NMP Annual Report 2011 2

REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE 

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 

The National Maritime Polytechnic, thirty-three (33) years since its creation, has once again looked into and 

evaluated its existence, leading towards its recent adoption of the Blue Ocean Strategy as a guiding principle 

in setting future directions. Created on May 1, 1978 by virtue of Presidential Decree 1369, the NMP became 

an attached agency of the Department of Labor and Employment in 1987 with the signing of Executive 

Order 126. Since its creation, it has faced the challenge of excellence in the delivery of public service given 

the constraints common to all government agencies, such as limited resources, bureaucratic policies and 

processes and unstable political environment. Despite these, however, the NMP managed to raise its torch 

high and bright for the Filipino seafarers, rising above hurdles and growing to become the only governmentowned 

premier maritime training, research and assessment center in the country. 

Looking back on the underlying principles that spurred the creation of the NMP in the first place, the provision 

of maritime training and research, reaffirms the Agency’s relevance at present times. This, as well as 

the dynamism of the industry in which the NMP moves, is taken into consideration in its current stance of 

navigating towards the blue ocean. To survive and flourish in an increasingly ever-changing market, at 

the core of the blue ocean strategy is innovation in all aspects, with primacy on value innovation. Indeed, 

as the NMP navigates into the blue ocean, it will work for the continual improvement of its core services 

in anticipation of imminent changes while discovering new ways to be truly relevant and responsive to the 

industry it serves. It will be mindful of critical issues facing the industry to include, among others, the 

recurrent shortage of management level officers, compliance with the 2010 STCW Manila Amendments, 

ratification of the Maritime Labor Convention 2006, escalation of piracy at sea, and lack of technical resources 

of government regulatory bodies to implement standards on maritime training and assessment. 

All these while staying on course to the basic fact that the betterment of the Filipino seafarer will always be 

the ultimate reason for the NMP’s creation and continuing existence. Consistent with its first mandate, which 

is to train globally competitive seafarers, the Agency once again maintained its excellent performance in 

maritime training with a total of 19,346 certificates issued to merchant marine officers and ratings, cadets, 

maritime faculty, trainers and other personnel in the maritime industry. This represents a remarkable 

accomplishment 

2011 Annual 

of 104% from 

Report 

the original annual target of 18,634. 

Significant progress was similarly made in the area of maritime research with three (3) studies and two 

(2) proposals completed as of yearend. True to its second mandate on the conduct of research, NMP’s 

work on this hugely important aspect takes off from the dynamic characteristics of the industry and the 

resulting demand for timely, accurate, and informed data as basis for program and policy development. For 

the year, the studies on 1) Supply of and Demand for Filipino Seafarers; 2) Decent Work in the Maritime 

Industry: Focus on Filipino Seafarers On Board Domestic Vessels; and 3) Challenges Facing the Welfare of 

Filipino Seafarers—An Analysis of Current Welfare Services vis-a-vis Seafarers’ Needs all recorded 100% 

accomplishment. It is worth noting that the latter was completed through a research collaboration with 

the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and the Associated Marine Officers and Seamen’s Union of 

the Philippines. Similarly, in the case of the second research, the assistance of the Philippine Coast Guard 

became highly instrumental in the speedy completion of its data gathering activities. 

With regards to administration and finance, another significant accomplishment is the solid financial results 

posted as of yearend. Worth noting is the Agency’s total generated income of P37.1M, an impressive 

14.5% increase from the P32.2M revenues in 2010. Again, because of the NMP’s efficient budget spending 

performance, the Agency has sustained the budget flexibility granted by the DBM since 2003. Another 

healthy indicator is fund utilization with a total obligated amount of P103.2M, equivalent to 97% of the total 

allotment of 106.5M. 



All these accomplishments, 

ultimately, are rooted on 

adding value to the services of 

the NMP. Navigating towards 

the blue ocean is about value 

innovation, and this occurs 

only when organizations align 

innovation with utility, price 

and cost positions. It is about 

strategy that embraces the 

entire system of the NMP’s 

activities. It requires the NMP 

to orient the whole system 

towards achieving a “leap” in 

value for both its clientele and 

the organization. In navigating 

towards the blue ocean, we 

are proud to initiate such 

improvements in 2011. Among 

these is the development of 

new courses that address the 

requirements of the 2010 STCW 

Manila Amendments, such as 

the Basic Training for Oil and 

Chemical Tanker Operations and 

Security Awareness Training, 

completed in cooperation with 


the Maritime Training Council. 

Also worth noting is the 

initial implementation of the 

Practical Assessment Center 

for Officers in partnership with 

the Professional Regulation 

Commission. Special attention 

was likewise given to the 

implementation of the National 

Assessment Center with the MTC. Structurally, the revision of nomenclatures no longer attuned with current 

policies and procedures in the bureaucracy, organizational structure, and staffing pattern were all given due 

focus. 

We, at the NMP, will always improve, innovate, seek new ways in discovering unknown territories to exhaust 

all possibilities for the betterment of the Filipino seafarer. We invite you to join us as we venture, with faith 

and optimism, towards the blue ocean. Mabuhay at maraming salamat!

