Abstract
The Philippines, being an archipelagic state, relies heavily on its maritime industry as its source of income and provider of job opportunities to its own citizens. In this regard, the government has always placed an importance in enacting laws which could help in the development of such industry. And for the longest time, the Philippine cabotage system had been restricted only to Filipino citizens, until the enactment of Republic Act 10668.
With the aim of assisting importers and exporters to be competitive in the international trade and to lower the shipping costs of import and export cargoes from Philippine ports to international ports and vice-versa, Republic Act 10668 or the Foreign Ships Co-Loading Act of 2015 was signed into law. The legislature allowed foreign vessels co-load from other foreign vessels import and export cargoes to and from a Philippine port of entry to the final Philippine port of destination.
The legislature, however, indirectly circumvented the exclusivity guaranteed to Filipino citizens to operate public utilities. Resultantly, RA 10668 provided undue advantage to foreign vessel operators, in discrimination of its domestic counterparts.
This thesis aims to provide concrete bases to revisit the co-loading provisions of RA 10668 for its perceived illegality in allowing foreign carriers to operate on Philippine waters.
