Finding maritime in the 2nd SONA

IN his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) last year, nothing was mentioned by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. (BBM) relating to the maritime industry.

In his second SONA, maritime stakeholders are encouraged with a direct reference to Filipino seafarers, at least. One notes that even if there was no hint of maritime in his SONA this year, there is always a reason to believe sea transport will play a prominent part in all the targets BBM mentioned.
