Excellence, both on and off the ship, is a hallmark of the dedicated seaman. Here at the MOL Magsaysay Maritime Academy (MMMA), we believe in recognizing and celebrating the relentless pursuit of knowledge that underpins effective seamanship. That’s why, during the morning colors held at the MMMA Gymnasium on March 10, 2025, a momentous occasion unfolded for our brightest minds.
The dean’s lister cadets of the first semester of A.Y. 2024-2025 were proudly awarded a prestigious gold star, a shining emblem recognizing their outstanding academic achievements. Their hard work, countless hours of study, and unwavering dedication to excellence have genuinely paid off, setting a “gold standard” for their peers. These are the future leaders of the maritime industry, the intelligent and capable marino who will navigate the world’s oceans with both skill and intellect.
The morning also held another significant event: the warm welcome of Japanese exchange students from Oshima College, Japan. This exchange symbolizes MMMA’s unwavering commitment to fostering international maritime excellence and strengthening the bonds between our academy and various esteemed Japanese maritime institutions. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our pinoy marino cadets to interact with and learn from their international counterparts, broadening their perspectives on global seamanship.
Congratulations once again to our exceptional students who have made the Dean’s List! Your hard work and dedication are an inspiration to us all. Keep reaching for the stars, continue to strive for knowledge, and embody the very best of what it means to be a modern seaman. The future of maritime excellence is bright with you at the helm!