Officer-in-Charge—Executive Director 


Navigating Towards the Blue Ocean 

MARITIME TRAINING SERVICES 

As the sole government maritime training center 

in the country, the NMP vigorously conducted in 

2011 training courses for merchant marine officers, 

ratings, cadets, maritime instructors and other 

personnel in the industry. The NMP caters its training 

services to clients from all over the Philippines. 

As an International Standards Organization (ISO) 

certificated institution, NMP’s training course 

offerings are developed and implemented under a 

Quality Management System (QMS). 

CONDUCT OF MARITIME TRAINING 

The NMP exceeded in 2011 by 3% its annual 

seafarers/ trainees trained of 8,756 and surpassed 

by 10% the previous year’s output of 7,953. Going 

by monthly performance showed May as the peak 

month with the highest number of seafarers/ 

trainees trained. This is accountable to special 

classes conducted for courses such as 1) Ratings 

Forming Part of Engineering Watch; 2) Safety, 

Medical and Security Courses; and 3) MARPOL 

Annexes III, IV, V, VI. 


The total number of 19, 346 certificates issued to 

trainees in 2011 surpassed the annual target of 

18,634 translating into a 104% accomplishment. 

Compared with the performance output in 2010, 

there is an increase of 1.5% in 2011. Among the 

training courses, the Safety, Medical and Security 

Courses have the highest performance output of 

10,802 certificates or 56% of entire accomplishment. 

CONDUCT OF COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT 

As the only TESDA-accredited Assessment Center 

for deck and engine ratings in the region, the 

NMP conducts performance and revalidation 

assessments. For the year, a total of 1,091 qualified 

ratings were assessed and endorsed to TESDA for 

issuance of Certificate of Competency (COC). 

Beginning January 2011, the Competency 

Assessment for Officers was implemented. A total of 

eighty-one (81) qualified merchant marine officers 

were assessed and endorsed to the Professional 

Regulation Commission (PRC) for having successfully 

passed the written and practical assessment for 

officers as one of the requirements for issuance of 

COC for officers and updating of license. 

Also beginning July 2011, the NMP was recognized to 

conduct Assessment for the Issuance of Certificate 

of Proficiency by the Maritime Training Council 

(MTC). In this respect, a total of 1,840 qualified 

seafarer-applicants both on-site and walk-in were 

assessed and endorsed by the NMP for the issuance 

of COP. 

20,000 

Certificates Issued 

CY 2009-2011 


For the first time in years, the total batches conducted 

of 954 in 2011 exceeded the target for the period of 

917 or equivalent to a 104% accomplishment. Of 

this number, 934 were conducted in Tacloban while 

the 20 were in Manila. Included in the total number 

are nine (9) offsite batches conducted in different 

venues in the country. Again, May proved to be 

the highest performing month in terms of batches 

conducted due to the offering of Consolidated 

MARPOL. There were also special batches conducted 

on courses such as 1) Ratings Forming Part of 

Navigational Watch, 2) Gender Sensitivity Training, 

3) Training Program for Instructors Conducting 

Simulator-based Training and the 4) Anti-Piracy 

Course.

COURSE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT 

To ensure relevance and responsiveness of the 

NMP’s training programs, existing courses were 

reviewed and revised to address maritime industry 

needs in consonance with international and national 

developments. For the year, the review of five 

(5) courses was completed. These included 1) 

Radar Navigation, Radar Plotting and Use of ARPA, 

2) Electronic Chart Display Information System 

(ECDIS), 3) Ratings Forming Part of Navigational 

Watch, 4) Ship Simulator and Bridge Teamwork 

with BRM and 5) Basic Safety Training for Motorboat 

Handlers/ Operators and Fishermen. 


The revision of five (5) courses was also completed: 

1) Operational Use of ECDIS, 2) General 

Operators Course for Global Maritime Distress and 

Safety System, 3) Personal Safety and Social 

Responsibility, 4) Radar Navigation, Radar Plotting 

and Use of Automatic Radar Plotting Aid, and 5) 

Medical Emergency First Aid. 

Moving towards the establishment of the NMP as a 

laboratory center for the design and development 

of maritime training courses that will be adopted 

by the industry, in collaboration with the MTC, two 

(2) new training courses were developed and pilot 

tested. These included the following: 

Basic Training for Oil Tankers and Chemical 

Tanker Cargo Operations 

The course aims to provide marine officers, ratings 

and would-be seafarers of the required knowledge, 

understanding and proficiency requirements to 

comply with the Manila Amendment to the Convention 

and Code of the STCW 1978 as amended. These 

requirements pertain to responsibilities on loading, 

care in transit, discharging or transfer of cargo, 

tank cleaning or other cargo-related and equipment 

operations on board tankers. 

In addition to the amended STCW requirements, this 

course was also developed taking into consideration 

that seafarers who work on board oil and chemical 

tankers need to keep abreast with other latest 

developments in the tanker shipping industry, as 

provided in the updates of the International Safety 

Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT) and 

the Tanker Safety Guide (Chemicals), the basic 

references of the tanker shipping industry in terms 

of oil and chemicals, respectively, which keep track 

of the changes in vessel design, operating practices, 

latest technology and regulations. 

