Good day! I would like to ask if there's a chance that your good office will make amends on its 90-day rule over filing of application in Seafarer's Upgrading Program. At the height of pandemic, arranging and attending to any trainings held in Manila was restrained. Your consideration will be of great help in easing the financial strain of seafarers who have been gravely affected by lockdowns and loss of employment. I plan to avail this however it is already more than a year since my last arrival in the country.
