PTC’s Sea Mariners team established its 6th ship at the
Sto. Rosario National High (SRNHS) School last October 17. SRNHS is the
first and only public secondary school in Pampanga offering the Maritime
strand under the Technical-Vocational and Livelihood Track.

The TVL- Maritime strand was established in 2018 through the collaborative
efforts of Deped Pampanga, Municipality of Minalin, Minalin Seafarer’s
Club, PTC’s Capt. Ronald SJ Enrile and the SRNHS administration.

A total of 30 Sea Mariners from SRNHS attended the Orientation
program conducted by PTC’s implementing partner Assist Asia.
The SRNHS Sea Mariners also got the chance to play the Master
of Disaster (MOD) Board Game as part of the orientation
program. The activity was made possible through the cooperation
of SRNH’s Mr. Raul Manlapaz, Principal Jayson Flores, PTA
President Rosetti Pingul, and Mr. Kenneth Navarro, RN, adviser
for the SRNHS Sea Mariners.

The 7th Sea Mariners
ship meanwhile was
established on October
18 as 25 junior and
senior high students of
Tanza National High
School (TNHS) in
Navotas City joined the
program.

The pilot members of the TNHS ship attended the Sea
Mariners orientation program and later learned about
disaster preparedness through the Master of Disaster (MOD)
Board game facilitated by PTC’s implementing partner ASSIST
Asia.

Making the initiative possible was the support of Mr. Oliver
Sanchez, TNHS school principal, and Mr. Mark Anthony
Decena, TNHS adviser.
