Major maritime stakeholders have asked President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to immediately revoke an order from the Philippine Ports Authority imposing an additional container monitoring system in current port operations.Seventeen groups representing key areas of the maritime industry have joined forces in an urgent open letter to the President, which was published in a major daily on Monday, Jan.
“The PPA fails to consider that the ultimate victims of these additional costs is the ordinary Filipino consumer, who is already bleeding from an inflation rate of 8.1 percent,” they pointed out. Among those who signed the open letter were Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry In. President George T. Barcelon, Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. , and President Dr. Henry Lim Bon Liong, and Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. .
It warned that “PPA’s failure to analyze the impact of TOPS-CRMS and coordinate with stakeholders could lead to a repeat of the 2014 port congestion fiasco.”
