"For those who doesn't know how to remember history are bound to repeat the same mistake". I am comparing the superiority of the Philippine seafaring industry as the world leader in LABOR deployment of seafarers around the globe and the great civilization of the Roman Empire. Who will ever wonder that the greatest civilization in that era will fall and devastated by the barbarians. Eventhough they have already the most advance technology in agriculture, shipping,military, laws and medicine etc....
If our government will continue to be lame ducks in their government position, who doesn't protect the future and urgent needs of our seafarers, I would not wonder that we will lose our dominance in the supply of quality seafarers in the shipping industry in the future.One visible solution is to make the Philippine a "flag of choice", wherein one of the mandatory requirements is to make Filipino crews their priority in manning their vessels.

If the appointee will just be qualified and have the political will and determination to safeguard the maritime industry, I think we could be the preferred choice in that arena. However, I wish we will not be forever being the Flag of choice because based on studies; there are many disadvantages on the effect of migration to the stratum of family……. that is economically sound but decayed and dysfunctional family.
Who could be levelled Barbarians???
