Seafarers
and their families are invited to participate in the nationwide
activities for the 20th National Seafarers Day (NSD) on September 27, 2015
which include the Memorial at Sea, High Mass, Grand Parade, Oratorical/
Art/ Photo Contest, and Karaoke challenge.
Former president Fidel
V. Ramos earlier issued on July 9, 1996 Proclamation No. 828 declaring
August 18 as National Seafarers’ Day (NSD) wherein
the Apostleship of the Sea (AOS) was tasked to coordinate with the
public and private sector in activities related to the celebration of
said event. The purpose of the Proclamation is to give due recognition
to the vital role of Filipino seafarers towards the development of the
Philippines as a maritime country. Later, Proclamation No.1094 was
issued in 1997 by President Ramos which moved NSD during the last
Sunday of September every year.
