The Maritime League President Admiral Eduardo Ma. R. Santos called on the newly installed Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista last 2-September-2022 at the CAAP Compound, Pasay City. He led some of the League’s board members including Vice Admirals Emilio Marayag Jr and Edmundo Tan, Rear Admiral Margarito Sanchez Jr, former DOTr Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya, Lieutenant Christian Chua, Jay Agustin, and
former DOTC Undersecretary Chris Abanes.

Secretary Bautista gladly received the group with some of his senior staff. Among the salient topics raised were compliance with IMO guidelines, significant projects, interactions with other government agencies and the League’s interface with the department on maritime matters.

At the end of the visit, Secretary Bautista accepted the League’s honorary chairmanship and lifetime membership while his Undersecretary for Maritime Affairs Elmer Francisco Sarmiento was conferred the honorary membership certificate. DOTr Secretary Bautista was accompanied by his special assistant retired PBGen Alfredo De Vera and prospective Assistant Secretary Atty Julius Yano.