To ensure the effective and efficient delivery of 

the course in accordance with the NMP’s approved 

policies and procedures, pilot-testing of the course 

was done last November 22-30, 2011 with 13 

participants. 

Security Awareness Training 

The course aims to impart the mandatory minimum 

standard of competence in the 1978 International 

Convention on Standards of Training Certification 

and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, as amended, 

for knowledge, understanding and proficiency of 

masters, officers, ratings and would-be seafarers 

without designated security duties in connection 

with a Ship Security Plan (SSP) to enhance ship 

security in accordance with the requirements of 

Chapter XI-2 SOLAS 74 as amended, the ISPS code 

and section A-VI/6-4 of the STCW Code. 



TOWARDS BECOMING A MARITIME FACULTY DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY: 

A Look at NMP’s Offering of the Training Course for Instructors 

As the government’s premier training center 

for maritime manpower and in pursuit of the 

Agency’s thrust of establishing a Maritime Faculty 

Development Academy, the NMP continuously 

assists the academe and private training centers 

in upgrading the knowledge and skills of maritime 

instructors, assessors, supervisors, and course 

developers. 

The 10-day Training Course for Instructors or the 

IMO Model Course 6.09 is intended to provide 

participants the techniques in planning and preparing 

for an effective teaching and instruction; selection 

of appropriate methods of instruction; preparation 

of instructional materials; and evaluation of the 

teaching and learning process. 

After taking 6.09 at the NMP, Capt. Eddie Gamale of 

Othello Micomar Shipping expressed a strong surge 

of confidence to face challenges that lay ahead, as he 

feels fully equipped with the knowledge gained from 

training. He looks forward to apply the techniques 

he learned when he teaches his crew on board ship. 

Also, Captain Emerico B. Gepilino of Sea Crest 

Marine Services Inc. shared the same confidence. 

He said he had walked into the NMP’s ‘boot camp‘ 

as a raw instructor yet will depart as a competent 

and ‘polished‘ instructor. Chief Engineer Jose Ramir 

D. Delantar. 2011 Jr. Annual of Hanseatic Report Shipping Phils., Inc. 

added, “As we continue our journeys towards 

finding true passion in teaching; wherever we may 

be drifted by the waves of opportunity and wind of 

chance, may we all be reminded that we were once 

here together at the National Maritime Polytechnic 

shaping our vision for a better nation.‘ 

Capt. Gamale, Capt. Gepilino and Chief Engineer 

Delantar are among the 2,241 total trainees that 

completed 6.09 in the NMP. It is worth noting that 

there was sustained growth in the offering of the 

course from an initial two batches in 1996 to 18 

batches in 2011. 

IMO Model Course 6.09 Implemented 

The offering of the Training Course for Instructors 

saw its beginnings way back in 1996 when the 

NMP conducted a series of professional seminarworkshops 

to provide information and recommend 

guidelines on the amended International Convention 

on Standards of Training, Certification and 

Watchkeeping’s (STCW) mandatory requirements. 

This exercise had the ultimate goal of revising the 

training courses offered that time by the NMP using 

the IMO model course format. 

It can be recalled that the revised STCW was 

calendared to come into force by February 1997. 

To implement the amended convention, especially 

on the training aspect, there arose the urgent need 

to review and revise the contents and procedures 

related to education and training. Consequently, 

there was also the necessity to look into specific 

training activities including methods, media delivery, 

course materials, all with the targeted end result of 

achieving the prescribed standard competence. 

Ms. Presca Lee B. Lugo, one of NMP’s Lead Trainers 

for 6.09 since 1998, was among the understudies 

during that time. She recounts, “Another trainer, 

Dennis Tan and myself completed three (3) phases 


The two-week Training Course for Instructors adopts a seminar-workshop method where discussions 

are followed by individual and group exercises requiring trainees’ active participation. 


Engr. Ronnie D. Gernato, one of the NMP’s lead trainers for the conduct of Training Course for Instructors, 

engages trainees with discussions on latest IMO updates in conformance with STCW requirements for 

an improved maritime education, training and assessment system. 

done in Tacloban, Cavite and Cagayan. We sat as 

understudies under Capt. George Pimentel, Mr. 

Wenifredo Sola and the late Mrs. Ellen Serrano. 

With their supervision, we conducted the Pilot Class 

here in Tacloban in October 1996. ” 

“We continued conducting the course in cooperation 

with the Philippine Association of Maritime 

Institutions, Inc. in 1997. Professor Dennis Tan and 

I, along with three (3) other NMP faculty, Engr. Leo 

Gegajo, Atty. Ruben Maceda and Professor Remedios 

Cagulada worked for accreditation in 1998,” Ms. 

Lugo 

2011 

expounds. 

Annual Report 

Currently, Lead Trainers for NMP’s TCI include Ms. 

Lugo and Engr. Ronnie D. Gernato, both Assistant 

Professors with specialization in Maritime Education 

and Training from the prestigious World Maritime 

University in Malmo, Sweden. 

