CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 2013

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, Pandiman would like to lead the way in directing our Organization in advocating and aiming to assist members of our community who find it hard to advocate for themselves.

AID FOR TYPHOON YOLANDA

     

To help the survivors restore their livelihood, Pandiman Philippines Inc. and its sister company Survey Specialists, Inc., have donated two (2) motorized fishing boats with outriggers through a non-government organization, Negrense Volunteers for Change Foundation, Inc. for the fishermen of Northern Panay and Negros Occidental who lost their boats to typhoon Yolanda. Pandiman will also support the project of adopt-a-school in Eastern Visayas.

ONE WORLD SCHOOL 

     

Pandiman commend the people from One World School for pursuing the vision of creating the kind of school which recognizes the potential of Children of All Abilities and applaud their efforts in seeing this vision through to the reality that is One World School. There is a dearth of schools such as One World School, both here in the Philippines and, indeed, around the world. It is with pleasure that Pandiman donated an interactive playground for the One World School.

  • Nickel Ore Shipments from the Philippines 2020

    Nickel ore is used for the production of stainless steel and more recently a surging market, batteries for electric cars and is very much a part of modern life. China is the largest importer and the Philippines provides up to 30 million wmt (wet metric tonne) of this demand a year.

  • ALON 2 (12th Nov 2019) Alleged Unfair Dismissal Cases

    The issue of a potential unfair dismissal is always a lively one and there are no short cuts to getting it right. Over the
    years we have seen too many where one could easily reason the dismissal was fair, however unless the allegation is a strong one and falls under Section 33 of the POEA contract as a grave abuse with endangerment to the vessel or the lives of those onboard, then immediate dismissal is difficult.

    It is important and is of great interest to the Manning Industry to share information on decisions rendered by the Supreme Court’s Report Annotated (SCRAA) which becomes jurisprudence or the law of the land.  A more effective medium containing the details of a case handled by our twelve (12) retained lawyers would be our website and through our ALON updates.  We hope you find the following of interest.
