In celebration of the Day of the Seafarer 2025, Jebsen PTC paid tribute to its Global Maritime Professionals (GMPs), our modern-day heroes at sea, through a day of meaningful activities, engaging discussions, and special treats.

The celebration began with a Holy Mass officiated by Fr. Rolvin D’Mello, SDB, offering a moment of reflection and gratitude for the invaluable contributions of seafarers around the world.

This was followed by a learning session aligned with this year’s IMO theme, "My Harassment-Free Ship." Entitled Building a Culture of Respect at Sea, the session was facilitated by James Estrada, JPMI Fleet Head for UMMS, and Hector Brizuela, Program Manager for Pipeline Engagement at TAG. They emphasized the importance of respect, inclusion, and teamwork onboard to help eliminate harassment and ensure a safe and supportive working environment for all.

GMPs also took part in the signing of a commitment wall, symbolizing their personal pledge to uphold a culture of respect and maintain harassment-free ships.

The celebration culminated in a fun-filled program with exciting raffle prizes, including Alon Concert tickets and an overnight stay with breakfast for two at the Makati Diamond Hotel. Throughout the day, visiting seafarers at the Jebsen PTC Head Office enjoyed complimentary donuts and coffee in the morning, free lunch, and ice cream in the afternoon as tokens of appreciation.

Satellite offices in Cebu and Iloilo joined in the celebration by giving away shirts, tote bags, mugs, and caps, ensuring that GMPs across the country felt recognized and valued.
