“Filipinos are achievers
because they have the
ability, talent and
hunger for success.”

Eumir Marcial

PTC launched its Heroes Move the World Series last October 9 with
Eumir Marcial, Olympic bronze medalist for boxing.

The webinar series celebrates Filipino Excellence as exemplified by
outstanding Filipinos from various fields who will share stories of
challenges and triumphs in their journey towards success. The talks
aim to inspire and motivate PTC employees, Global Maritime
Professionals, and their families to continue to move the world in more
ways than one.

The talk was hosted by Ms. Normie
Hernandez, Family and Crew
Relations Manager, and was opened
with an invocation by Engr. Peter
Lugue, PTC AVP for Crewing
Operations. PTC Executive Director
for Corporate Public Policy, Risks and
Sustainability, Major General
Restituto Padilla, Jr. introduced
Eumir Marcial whom he noted also
serves as a Sergeant at the
Philippine Air Force.

“I have so much respect and admiration for our overseas Filipino workers
(OFWs) and seafarers. When I went to the US to train in preparation for the
Olympics, I realized how difficult it was to be away from my family for many
months,” Eumir shared. “I know that OFWs and seafarers have also chosen
to work outside the country because they too want to build a better life for
themselves and their families. For that, I salute them and hope that they
continue to strive to reach their goals.”

In his closing remarks, PTC COO
Edgar Milla thanked Eumir for
sharing his inspiring story with the
PTC community. The company
pledged its support for Eumir
Marcial’s Angat Atleta program to
help young Filipino athletes who
are also dreaming to make it big.
