(Composed by: PHILIPPINE MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY BAND)
Words by: 1cl Nathaniel N. Villeno

Intro

(Stanza I)
Sa paglipas ng panahon
Patuloy na umaahon
Ang marinong Pinoy
Sa unos ng kahapon

(Stanza II)
Oh laking paghihirap
Ang kanyang dinadanas
Para lang may makita
Na maayos na bukas

Pre Chorus:
Ohh, di nyo lang nakikita
Ooh, di nyo lang nadarama

Chorus:
Dakila kang tunay Marinong Pilipino
Pinagkakapuri kita
Saludo kami sa iyo Marinong Pilipino
Taas noong nagpupugay

(Stanza III)
Di na niya alintana
Ang init ng araw
Ang lamig ng gabi
Di na rin nadarama

(Stanza IV)
Langis man o kalawang
Ang laging kapiling
Yan ay di ko pansin
Hindi hadlang sa hangarin

Pre Chorus
Lahat ay gagawin para lang sa kanya
Walang hadlang sa akin para lang sayo Sinta

Chorus 2
Oh ang tibay mo marinong Pilipino
Sadyang ika’y ibang-aba
Bayani kang tunay marinong Pilipino
Buong puso’y isisigaw

Solo
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Solo/Outro

Class 2006 Our Story? (The Immaculate Years) part 3

Class 2006 Our Story? (The Immaculate Years) part 3

Aside from the normal midterm and final examinations, the graduating class needed to undergo and pass the validating examination. With the eagerness to graduate, each member of the Class spent hours late at night and early in the morning to review. Validating examinations foretell jeopardy if not attended to properly. Many sacrificed by staying on board rather than going ashore.

It was during the first semester when all sections of both BSMT and BSME had their sea duty at SBMA to man seven crafts which was a part of our sea exposure and learning. Our juniors generally benefited since it was their first experience to stand a watch, perform duties onboard, as well as observe the maneuvering of vessels during operation.

After our validating exam results, a sense of accomplishment cheered our tired minds after days of unrest. We will finally graduate after all the long journey. we may now say with pride and honor, "we prevailed against the evils of this Odyssey". We are now officers!

And so, as times has watched us grow from young boys to experienced seaferers ready to conquer the open world ahead of us, we prepare to bid farewell to our Alma Mater. Leaving the lofty portals of the Academy is like leaving home. We learned a lot from its motherly hand and forever we will carry in our hearts the words Righteousness, Humility and Courage - our molding guide in our success.








Behold! One hundred and eighty two officers of CLASS 2006!
We will always and forever be PMMA'ers! brother...

Behold! The Fair wind and the sky so blue! let us sail far... far away towards the sun's brillant glow!!!


the end...

How Do I Love Thee?

How Do I Love Thee?

DEDICATED TO EVERY MARINER'S GIRL OF
CLASS 2006

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

-E.B. BROWNING

LUCKY IS THE MAN WHO WINS THE FIRST LOVE OF A WOMAN, BUT LUCKIER IS THE WOMAN WHO WINS THE LAST LOVE OF A PMMAer...

Class 2006 Our Story? (The Immaculate Years) part 2

Class 2006 Our Story? (The Immaculate Years) part 2

The saying, " To be a good leader, you must be a good follower"' holds true as we took command of the rest of the midshipmen. We were next to tactical officers. As the ruling class, the duty and responsibility of upholding the Academy's prestige and honor lay on our shoulders. We held positions of each committee and stood as Line Officers in the regiment of the Corps. The years when we were directed to just obey, obey and obey finally paid off.

Academic life became tougher and busier than in our junior years. The pressure was no longer in the battalion but within the four walls of the classroom. We now have all the time to study. Yet, the demands of both major and minor subjects clashed together, leaving limited hours to do other responsibilities for the Corps. Hence, "wise use of time" was one of our treasured mantras.

The activities for the year went smoothly as the months passed. We had our Acquaintance Party on September, semestral breaks in October, Valentines Party and Recognition Period, the year could not be complete without the civic and military parades.
