SABANGAN II<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>International standards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Philippine government officials lauded the venture, which, they said, signaled the Philippines\u2019 compliance with international standards for maritime higher education.<\/p>\n\n<p>Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said he was \u201cimpressed\u201d by the school housing a \u201cship on campus,\u201d a student complex, academic buildings and dormitories on a 13.7-hectare property in this city.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sen. Grace Poe, one of the inaugural guests, said MMMA was \u201cprobably the best school in Asia now\u201d offering a bachelor\u2019s degree in marine transportation and marine engineering.<\/p>\n\n<p>Magsaysay Group president Doris Ho said the company and MOL, whose partnership spanned over two decades, had invested P2 billion to build MMMA.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>One of largest blocks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The ship on campus looks like a real ship, with an engine room, electronic laboratory, distress and safety systems, and radar plotting capacities that \u201csimulate the work environment of life at sea,\u201d said Magsaysay People Resources Corp. president Marlon Ro\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n<p>The school features the latest in Norwegian maritime technology.<\/p>\n\n<p>With 380,000 to 400,000 seafarers deployed around the globe, Filipinos make up one of the \u201csingle, largest nationality block[s]\u201d of seafarers, Poe said.<\/p>\n\n<p>She said seafarers contributed P5.9 billion of the P28 billion total remittance of overseas Filipino workers last year.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Philippines is currently the second-largest supplier of maritime crew in the world, after China, according to Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) Administrator Rey Leonardo Guerrero.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2017, Guerrero said, about 25,000 students completed the seafarers\u2019 academic requirements, but only 5,000 got employed.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to just be No. 1 [in workforce] but No. 1 in competencies [as well],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Tugade said the government was trying to lighten the burden of seafarers by cutting the processing time of seaman\u2019s books to one day from \u201cweeks to months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Marina now offers coffee and biscuits to seafarers waiting in long lines as their seaman\u2019s books are being processed, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Japanese-Philippine business collaboration
