PMMA Breaks New Industry Grounds with 183rd Commencement Rites
PMMA Breaks New Industry Grounds with 183rd Commencement Rites
History-making has become a major facet of the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA) for the last 186 years of its existence. In its ceaseless quest for excellence in maritime education and training, the academy has unwaveringly kept its status as the premiere maritime school not only in the Philippines but also in Asia.
The academy’s 183rd Commencement Exercises held on June 9, 2006 was no exception as it became yet another opportunity for the PMMA to break new grounds in the maritime industry.
While ushering in properly-educated, well-trained as well as tried-and-tested maritime cadets to the industry has become a perennial accomplishment for the academy, PMMA booked another date with history with several new milestones during its most recent graduation ceremony.
Aptly carrying the theme “A Comprehensive Response to Globalization through Maritime Education and Technological Innovations,” the PMMA’s 183rd Commencement Exercises is the first in its rich history where a lady student emerged as the academy’s crème de la crème. Deck cadette Zulaika M. Calibjo finished on top of the PMMA Class 2006 as Magna Cum Laude in what was regarded as one of the most competitive academic races witnessed in the institution. Emerging as the class topnotcher, Calibjo barely edged deck cadet Rex B. Rabara, who also graduated Magna Cum Laude.