Present and Future Commitments 

With the recent adoption of the amendments to 

the STCW Convention and Code in June 25, 2010 

following its last major amendment in 1995, the 

Philippines as a Party-state is again faced with a 

challenging task ahead. The times now call for 

instituting necessary adjustments in maritime 

education, training and certification systems to 

fulfill new requirements contained in the amended 

Convention. The STCW 2010 Manila Amendments 

entered into force on January 2012. 

The professional development of the country’s pool 

of maritime instructors and assessors is foremost 

among the list of concerns in reformulating 

the country’s maritime education, training and 

certification system. Being the only governmentowned 

maritime training and assessment center 

in the country, the NMP is currently authorized 

to conduct three (3) of the training courses for 

maritime instructors and assessors— Training 

Course for Instructors (IMO Model Course 6.09); 

and the Assessment, Examination and Certification 

of Seafarers (IMO Model Course 3.12); and Training 

Program for Instructors Conducting Simulatorbased 

Training. 

Talking about her years of experience as lead trainer, 

Ms. Lugo narrates, “I have realized that instructors 

need serious mentoring because these are technical 

people. We always say that you may be a subject 

matter expert, but that will not be enough. The first 

attribute that a person should possess in wanting 

to become a maritime instructor is the passion for 

teaching.” 

She further stresses, “The efforts of our faculty 

and trainers, no matter how small they think they 

might seem, have the potential to truly change the 

maritime industry. Good trainers do more than just 

train well, they instill an attitude of professionalism, 

best practices and responsibility in their trainees. 

This is powerful because having done this, it affects 

not only his or her direct trainees, but also the 

people that eventually work with those trainees 

when they go on board ship. Having competent 

seafarers starts with having competent instructors. 

And that is where the NMP comes in.” 

Establishing the Maritime Faculty Development 

Academy is NMP’s strategic stance in taking the lead 

to develop the competences of the country’s pool 

of maritime instructors, assessors and supervisors. 




MARITIME RESEARCH SERVICES 

Consistent with its second mandate on the conduct 

of maritime research, significant progress was 

made by the NMP in 2011 with three (3) studies 

and two (2) research proposals completed as of 

yearend. Being the only government maritime 

research center in the country, NMP’s work on this 

hugely important aspect stems from the dynamic 

characteristics of the industry and the consequent 

demand for timely, accurate, and informed data as 

basis for program and policy development. 

CONDUCT OF RESEARCH 

1. Study on the Supply of and Demand for 

Filipino Seafarers 

The research undertaking aimed to generate and 

provide a coordinated and coherent maritime labor 

market information that are at the same time 

complete, accurate and timely as basis for more 

proactive specific actions in affecting appropriate 

changes in maritime manpower education, training, 

planning and management. This is to ensure 

adequate 2011 and sustainable Annual Report supply of competent and 

globally competitive Filipino seafarers. 

Approved for implementation in May 2008, the 

research used 2007 as the base year of the data. 

Data gathering, which was originally targeted to be 

completed by end of 2008, was continued until 2009 

to be able to capture information indicative of the 

impact of the global financial crisis on the demand 

for Filipino seafarers, as in the case of crew orders 

for Filipino seafarers. 

Interim findings of the study was presented in a 

Second Maritime Industry Stakeholders’ and Data 

Users’ Forum in Cebu City on April 1, 2011. The 

first one was previously held on December 9, 2010 

at the DOLE Executive Building, Intramuros, Manila. 

The study is 100% completed as of end of June 

2011. The enhanced research report was presented 

to the NMP Board of Trustees on November 9, 2011. 

2. Decent Work in the Maritime Industry: 

Focus on Filipino Seafarers On Board Domestic 

Vessels 

The research aimed to generate information on 

the application of the decent work concept in the 

living and working conditions of Filipino seafarers 

on board domestic vessels vis-à-vis the Maritime 

Labor Convention (MLC) 2006 that will serve as 

input in the identification of good and best practices 

as well as of the issues and gaps involved in its 

application. Thereafter, the study identified and 

proposed strategies, tools or approaches to address 

these issues and gaps. 

Respondents to the study were representatives of 

domestic shipping companies, the vessels’ captains, 

and crew. Three (3) sets of instruments were used 

to gather data from the respondents, which include 

a questionnaire for vessel’s crew (Q1), check sheet 

for on board data gathering (Q2) for the vessel 

itself, and the interview schedule for representative 

of the shipping company (Q3). 


As part of the research dissemination activities of the NMP, findings of completed studies are presented 

in various internal and external venues, such as the semestral Situationer Brief participated in by 

trainees, employees, maritime-related government agencies, schools and related institutions. 


DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis Baldoz and Undersecretary Danilo P. Cruz witness the signing of a MOA among 

the OWWA, AMOSUP and NMP on a seafarers’ welfare research collaboration held at the DOLE Executive Building, 

Intramuros, Manila. Signatories to the MOA are OWWA Administrator Carmelita Dimzon, AMOSUP President 

Dr. Conrado F. Oca, and NMP OIC-Executive Director Josephus B. Jimenez. 

