We lead and excel: the Lacsonian legacy.

Deck Cadet Elijah Jose C. Barrios of Polaris 4A was recognized by the Western Union (WU) as one of the 2014 Ten Outstanding Maritime Students of the Philippines (TOMSP) during the 19th National Seafarers’ Day (NSD) Celebration held at Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Malate, Manila last September 28.

“Thy will be done,” said D/C Barrios. “I don’t ask of what I have right now. I just let the people, who see the best in me, give that opportunity to prove myself. And if that opportunity comes in front of me, I do all my best to give justice to the challenge I have accepted.”

For four consecutive years, John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University –

Arevalo (Jblfmu-A) never fails to fill the TOMSP spots since alumni Rizaldie A. Zambra Jr. and Steven Ryan P. Arillo in 2011, Mark Collin P. Solas and Daniel T. Tumadiang in 2012 and Khenan John S. Suarez in 2013.

Furthermore, 93 nominees were adjudged according to their academic performances, extra-curricular activities, community services, leadership involvements and significant contributions in the seafaring industry.

On the other hand, WU wants to payback to seafarers for their contributions in the world economy, as such, the awardees have a separate awarding ceremony exclusive for the company at Diamond Hotel, Roxas Boulevard, Manila the next day, September 29.

“In fact, two schools had two grand prize winners – John B. Lacson Foundati on Mariti me University – Arevalo (take note, this is a school for seafarers). Another was…”

This was an excerpt from an arti cle in the Everyone’s Vision Petron Folio 2014 emphasizing that even a mariti me school can compete in the arena of media arts.

Deck Cadet Titus Ira J. Adayon and Mdpn. John Christi an D. Guevarra of Polaris 4B and 2A respecti vely captured the recogniti on as two of the six grand prize winners of the Everyone’s Vision Petron Nati onal Student Art Competi ti on Colored Photography category.

“To serve as a training ground for future leaders to exercise proper legislation and procedures in doing so and encourage the involvement of youth on the current issues concerning the country.”

This rationale drove four students of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime

John B. Lacson Foundati on Mariti me University-Arevalo (Jblfmu-A) never ceases to amaze mariti me world as three cadets reaped awards during the Students’ Day of the 19th Nati onal Seafarers’ Day (NSD) Celebrati on at Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Malate Manila last September 29.

Three deck cadets of Polaris 4A bagged awards: Elijah Jose C. Barrios clutched the 1st place and Joem Paul S. Nemiada clasped the 2nd on the Photography contest while Mark Emmille Badoy heaved 1st place on the Oratorical Contest.

Lacsonians clinch NSD ‘14 awardstake and always live with the legacy of leading and excelling,” says D/C Barrios.

Att y. Lorna D. Gellada, university administrator and Mr. Charles Von Alava were with the parti cipants during the event.

This year’s NSD theme was “Marinong Pilipino: Haligi ng Pagbabago.”

S. Amido of Cruiser 3A and Christi an Joebon M. Monserate of Polaris 2B propelled their sails to the Philippine Senate, Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) Building, Pasay City last September 13 – 14 to att end the congress.

“PMC offered us a facet in which we could express our opinions and views on what the Philippine society should be. As a youth, we have perceived many ideas and solutions to aid our country. Furthermore, we were also able to represent the maritime sector of our society and air our concerns with respect to the maritime field,” D/C Fernandez stated.

The two-day aff air involved a plenary and committ ee session in which they were given a power in proposing bills whereas once approved by the whole youth congress, these will be directed and opened for deliberati on and approval.

“This congress served as a stepping stone of the youth to act on the issues concerning the environment and the country. Somehow, I felt that I have done my part as a leader,” D/C Fernandez added.

The kind that creates a pool of doubts and questi ons. The kind that aims to improve the mariti me industry.

With this eff ort of the government, how will it aff ect Filipino seafarers who consti tute two-thirds of the world’s seafaring populati on?

Republic Act (R.A.) No. 10635 establishes Marina as the single mariti me administrati on for the implementati on and enforcement of the 1978 Internati onal Conventi on on Standards of Training, Certi fi cati on, and Watchkeeping (STCW) for seafarers.

