Anchored in a dream, sailing with purpose: AMOSUP at 65
It began with a man, a dream and a prayer.
Captain Gregorio S. Oca, a shipmaster with a heart full of hope, once asked to be God’s instrument in sharing love, mercy, care and compassion toward Filipino seafarers and their families. That prayer was answered in 1960, when he founded the Associated Marine Officers’ and Seamen’s Union of the Philippines (AMOSUP). From that singular act of faith and vision grew a movement—one that would transform the lives of thousands of maritime workers and reshape the landscape of Filipino seafaring.
DMW chief hails AMOSUP’s legacy of tripartism and seafarer advocacy
“It’s always all about tripartism, social dialogue, and stakeholder partnership.”
These words, once shared with former POEA Administrator Hans Cacdac by the late Capt. Gregorio Oca, continue to resonate deeply across the maritime sector. At the 65th anniversary celebration of the Associated Marine Officers’ and Seamen’s Union of the Philippines (AMOSUP), Secretary Cacdac—now head of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW)—reaffirmed the enduring power and significance of this tripartite framework in shaping the lives of Filipino seafarers.
We, in our commitment to provide not only internationally accepted terms and conditions of employment on board vessels covered with AMOSUP CBAs, has institutionalized socio-welfare programs to service members and their dependents.
