3 Superintendent s Message Republic of the Philippines Philippine Merchant Marine Academy San Narciso, Zambales T he Philippine Merchant Marine Academy s capability to advance and stay ahead of other maritime schools in the country for almost two centuries is in itself a great feat. Since its founding, the Academy s indomitable spirit refuses to rest in its continued commitment to provide competent officers to the international maritime industry. Always guided by our focus on excellence, we strive to adapt to the constant changes that happen around us, not just going with the flow, but soaring high above each and every challenge. It has been a fruitful 2014 for PMMA. We have met and exceeded our targeted Major Final Outputs (MFOs) in terms of number of graduates, both in the Higher and Advanced Education. Our performance in the licensure examinations administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is by far the best among other maritime schools, with our graduates gaining the top ranks in the licensure examinations, and a high passing percentage performance. Our Research and Development Department remains steadfast in producing new ideas that uplift the knowledge and understanding of our midshipmen, personnel and other agencies that may benefit from the exploratory studies. More visions are turning into realizations; more progresses are on their way, all to seal the covenant that the PMMA remains to be the best in delivering quality maritime education in the country. We have renovated significant structures, converted and improved facilities, procured additional equipment, all to ensure that we provide the best quality. Next year, we will be embarking again on new quests: to provide assessment services to qualify candidates for the deployment of highly competent, globally competitive Filipino maritime manpower. With the establishment of the Assessment Center in partnership with the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), we will once again show our resolute contribution to the maritime industry by providing impartial assessment services to candidates who aspire to be deployed in local and international vessels. Another challenge will be the migration of our Quality Management System from DNV standards to ISO 9001:2008. This means that our attention will focus not only on the quality and execution of maritime education, but to the establishment of a more holistic approach to quality management system as well. We will prove once again that no challenge can bring us down. We are one with the world in pursuing for excellence. We are focused at achieving another victory. We are steadfast in our purpose, to succeed with the challenges that the future awaits. We are compelled to be responsive with what the future brings. Take a look at what we have accomplished this It will encourage you even more to join us in our journey, the journey towards excellence! RADM RICHARD U RITUAL PMMA Superintendent

13 II. Academy Challenges Being part of an international, technological and multi-cultural industry that the maritime sector is, PMMA recognizes challenges as instruments that bring out the best strengths and abilities that are yet to be unleashed. Challenging its limits in order to tread even farther and better, overcoming these challenges and using them to PMMA s advantage makes life even more interesting and meaningful. 5

14 1. DNV to ISO Migration The Det Norske Veritas (DNV) is an internationally recognized certification body that provides accreditation of management systems in various sectors such as the maritime industry. The DNV Certification objectives ensure that the offered maritime education is properly designed, and complies, with the requirements in reference to the STCW. The Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA) in San Narciso, Zambales site as well as the Graduate School (G.S) and Training Center (T.C) in Manila Area hold the certification of Maritime Academies and Maritime Training Center in DNV Standards for the past years. The Quality Management System (QMS) of the Academy was based on DNV standards. In its commitment to continually improve the Quality of Service that it brings to the society, PMMA decided to shift its quality management system from DNV to ISO 9001:2008. This conclusion was reached in order to have a holistic approach in capturing quality, Aside from focusing on the quality and execution of maritime education, the need to ensure the establishment and implementation of process and procedures as a government maritime academy should also be addressed, thus the need to migrate to ISO 9001:2008 standards The application for ISO 9001:2008 was processed in two stages. The first stage of migration started last September 3, 2014 and the second stage was scheduled on January

15 2. SPMS Pilot Test The Civil Service Commission (CSC), being the central human resource management agency of the Philippines it is constitutionally mandated to promote morale, efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, progressive and courtesy in the civil service. In order to carry out its mandated function of formulating, administering and evaluating programs relative to the development and retention of qualified and competent public servants, the Commission requires each government agency to administer Performance Evaluation System (PES). The purpose of the PES is to improve the efficiency and organizational effectiveness of each employee. Having tried several systems to improve the performance evaluation/appraisal in the government, the only system that best links the individual performance and the agency s organizational vision, mission and strategic goals is the Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS). The SPMS is a tool that ensures that the goals are aligned to the Agency s mandate and organizational priorities. It is an output/outcome-based performance system that accounts the individuals to achieve the organizational goals. The CSC requires all agencies to pilot test the said system before 2014 ends. The Agency formed the Performance Management Team (PMT) to ensure that the budget, office performance targets and measures are aligned with the goals and objectives of the organization. The Academy s PMT conducted brainstorming meetings to establish the PMMA SPMS. There are also different stages considered in executing the SPMS Process properly. 7

16 3. PMMA Assessment Center PMMA is in the process of establishing an Assessment Center to provide quality assessments to seafarers in the maritime industry. It aims to upgrade the standards of the Filipino maritime manpower to ensure their competitive edge in the global market. The Assessment Center will house the most advanced equipment and facilities to ensure excellence, sufficient knowledge, skills and competence among merchant marine officers and crew to exhibit their proficiency in plying domestic and international maritime transportation and operations. 8

17 III. Major Final Outputs The Academy s quality education, training and services are crucial to the midshipmen/women s learning outcome. Through its academic programs and quasi-military training, PMMA helps the midshipmen/women to develop leadership and discipline and to enhance their physical, mental and spiritual growth. PMMA cultivates a sense of social and mental welfare, and a high sense of duty and responsibility to the midshipmen/women. Preparing them to be globally competitive and successful officers in their chosen field of endeavors. 9