It will assume all the powers and functi ons of the Philippine Regulatory Commission (PRC), Commission on Higher Educati on (CHED), Technical Educati on and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Department of Health (DOH) and Nati onal Telecommunicati ons Commission (NTC).

The implementi ng rules and regulati ons (IRR) of R.A. 10635 must be issued within six months of its eff ecti vity. The IRR must be issued not later than September this year. If there are things that need to be reviewed, revised or fi nalized, the most is by December.

Marina and all other agencies concerned are expected to move together in coherence, to achieve swift and healthy transiti on.

Evidently, the government has been pursuant towards reforming the mariti me industry in the Philippines. The improvement on Marina will greatly benefi t Filipino seafarers. It will become a one-stop shop catering all our needs, but the transiti on may be too swift to handle.

papel’ or ‘sipsip’ in the administrati on.He should give everyone equal rights

and privileges and off er no room for being biased and discriminati on just because the student is not under his radar or good side. He should not tell interested and willing (not menti oning talented and trained) individuals (especially students) ‘I hope you understand’ he is not ‘close’ or not at par with the students’ adviser.

In our insti tuti on, the rott en fruit should be thrown out. Person(s) who pretend to have the insti tuti on’s best interest at heart (which is not actually his real goal) should be fi red because he is wasti ng the money that the insti tuti on is paying him-money that should be put into use for hiring a bett er coordinator, with the insti tuti on’s best interest at heart (for real).

But the most important thing is, the person whose only goal is to ‘mapalapad papel and mapa-sipsip’ to the administrati on should be kicked out so that he would not contaminate and corrupt the good values insti lled by the insti tuti on.

Through (and only by) this, our insti tuti on is ensured that it is really producing world-class, professional and globally competi ti ve seafarers.

to climb the ladder of this school. I climbed this far. It is not a very good view to stare at. It is someti mes sickening to think of these people. Somehow, for unknown reasons, I am starti ng to adapt their behavior. But there is stopping to it.

We’ve got some serious clean up to do. We have to rebuild those friendships we have compromised for selfi sh gains. We have to restore our human dignity and spit that self-damaging pride. Aft erall, if we lose our integrity and swallow our ideals and principles, then who will we be at the end of the day? I am afraid, we will become people we will no longer recognize.

The society might have taken concrete measures to rehabilitate Yolanda’s damages but the aft ermath goes creeping under the cracks of Captain John B. Lacson’s bust. I am uncertain when it will end. Maybe when the next Yolanda comes. I am afraid, maybe not.

oordinati on is one of the most important factors that aff ect the stability of an organizati on or an insti tuti on. Being a coordinator is one great responsibility. You have to balance your emoti ons so as to show your professionalism in dealing with your work.

An organizati on or insti tuti on could not exist without coordinati on, and no organizati on or insti tuti on is without a coordinator.

The role coordinators play in our university could create a dramati c impact on the lives of the students. Furthermore, a coordinator should respect boundaries. We understand that every coordinator has their own fi eld of experti se. One should not overstep his boundaries. He should be a model for respect, professionalism and leadership.

As a coordinator, it is your responsibility

to coordinate not only with the students but with your fellow coordinators in order to achieve a healthy working environment. It is also necessary so that you could make a fi t learning environment for the students that look up to you. However, some coordinator(s) do not take their real work seriously.

Having him is like having a rott en fruit in our insti tuti on. He will conti nue to contaminate the minds and acti ons as well as the values of the Lacsonian youth. Having him around will destroy what our founder has insti lled. He will destroy those around him.

A good coordinator should think of his subordinates’ welfare. He should not think about increasing his stature or social standing within the school. He should not show or administer what we would call ‘mapalapad

ndeed, Yolanda is a name to remember. The chaos it brought to Western Visayas was beyond our expectati ons. Major rehabilitati ons have been made by the goverment and Non-Governmental Organizati ons (NGOs) but her eff ects are sti ll deeply felt, unconsciously.

