Dec 2010 Manila Party in the Park Executive Director: Roger Harris 15 7th Issue PRESS RELEASE Over 1400 seafarers with their wives and children, as well as members of the Filipino and International shipping community packed into the Luneta Seafarers Center in Luneta Park, Manila on Saturday 26 June for the first international Party in the Park organised by the International Committee on Seafarers Welfare (ICSW). ICSW launched the Party to celebrate the IMO-designated “Year of the Seafarer”. It also neatly coincided with the designation by the IMO Diplomatic Conference, which met in Manila from 21-25 June, of Friday 25 June as the annual “Day of the Seafarer”. Speaking after the event, the ICSW Executive Director, Roger Harris, said: “We had several clear objectives for the Party: to celebrate the “Year of the Seafarer”, to promote seafarers welfare worldwide, to involve the families as well as the seafarers themselves and to have fun! The Party was a tremendous success and way beyond our expectations.” Over 350 seafarers’ wives and children attended the Party from the AMOSUP Seafarers Village and they provided cultural dancing, children’s games, face painting, book reading and a magician to keep the crowd and, in particular the children, entertained throughout the event. Other events, in an all-action programme, included team games, song and dance routines from the cadets of the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific on the theme of “Go to Sea”, and music provided by the Navy band and Marlow Navigation. The main sponsors for the event were BW Shipping, Marlow Navigation, Teekay Shipping, Wallem Shipmanagement, and PhilTrust Bank. Costa Cruises and Videotel were also sponsors as well as and National Bank of the Philippines. In addition, the Women of Wallem (WOW) sponsored the prizes in the children’s games, the GIG Foundation provided generous assistance to the Seafarers Village Wives Association, as did Informatica, and Keymax Maritime who sponsored a karaoke machine. A major attraction at the Party was a series of raffles for attractive prizes held throughout the event. The International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) donated prizes of a laptop and gift vouchers which were drawn first. The next raffles comprised prizes donated to ICSW for the event by Marlow Navigation, Trans Global Maritime, Wallem Shipmanagement, Pandiman and PandiPhil consisting of washing machines, a TV, laptops and mobile phones.
7th Issue Dec 2010 Speeches of welcome during the event were made by Dani Appave the senior maritime specialist at the ILO, and Koji Sekimozu, Director Maritime Safety Division of IMO. In addition, the former IMO Secretary General, Bill O’Neil, was in attendance as well as representatives of supporting organisations such as Graham Young of ITF, Natalie Shaw of ISF, and Father Victor Labao, National Director of the Apostleship of the Sea in the Philippines. In conclusion, Roger Harris said: “After the success of the Party, everyone seems to be asking what ICSW will be doing next. Our next major event will be the presentation of the International Seafarers Welfare Awards at the IMO on 1 December 2010. We also have a very exciting programme of other activities aimed solely to help our members to provide the very best standard of health, safety and welfare for seafarers. We may be back next year.” 16
