TRANSPORTATION Secretary Jaime Bautista urged the maritime industry to cultivate a unified front in the face of challenges hounding the shipping and territorial sovereignty of the country.

In his keynote address during the opening of the Blue Economy Annual Trade and Conference (Beacon) 2024 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, Bautista stressed the importance of dialogues in staying relevant to evolving issues. He emphasized, however, that efforts should go beyond talks.