The data gathering component of the research was 

jointly conducted by the NMP study’s Research 

Team with the Philippine Coast Guard Personnel 

from the different Coast Guard Districts/ Stations/ 

Detachments, as Data Enumerators. A total of 47 

shipping companies representing 41% of the total 

target number of companies responded to the 

survey. In terms of the number of vessels, a total 

of 206 sample vessels or 84% of the target number 

of 2011 vessels Annual were surveyed. Report 

The research is 100% completed as of end of 

December 2011. It is slated for presentation in a 

Stakeholders’ Meeting in 2012 to validate findings 

and recommendations. 

3. Challenges Facing the Welfare of Filipino 

Seafarers— An Analysis of Current Welfare 

Services vis-à-vis Seafarers’ Needs 

A collaborative undertaking among the NMP, 

OWWA and the AMOSUP, the research findings and 

recommendations revolved on the availability of 

welfare programs for Filipino seafarers in relation to 

their articulated needs, identified issues and gaps 

involved in the process, and proposed policy and 

program interventions to address said gaps. 

The seafarers’ welfare research was conducted in 

the context of the Philippines’ position as the biggest 

provider of maritime manpower in the global market. 

Filipino seafarers are widely recognized for their 

competence, industry, dedication, adaptability, and 

reliability. Related studies project that this leading 

position will be maintained in the short to medium 

term, ensuring general stability in the market. 

That it is high time for the Philippine government to 

give due recognition to the fact that seafarers are 

deployed in a special work environment governed by 

a complex and fast-evolving regime of international 

standards was emphasized by the study. The 

uniqueness of the working and living condition of 

Filipino seafarers and the need for equally unique 

measures to promote their well-being as a distinct 

group of workers also emerged in the findings. 

Various data gathering methods were employed to 

arrive at the study’s findings and recommendations. 

Foremost among these is the conduct of eight 

(8) focus group discussions with employers and 

government representatives. Twenty-seven 

(27) in-depth interviews with seafarers and 

their dependents, associations, employers and 

government representatives were also done. To 

validate previously gathered data from focus group 

discussions and in-depth interviews, a National 

Tripartite Consultative Conference on Seafarers’ 

Welfare was held on the 10th of November 2011 

at the AMOSUP Convention Hall, AMOSUP Seamen’s 

Center, Intramuros, Manila. This was attended by a 

total of forty-nine (49) participants. 

The research is 100% completed as of end of 

December 2011. It is for presentation in a 

Stakeholders Meeting scheduled in February 2012 

to validate findings and recommendations. 



4. A Study on the Profile of Employed Filipino 

Ratings: An Update (Towards Employment in 

Maritime Allied Professions) 

The proposed research aims to establish the profile 

of registered Filipino ratings, especially in terms 

of their skills and other job-related qualifications, 

using as reference the Seafarers’ Identification 

Record Book (SIRB) issued by the Maritime Industry 

Authority (MARINA). 

From the established profile, seafarer-ratings who 

have the qualifications required for maritime allied 

professions or whose basic qualifications could be 

redirected towards qualifying in jobs in related 

industries, will be determined. Likewise, the 

research aims to recommend appropriate policy and 

program 2011 interventions Annual to support Report the government’s 

thrust towards increased employment. 

The research is being undertaken in the context 

of employment on board oceangoing vessels 

being more competitive and stringent for Filipino 

seafarers. It would be beneficial to seafarer-ratings, 

especially those who are planning to re-direct their 

careers and seek for land-based employment. It 

will also provide NMP with baseline data to be used 

in identifying training programs for the maritime 

allied industries. 

The research proposal is 75% completed as of end 

of December 2011. 

5. Labor Market Information for Sea-based 

Skills 

The proposed project is a web-based system 

designed to merge large databases from various 

data source agencies into a centralized database. 

It aims to generate and establish an integrated 

network of labor market information for seabased 

skills and provide a harmonized, web-based 

and real-time data on the country’s sea-based 

manpower. The NMP, as the project proponent, will 

take charge on the development and maintenance 

of the centralized database. 

Specific activities for 2012 will include the drafting 

and signing of Memoranda of Agreements between 

the NMP and the concerned agencies, gathering and 

comparing of data structures, and the development 

of a unified and standardized structuring of data 

components. These will ensure access to pertinent 

databases to allow the harmonization and ease of 

extraction of data and information. 

The output of the project will be the annual 

production of the Labor Market Information Report 

on Sea-based Skills. This will present a situationer 

to depict the sea-based manpower scenario which 

may serve as input to the government in the efficient 

matching of job availability and the skills supply of 

sea-based labor. 




For the Interest of the Filipino Seafarer. NMP researchers on field to coordinate with officials 

of the Philippine Coast Guard and administer questionnaires to seafarers on board domestic ships 

as part of the data gathering activities of the completed study on Decent Work in the Maritime 

Industry: Focus on Filipino Seafarers On Board Domestic Vessels. 


The Concept Paper for the project was approved 

on September 26, 2011. Meetings with data 

source agencies, such as MTC, CHED, TESDA, 

POEA, PRC and MARINA, were conducted on 

September 19-23, 2011. Consultation meetings 

with Information Technology and BLES resource 

persons were conducted on September 9 and 

September 19, 2011, respectively. 

The project proposal is 100% completed as of end 

of December 2011. 

