Capt. Ronald SJ Enrile, President of the Ship Managers Association of the Philippines (SMAP) and Senior Adviser to the PTC Shipping Cluster, attended the 10th edition of the Philippine Marine Expo (PhilMarine) 2025 as one of the distinguished VIP guests on June 18, 2025, at the SMX Convention Center Manila.

PhilMarine 2025 remains the country's largest and most internationally recognized maritime exhibition. This year's event was co-located with Oil & Gas Philippines 2025, Naval Defense Philippine Expo 2025, and the 2nd Offshore Wind Asia Expo & Conference 2025, under the theme "Anchored in Excellence: The New Era of Philippine Maritime Innovation." PhilMarine also recognized the SMAP for successfully organizing the conference segment of the expo, which brought together a high-level assembly of ship owners, regulators, ship managers, and seafarers.

The conference served as a vital platform for dialogue on key industry issues, regulatory updates, and the evolving needs of the global maritime workforce. "We are honored to take part in an event that continuously drives collaboration and innovation, "said Capt. Enrile. "The presence of industry leaders and advocates, particularly in forums organized by SMAP, ensures that we address the real and pressing challenges faced by the maritime industry."
