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.
