Associated Philippine Seafarers Union - APSU

15/05/2026

The Associated Philippine Seafarers’ Union (APSU) celebrated its 42nd Founding Anniversary through an afternoon of solidarity, fellowship, and meaningful celebration together with ALU employees and officers.

The celebration began with inspiring welcome remarks from Sir Gerard R. Seno, the National Executive Vice President of ALU/APSU, followed by a meaningful solidarity message from Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito Mendoza and a message of support from Doctor Mokitz Mendoza, NVP of the Health Services Division — reminding everyone of APSU’s enduring commitment to Filipino workers and seafarers.

One of the highlights of the celebration was the APSU Quiz Bee, where employees enthusiastically tested their knowledge about APSU’s history, milestones, and advocacies. The energy, teamwork, and laughter carried throughout the luncheon truly made the celebration memorable for everyone.

The program concluded with a heartfelt message of gratitude from Atty. Generick Humprey V. Morales, APSU NVP for Operations, thanking all employees, officers, and partners for their continued commitment and support in advancing the welfare of Filipino seafarers and workers.

Here’s to 42 years of service, solidarity, and continuing the fight for the welfare and dignity of Filipino seafarers and workers!

For 42 years, the Associated Philippine Seafarers Union (APSU) has stood as a strong and united voice for Filipino seafarers — championing workers’ rights, dignity, welfare, and solidarity across oceans and generations. ⚓💙

As we celebrate our 42nd Founding Anniversary, we honor the sacrifices, courage, and unwavering commitment of every seafarer and union member who continues to keep the maritime industry moving while standing firm for justice and decent work.

This milestone is not only a celebration of our history, but also a renewed commitment to strengthen unionism, empower workers, and build a future where every Filipino seafarer is protected, respected, and heard.

42 years of service.
42 years of solidarity.
42 years of fighting for seafarers.

Solidarity Forever! ✊⚓

“The thoughts of everyone in the ITF and all maritime unions worldwide will be with those who have lost their lives in this tragedy - as well as the families and friends they have left behind - those who are still missing, and those being treated in hospital," said Generick Morales, Vice Chair of the ITF’s Ferry Task Force, from ITF affiliate Associated Philippine Seafarers Union - APSU.
"Our deepest thanks go out to the search and rescue crews of the Philippine Coast Guard who have rescued more than 300 survivors. We await what must be a thorough investigation into this tragedy, so we know that everything possible is done to make sure such a disaster never happens again.”