The devastati on triggered Filipinos’ creati vity in surviving. Indeed, it was a test of ti me. But some Lacsonians learned from it the other way around --- the kind which needs acknowledgement and improvement.

Due to hunger and extreme scarcity, Filipinos looted relief goods. Some Lacsonians act this way.

Due to hunger of power of others and discipline they impose, we learn to be creati ve on how to evade punishments. Yes, we someti mes hide ourselves behind offi ces and lock out. We are like rugrats sneaking on a peep hole just to make sure that our next move will not be deadly.

On Yolanda’s aft ermath, some individuals claimed the credits. They were Supermen who saved the world.

Seemingly, some of them entered our portals. They keep on making miracles and show off their magic powers. There are a few

who are amazed but others see the loopholes behind the tricks. Beware Superman, somebody might be secretly putti ng Kryptonite under your very light chair.

The other thing which was not ti mely during the typhoon was the hoarding of goods. Politi cs got in the way.

Unfortunately, the practi ce went on in this insti tuti on. Politi cs got in the way. If you are near the laddle, most probably, your stomach will be full. For some opportuniti es are kept. Check on the stocks, some might be rott en already.

Since it is politi cs, there is a necessity to build allies. Thus, the creati on of Justi ce League. They run the world and get the system running. The one you thought your friend might be someone else’s intelligence. This ti me, to trust is the hardest thing to do.

at hahanap ng madadaluyan hanggang sa maipon sa iisang lugar.

Pangalawa ay ang outlet o ang labasan ng tubig na dapat ayusin. Kung ito ay nakakonekta sa dagat, dapat ti yaking hindi nakalebel ang tubig sa outlet. Sa tuwing magkakaroon ng highti de, ang mga karagatan sa Iloilo ay umaangat ng dalawang metro mula water level. Kapag magka-lebel ang outlet at ang tubig-alat ay hindi makalabas ang tubig mula sa drainage. Ito ang dahilan ng pagkakaroon ng baha o ang pag-apaw ng tubig sa mga inlet.

Malimit sana ang pagbaha kung ang drainage ay palagiang maayos na ini-inspeksyon at pinapanati ling malinis ang daluyan ng tubig. Kapag hindi pa rin malunas-lunasan ng paglilinis ay kinakailangan na nati ng lahat na magtulung-tulungan.

Isa sa mga solusyong nakikita ay i-angat o i-elevate ang mga lugar na kadalasang binabaha. It’s bett er to wear 6 inch heels sa tuwing umuulan.

Ikagagalak ng aking puso’t isipan kung ang problemang ito ay malulunasan at ng wala nang estudyanteng mag-uuwing nangangamoy ang mga paa. We aim to promote Quality, Safety, Health and Environment pa naman.

Hindi batayan ang pagiging isang kadete sa ROTC o kadete ng CWTS upang maging isang disiplinadong marino. Sa huli tayong lahat ay magkakapantay sa mata ng paaralan at mata ng mundo.

Samantala, ang pagkakaroon ng mga hambubukad sa insti tusyong ito ay hindi nagpapahiwati g ng kawalan ng disiplina at kaliksihan bilang mga marino. Dahil dito, tayo ay sinasanay na maging ganap at kahanga-hangang marino para sa hinaharap. Bukod diyan, napabilang sa Core Values ng unibersidad na ito ang Excellence at Discipline, na kung saan, kinikintal sa ati ng mga isipan ang kahalagahan ng disiplina bilang isang marino.

Sa kabila ng mga panlalait at diskriminasyon ng iba, ang paaralang ito ay mananati ling isang matatag na pundasyon. Isang pundasyon na magsusuplay ng mga pulidong marino sa ngayong henerasyon.

Dahil dito sa John B… we promote equality... hindi ba?

AALALA (nakasalalay ang iyong buhay). Kapag umuulan ihanda ang kahit alin sa mga sumusunod: Immersion Suit, salbabida, Self-contained breathing apparatus at sagwan, kung ikaw ay eksperto sa paglangoy, malaya kang lumangoy sa kahit anong stroke.

