Fun Under The Summer Sun:The Marlow Navigation Family Day

Summer is the perfect season to gather around, enjoy the summer sun and have fun. And what better way to show gratitude to a supportive group of individuals than give them a summer treat?

Marlow Navigation Philippines, Inc. - Cebu held their first-ever family day recently at a resort in Mactan Island, Cebu themed “One Family, Summer Get-together” – a way of thanking their seafarers and their families.

Present during the occasion was MNPI’s Operations Director, Captain Jimmy Oscar Ignacio who gave a talk during the morning program. “This is our little way of expressing our company’s gratitude for their continued support to the wishes of the company,” he said citing the purpose of the event.

Ignacio also assured immediate assistance and support to the families of their seafarers.

“The uniqueness of Marlow Navigation Philippines is that we are looking after the welfare of our seamen and their families. We would like to reiterate to our mighty sailors that their families are taken cared for and are well-supported while they are onboard,” said Engineer Wren Rey Villafuerte welcoming the seafarers and their families. “Furthermore, we wish that this event will strengthen our ties as part of the bigger MNPI family,” he added.

Also intended to foster camaraderie and friendship among seafarers and their families, the event showcased the talents of their children and other family members in a brief program held before lunch.

Fun games and prizes enliven the already-animated day and the blue skies and the perfect weather blessed the outing as attendees, especially children, enjoyed swimming at the resort’s semi-saltwater pools while parents and guardians engaged in talks.

Attended by about 30 families, the event turned out to be a success given the response of the attendees. “We are looking forward to seeing you all next year,” concluded Engr. Villafuerte, addressing the outing’s attendees.

Marlow Navigation Philippines deploys more than 6000 Filipino seafarers across the globe. Its Cebu office is at the second floor of Golden Success Academy Building, 1297 V. Rama corner Singson St., Guadalupe.
