Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Inc., through the Talent Acquisition
Team, as represented by Capt. Ronald SJ Enrile, and Mr. Mike Esplago,
COO of Terp Asia-Pacific Ltd., signed a Memorandum of Agreement with
Negros Maritime College Foundation Inc. (NMCFI) President Dr. Zeth de
la Cruz Fopalan, for the free delivery of TERP Web Services and A-Books
to the maritime students of NMCFI.

A-Books, which will serve to enhance
the learning journey of students,
especially in the maritime field, are
not meant to substitute classroom
teaching but will act as a supplement
that gives students the opportunity to
take control of their own learning.
Accessing the A-Books will not be a
problem for students, even those
living in areas with poor internet
connectivity because A-Books can be
used offline.

“We at Negros Maritime College Foundation Inc. are very delighted to be chosen
by PTC to be one of its beneficiaries to use the A-books developed by TERP for
our maritime students,” said Dr. Zeth de la Cruz Fopalan. “Rest assured that the
A-books will be used by our students in their learning journey, especially those
who are from Mindanao, Bohol, Siquijor, and other nearby provinces where
internet connectivity is a serious challenge. Daghang Salamat PTC!”

Signed on September 7, the partnership between TERP Asia-Pacific Ltd. and PTC
aims to maximize the learning resources provided by TERP for maritime
students. Mr. Esplago added, “With the help of PTC, TERP believes that both
companies can achieve their common goals to help produce highly competent
maritime professionals.”

The mobile application will include tests and can generate data on the
individual’s level of knowledge that can be used for feedback not only for the
students but also for their teachers.

Capt. Enrile thanked both TERP and NMCFI for their support and cooperation and
said “Through the PTC Group and TERP’s technology we are able to give back to
maritime schools that made it possible for us to be Global Maritime
Professionals. We are looking forward to a more fruitful partnership.”