OTHER RESEARCH-RELATED ACTIVITIES 

The NMP also spearheaded other research-related 

activities, such as the conduct of two (2) Situationer 

Briefs with the purpose of providing information to 

the trainees and the NMP employees on current 

issues affecting the global as well as local maritime 

industry. 

The first Situationer Brief was held on September 

29, 2011 in time with the World Maritime Day and 

National Maritime Week celebrations, bearing the 

theme Piracy: Orchestrating the Response. The 

forum was aimed at strengthening awareness on 

the growing problems of maritime piracy, recent 

developments in counter-piracy initiatives by the 

government, employers and seafarers and soliciting 

participants’ experiences and views. Participants 

totaled 222 NMP employees, trainees and guests. 

The second Situationer Brief served as an echolearning 

session for the sharing of experiences from 

the Shipboard Rotation Program. Held on December 

8, 2011 at the NMP Training Building, it focused 

on Onboard Training and Working Environment 

as presented by two (2) of NMP’s faculty based 

on experiences onboard through the Agency’s 

Shipboard Rotation Program. In attendance were 

94 employees and trainees. 



ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPPORT 

SERVICES 

The National Maritime Polytechnic’s prudence in 

financial management, coupled with new innovations 

in the areas of administrative support services, 

again contributed to the Agency’s sustained growth 

momentum. As a government service provider, NMP 

continued to focus its efforts and resources on the 

effective and efficient delivery of vital services to 

the public. 

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL 

Revenues generated reached P36.6M from training, 

seminar, dormitory and miscellaneous fees. This 

posted an impressive 14% increase or P4.4M growth 

in revenues when compared from the income of 

P32.2M in 2010. 

Obligations incurred, on the other hand, amounted 

to P103.2M vis-à-vis allotment of P106.5M. A 

good percentage of the expenses incurred went 

to the acquisition of new training equipment and 

improvement of NMP’s buildings and structures. 


With operations and targets right on track despite 

budgetary constraints, the Agency remained 

optimistic in sustaining its positive fiscal performance 

with more seafarers coming to train at the NMP. 

likewise continues the practice of sending its 

maritime instructors every year to get shipboard 

experience through its Shipboard Rotation Scheme. 

Ever mindful of the significant contributions of its 

employees in the attainment of planned programs, 

activities and projects, the Agency beefed up its 

Program on Awards and Incentives for Service 

Excellence (PRAISE). Part of NMP’s PRAISE is the 

grant of a service incentive award to employees who 

have reached ten (10), fifteen (15), twenty (20), 

and twenty-five (25) years of continued service. 

To honor NMP’s retiring employee in 2011, Ms. 

Brigida A. Campo, a simple yet meaningful Salamat- 

Mabuhay program was held on October 18, 2011 

at the NMP Officers’ Dormitory in consonance with 

pertinent policy of the Civil Service Commission. 

The Agency likewise launched the Natatanging Job

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

Working for the approval of the long pending 

Rationalization Plan was topmost on the Agency’s 

agenda for 2011. Coordination meetings with DBM 

officials by the NMP Management were undertaken 

to fast track its approval. The filling up of critical 

vacant positions became an urgent task, noting the 

difficulty in recruiting and retaining management 

level officers in the pool of trainers, assessors, and 

course developers due to uncompetitive salary scale 

compared to pay onboard. 

Meanwhile, human resource initiatives were geared 

towards providing professional growth opportunities 

to develop a talented base of trainers, officers and 

employees. The Agency organized the conduct 

of twenty-five (25) in-house trainings and sent 

some thirty-two (32) employees to attend external 

trainings, both local and abroad. The Agency

MATERIAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

Geared towards improving the quality of services 

offered to its clients, the NMP carried out during the 

year a number of major construction, repair and 

rehabilitation works on different infrastructures, 

which include the following 

1. Maritime Training Annex Building 

2. Covered Walk from Maritime Training Annex to 

Maritime Training Building 

3. Drainage System at SASC Practicum Area 

4. Structure for the 15PPM Oily Water Separator 

5. Multi-Purpose Building through public bidding 

facilitated by PS-DBM 

Priority acquisitions for the year include the 

procurement of second-hand Tank Lorry, as well as 

procurement of new training equipment such as the 

Rescue Boat, Hull and Single-Arm Davit and ECDIS 

with actual ECDIS Console. These are the latest 

additions to the state-of-the-art training equipment 

and simulators which NMP annually procures. 

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM 

Upgrading and enhancement of existing information 

systems and development of new ones to improve 

quality of frontline services and for the delivery 

of effective customer service was a priority 

undertaking. In this line, a proposal for the new 

version of the Maritime Training Information System 

(MTIS), Cash Collection Information System (CCIS), 

and the NMP web portal (www.nmp.gov.ph) was 

approved by Management and endorsed to the NMP 

Bids and Awards Committee for public bidding. 

The new version of the MTIS will include subsystems 

on trainees’ registration, identification, certificate 

printing as well as a statistical reporting system. 

Further, the MTIS will be interconnected with 

other information systems like the Cash Collection 

Information System (CCIS), Computer-based 

Assessment System (CBAS), Billing Information 

System (BIS), Library Resource Information System 

(LRIS), Trainees Billeting Information System 

(TBIS), and Maritime Research Information System 

(MRIS). 

