The MOL Magsaysay Maritime Academy (MMMA) recently hosted a significant “Dining-In” event for MMMA Cadets from Batch 2022 “AKARIOSSS” at the MMMA Gymnasium. This special evening brought together the Academy President, representatives from MOL and Magsaysay Maritime Corporation (MMC), Formation Officers, and other esteemed academy staff.
The event was specifically designed to help cadets practice proper table manners, social etiquette, and formal dining behavior. These are crucial skills for aspiring marinong pinoy and future maritime professionals, ensuring they are well-prepared for diverse social and professional settings beyond the ship’s bridge. Beyond etiquette, it was also a celebratory occasion, marking a significant milestone in their demanding academy journey as their launching ceremony approaches.
Wearing their finest uniforms and formal attire, the MMMA Cadets exemplified respect, confidence, and professionalism throughout the evening. The program included a full-course meal and heartfelt messages of encouragement from the distinguished guests, whose presence further enriched the event.
This memorable Fine Dining night underscored that MMMA‘s commitment extends beyond technical maritime training. It prepares cadets not just for a job, but for life, equipping them with the comprehensive skills and refined demeanor necessary to lead with distinction on the high seas and represent the marinong pinoy with dignity.
