ONE OF OUR FELLOW BRAVO COMPANION AND CADET AT FOSCON APPROACH US WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AND THE ADMIN STAFF AT HIS COMPANY | 20 March 2026
According to our fellow cadet at Foscon, on the morning of March 19, he met the Admin Staff on the stairs going to the third floor and asked him why he had been absent for a few days and had a hand on his chest. He was shocked by what the staff did. The Foscon Admin staff was very angry while talking to him. He also said that someone who was also a fellow cadet saw him while the cadet and the Admin staff were fighting. His fellow cadet asked him if he was okay and why the Admin Staff scolded him, but he could not answer his fellow cadet’s question. He said he went downstairs and quickly went to his department where his cellphone was and immediately called his parent to tell them what had happened to him and the Foscon Admin Staff.
CAN FOSCON ADMIN STAFF OR ANY STAFF MAY HURT THE CADET?
According to the regulations of the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) of the Philippines, company administrative staff are strictly prohibited from harming cadets in any way, whether physically, emotionally, or psychologically.
MARINA emphasizes the welfare and safety of cadets. For example, MARINA Advisory No. 2020-11 mandates that shipping companies must ensure cadets’ safety and meet occupational safety and health standards as per the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006. Additionally, companies are required to incorporate cadet training activities into their Safety Management System (SMS) to ensure proper supervision and protection.
Moreover, MARINA aligns with broader international and national laws that prohibit abuse, harassment, or any form of harm to individuals in training or employment settings. Any violation can result in disciplinary actions against the responsible staff and penalties for the company, including possible suspension or revocation of relevant licenses or certifications.