The enhanced Agency web portal will also incorporate 

new features, the most important of which are the 

e-Registration, e-Reservation, Schedule Inquiry and 

Certificate Verification, among others. With this 

new version of the Agency web portal, institutional 

visibility of the NMP on its programs and services 

will be enhanced as another way of promoting and 

marketing the Agency.

INFORMATION AND MARKETING 

In order to increase Agency visibility and broaden 

market reach, the NMP pursued aggressive marketing 

and publication drive in 2011. Towards this end, 

the development, production and dissemination 

of information and promotional materials were 

pursued. In the area of client and public relations, 

press releases were disseminated to various media 

on a monthly basis. Media guestings in national and 


local television and radio stations as well as press 

briefings were undertaken. Advertisements were 

also placed in select maritime publications to inform 

seafarers and interested parties on the agency’s 

various programs and new services. 

Still to increase agency visibility and in line with the 

“Go to Sea” campaign of the international maritime 

industry, the NMP continued to grant requests 

for educational trips by different schools. This 

kind of publicity is simple yet could influence the 

decision of senior high school students to pursue 

a seafaring career when they enroll in college. For 

the year, there were a total of nine (9) educational 

tours facilitated, most of which are with the Living 

Hope Child Development and Learning Center, 

Samar State University, Naval State University, 

SERCON Technical School, St. Scholastica’s College, 

Concepcion High School and Sacred Heart College. 

LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER 

With the implementation of the Value-based 

Information and Communication Program, the 

Learning Resource Center embraced the task of 

maintaining the Agency’s value-based bulletin board 

and the posting of value-model posters display. The 

bulletin board display showcases positive Filipino 

traits and values to serve as a constant reminder 

to employees and trainees of the importance of 

inculcating these social values into their daily lives. 

Due to increasing volumes of book and non-book 

acquisitions every year, the Learning Resource 

Center regularly conducts maintenance and updating 

of library collection, records and files for immediate 

access of reference materials by its users and for 

the preservation of important library holdings. 

For the year 2011, thirty-seven (37) technical books 

and six (6) journals were acquired and subscribed 

to cater to instructors’ and trainees’ use. Clients 

served for 2011 totaled 26,777. 

PLANNING AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING 

Cognizant of the dynamic nature of the maritime 

industry and committed to provide relevant and 

responsive services attuned to the issues and 

challenges facing the maritime industry, the Agency 

pursued the crafting of the NMP Development Plan 

2012-2016. 

The Development Plan was crafted in the spirit of 

addressing critical issues and challenges that impact 

on the maritime industry through interventions 

related to the NMP’s mandate. It also looks 

closely into issues and concerns for growth in the 

institution’s internal environment. 



These industry and agency-specific issues and 

concerns are translated into Strategic Goals. 

Included among the identified industry challenges 

are the recurrent shortage of management level 

officers, compliance to the 2010 STCW Manila 

Amendments, escalation of piracy at sea, and 

the country’s ratification of the Maritime Labor 

Convention 2006. 

In addressing these issues, the NMP came up with 

these strategic goals: 1.) Quality, accessible and 

relevant training, 2.) Responsive partner of maritime 

regulatory bodies on MET, 3.) Responsive maritime 

researches, 4.) Dynamic key officials and personnel 

imbued with a culture of leadership, service and 

excellence, 5.) Strengthened external relations 

for resource generation, technical cooperation and 

institutional visibility, 6.) Enhanced facilities, and 

7.) Increased outputs and sustained outcomes. 

TRAINEES’ AFFAIRS SERVICE 

The NMP rolls out various activities designed to 

ensure that trainees go through a balanced training 

experience. For years now, the Trainees Affairs 

Unit was established to hone the social, physical, 

mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of the 

Filipino seafarers who come to train at the NMP. 

True enough, during the Lenten season of 2011, 

NMP trainees participated in various activities such 

as Station of the Cross, Holy Mass and Visita Iglesia, 

Bible reading and film showings. During the NMP 

celebration of the 113th Philippine Independence, 

they likewise joined in activities such as tree planting, 

symposium, re-enactment of the declaration of 

the 2011 Philippine Annual Independence, Report and cultural show 

presentations. 

Pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 183 

declaring June 25th of every year as the “Day of the 

Seafarer” and as a gesture of goodwill and gratitude, 

all NMP trainees were given free accommodation for 

one (1) day at the officers’ and ratings’ dormitory. 

To make the occasion more memorable, a sundown 

picnic was organized of which 227 trainees took part 

in the fun-filled activity. 

Apart from the regular sports program such as 

basketball, volleyball, chess, dart, billiards and 

table tennis, which are available to trainees after 

classes and during weekends, reflexology trainings 

are conducted twice a month to interested trainees. 

GOOD GOVERNANCE 

The continual improvement of the NMP Quality 

Management System (QMS) still remains a top 

priority of the NMP. On April 2011, the AJA Registrars 

auditors announced that the NMP QMS was 

recommended for continued certification to the ISO 

9001:2008 standard following off-site verification of 

Corrective Action Requests (CAR) raised. Also for 

the year, noteworthy is the NMP QMS inclusion in the 

best practices at the DOLE ranking of 9, following 

criteria on originality (2.0), economy (2.0), systembased 

(2.5) and impact (2.5). 

