basketball sucess, is another rare feat for the football
team, winning the ILOPRISSAA Football back to back crown.
This two major events sweetened the success of JBLFMU Swimming Team,
the perennial winner of local and Regional Sports meet in Westen
Visayas.

Tennis, Sepak Takraw and Chess.
Conratulations to JBLFMU community and supporters.!

Congratulations!
A first half goal by Sabid plus another second half penalty were all it
need to secure the the inter-collegiate football crown.
JBLFMU footballers blanked WIT 2-0 to add another championship crown to
their list of championship titles.
Team captain Paolo Suner suspension seems had no effect and did not
stop the team from dominating the opponent in the entire match.
Suner served a one-game suspension when he was red carded in their
match with CPU.
The success of the team was made possible through the support of the
entire JBLFMU community.
The ISAA crown was not yet meant for JBLFMU Basketball team, but
anytime soon surelyJohn B. will.
John B. dribblewrs played all their hearts but lost to UI wildcats.
Anyhow, the runner-up finish will earn them a trip to the Visayas
Cluster of National Collegiate basketball in Bacolod City. UI and
JBLFMU will represent Iloilo in the said tournament.