Sa tatlong taon kong pamamalagi sa insti tusyong ito ay hindi ko maikakaila ang mga natamo nitong kaunlaran at maging ang pagpapanati li ng kalinisan. Ako at ang mga kapwa ko mag-aaral ay hinubog din ng panahon. Sama-sama kaming dumanas ng malambot na kirot ng tag-init, nagpahalik sa bawat dampi ng tubig alat, lumusong at nagbabad sa bawat lawang nabuo sa gitna ng insti tusyong ti nutukoy ko.

Sa tuwing papatak ang ulan, kulang na

no ka, Agila? Siling nila ang mga taga-John B mga John Gay? ”

Ito’y iilan lamang sa mga maaanghang na salita ng aming mga instruktor sa huling araw ng aming Basic Training sa Guimaras. Ang mga salitang iyon, kahit na pabirong sinabi ay mistulang diskriminasyon sa ati ng unibersidad. Lumalabas na yaring mga ‘John gay’ ay kulapol sa insti tusyon, waring mga dungis o bati k na kailangang ihiwalay sa mga pulidong marino.

Sa pagpasok ko sa insti tusyong ito, aking nakasalamuha ang iba’t ibang uri ng tao. May mga siga na animo’y pagmamay-ari nila ang kalawakan, may mga ubod ng kasipagan kung kaya’t pasok sa dean’s list, at meron ding mga estudyante na minsan lang kung pumasok. Sa paaralang ito, dominante ang mga kalalakihan, may kakaunti ng kababaihan, at may ilan na masasabing lubad ang kulay o hambubukad o mas kilala bilang mga ‘binabae’.

Sa katunayan, isa itong unibersidad na displinado at ‘semi-military-in-style’, ngunit hindi mawawala ang katauhan ng pagiging binabae. Ang iba’y nilaladlad ang kani-kanilang mga kapa. Ngunit may iilan naman na nagtatago pa sa panabihan o closet; marahil ay dahil sa takot at pangamba, takot na baka mawalan ng oportunidad sa edukasyon,

lang ang alon at konti ng budbod ng asin ay magiging dagat na ang paaralan. Wala naman kaming pagpipilian kundi ang lumusong at magbabad ng aming mga paa sa umaapaw na tubig mula sa drainage ng paaralan. Dahil dito hindi rin maiiwasan na ang aming kalusugan ay maapektuhan. Posibleng magkaroon kami ng iba’t ibang sakit mula rito gaya ng: magkaka-athlete’s foot o kaya nama’y alipunga.

Ang kadalasang pagbaha sa ati ng paaralan ay dahil sa mga iba’t ibang sanhi na nauugnay sa hindi magandang drainage system o sistema ng pinagdadaluyan ng tubig. Isa rito ang mahinang konstruksyon ng mga kanal. Kapag umuulan, hindi makadaloy nang maayos ang tubig dahil sa mga bumabarang mga plasti k at kung anu-ano pang solid materials. Dahil dito, ang tubig ay hahanap

propesyon, at buhay; pangamba sa mga darati ng pang mga pagkakataon.

Halimbawa rito ay ang kwalipikasyon ng ilang kompanya sa pagkuha ng kani-kanilang mga kadete. Ang ilang kompanya ay kumukuha ng mga kadeteng may dugong nananalaytay ang katapangan o sa maikling salita ay tunay na lalaki. Tulad na lamang ng isang kompanyang aking nasaksihan sa pagkuha ng mga kadete kung saan sinusuri nila kung tunay ngang lalaki ang isang kadete o hindi. Ito ay sa pamamagitan ng mga acti on tests o pagsubok sa pagkilos.

Isa sa mga batayan nila na ang aplikante ay dapat gradweyt ng ROTC o Reserve Offi cers Training Corps. Dahil dito, hinuhubog na maging isang disiplinado at magiti ng na marino ang isang kadete. Isang patunay ang sinabi ng dekano ng unibersidad sa unang araw ng klase noong nakaraang taon sa aming seksyon na mas pinipili ng ilang kompanya ang mga kadeteng sumailalim sa ROTC program.