Innovations were also introduced in this line with 

newly designated internal auditors conducting 

monthly internal audit based on the Audit Plan for 

the year effective February 2011. This resulted 

to new perspectives and recommendations for 

improvement on the processes that were audited. 

Other highlights in the implementation of the QMS 

thrusts and priorities for the year include the revision 

of sixteen (16) procedures and thirteen (13) forms 

and development of six (6) new forms to address 

current requirements and correct deficiencies noted 

were. To improve provision of resources to the entire 

Agency, an enhanced procurement system was also 

launched effective August of the year. An Annual 

Review of the Quality Policy Manual by supervisors 

to reaffirm adequacy and conformance to current 

requirements was also pursued. Also undertaken 

were the conduct of a QMS Awareness Sessions to 

new employees. 

With all that the NMP covered in terms of its QMS, 

it will now strive to greater heights by working for 

recognition in the national level. The Agency will 

also continuously work towards maintaining its ISO 

certification and achieve the purposes for which it 

was established.

Instituting 

Value-based 

Reforms 

Atty. JBJ’s Legacy to the NMP 


Former Labor Undersecretary and Labor 

Attache, Atty. Josephus B. Jimenez 

instituted value-based leadership as 

the anchor of his governance policy 

since assuming helm of the National 

Maritime Polytechnic in May 2, 2011. 

The desire to inculcate among officials 

and employees the highest standards of excellence 

and ethical culture will remain his legacy as he 

leaves the NMP to take on a new DOLE post effective 

February 1, 2012. 

“For the last eight (8) months, I passionately 

instituted reforms and embarked on innovations to 

bring NMP to new levels of excellence. Many people 

were affected by the changes I initiated. I did it all 

in the greater interest of the organization,” Director 

Jimenez said. 

Establishing the Efficiency and Integrity Board 

(EIB) was foremost among the measures pushed 

by the NMP official in the pursuit of an “honest, 

transparent, and citizen-centric public service”. The 

creation of the EIB also forms part of the reforms 

pursued by DOLE to curb corruption and enhance 

service delivery. 

The move towards strengthening people’s values to 

achieve zero tolerance for corruption also moved 

Director Jimenez to conduct moral renewal seminars 

during his time at the NMP. One of these is the EHEM! 

Anti-Corruption Self-Check Seminar for Supervisors 

done in two (2) batches with a total of fifty-seven 

(57) participants. Another is a Seminar on Effective 

Employee Discipline, also held in two (2) batches, to 

a total of fifty-seven (57) participants. 

Other innovations introduced along this line include 

the implementation of the Value-based Information 

and Communication Program and conduct of Valuebased 

Flag Ceremony. The Agency celebration of 

the Independence Day, with activities highlighting 

rich Philippine cultural history, was also the first of 

its kind in the NMP, if not in the region. 

During Director Jimenez’ time, administrative 

policies focused on the approval of the CY 2012 

Budget and CY 2012 Plans and Programs, conduct 

of Consultative Meeting with DBM to fast-track 

approval of the long-awaited NMP Rationalization 

Plan, and the much talked about reorganization and 

reshuffling of personnel in critical units. 

The NMP official emphasized, “If in the process, 

feelings were hurt and some comfort zones were 

broken, I assure you that there was no intent to 

cause damage. I am proud of what we have all 

done in the past eight (8) months given all the 

constraints and challenges.” 

A successful labor relations practitioner, Director 

Jimenez also passionately upholded the rights of 

the NMP as an institution. He placed premium on 

the interests of the Agency, especially with service

Colonel Yuki Matsuzaki, Japan Defense Attache, visit the NMP on October 19, 2011 


providers like LEYECO, DBP, BAYANTEL, Security 

Services, and informal settlers occupying NMP real 

properties. 

Synergy with MET institutions was also high among 

the NMP official’s priority agenda. During his brief 

stint, cooperation agreements were formed with 

the MTC in the areas of research and curriculum 

development, human resource development, and 

information exchange; with MARINA, PCG and 

LGUs on the conduct of Basic Safety Training for 

Motorboat Handlers, Operators and Fishermen; 

and with Maritime colleges and institutions on the 

conduct of Basic Safety Training and other offsite 

courses. 

Under the special projects, the NMP continued to 

implement social advocacy programs such as the 

conduct of Basic Safety Training for Motorboat 

Handlers, Operators and Fishermen in coordination 

with local government units in order to equip 

motorboat handlers and fishermen with the basic 

knowledge, skills and attitudes towards the 

reduction of sea accidents and the protection of the 

marine environment. For 2011, this social advocacy 

program was extended in coordination with the Local 

Government Units of Babatngon, Leyte and Guiuan, 

Eastern Samar. More of this program is expected to 

be implemented in other municipalities in the region 

come 2012. 

Having accomplished all these in such short time, 

Director Jimenez said, “I bid farewell with my best 

wishes that you shall go on to the Blue Ocean with 

a seafarer’s heart. Mabuhay and God bless. Work 

as a team. Cast away all dissensions. Forgive each 

other and start anew.”
