Students at the Midway Colleges are now ready to use adaptive
learning materials, or “A-books,” that will help pave the path for
them to become global maritime professionals with the help of
PTC and TERP.

A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed by Mr. Sabino
Czar Manglicmot II, CEO of Midway Colleges Inc.; Capt. Ronald SJ
Enrile of PTC’s Talent Acquisition Team; Capt. Florencio Jampil, PTC
Business Development Director for Crewing and Shipmanagement;
and TERP Asia-Pacific Ltd. COO Mr. Mike Esplago to officially begin
the initiative.

First established in 1988, Midway Colleges is a pioneer of maritime
education in Nueva Ecija, and offers educational programs on
maritime, entrepreneurship, information systems, and technical
teacher education.

During the MOA signing last December 20, 2022, Mr. Sabino Czar
Manglicmot II, Midway Colleges Inc. CEO said, ” The effects of the
pandemic were very serious, especially in the education sector,
where students are struggling to have the right resources to learn
in school. Even though our areas do have good internet
connections, we still have a lot of students residing in remote
areas of Nueva Ecija. That alone is a hindrance to our student’s
learning, especially during a pandemic. But I am confident that
through this partnership, students will be able to learn and still be
academically competent.”

Capt. Enrile in turn said, “As part of PTC’s advocacy, we work with
many organizations to help maritime students as much as we can.
We are glad that, through our partnership with TERP, we are able
to share the resources that will help the students continue their
learning journey. And we are happy that Midway Colleges is also
committed to using the A-Books in your programs so that we can
all help the students achieve their dreams, not only for themselves
but for their families as well.”
