Christmas came early for members of the PTC Sea Mariners Luzon ships namely: Sto. Rosario National High School (SRNHS), SOS Children's Village, Tanza National HS (TNHS), and Noveleta Junior High School (NJHS).
Last December 19, the Sea Mariners team organized two sessions of the "Basic Ship Familiarization" outdoor activity together for the participating ships. The activity was supported by the Philippine Center for Advanced Maritime Simulation and Training, Inc. (PHILCAMSAT).
Through this activity, the Sea Mariners Team aims to supplement the students' learning in the maritime industry through lectures and ship simulation. This is also an opportunity for the students to meet and greet executives of the PTC Group.
The morning session included 30 Sea Mariners from the SRNHS ship and 10 Sea Mariners from SOS ship. While 10 Sea Mariners from NJHS and 15 Sea Mariners from TNHS joined the afternoon session.
PTC CEO Gerardo A. Borromeo spoke to the cadets to discuss how they can become successful in their chosen field of expertise and career.
Mr. Borromeo also emphasized the important role of Filipino seafarers in nation-building and progress; and expressed his utmost support for and optimism about the Sea Mariners program.
Both sessions started with a lecture on Bridge and Engine Walkthrough from PHILCAMSAT, followed by a per batch visit to the ship simulation experience. This gave the Sea Mariners a sneak peek of what life is like on a ship.
Ambassador Carlos Salinas, PTC Founder and IMO Maritime Goodwill Ambassador, personally met with the participating students and congratulated them for starting their journey towards a future career in maritime. Members of the PTC Management team including Ms. Chris Manzano, Executive Managing Director; Ms. Beng Cristobel, COO for Shipping; Mr. Peter Lugue, VP for Crewing Operations; Capt. Stan Santiago, SIP-PEP Director, and Mr. Leslie Suntay, Head of Strategic Planning, Shipping Cluster, also welcomed the cadets.
