(L-R) Program Host Rollie Montilla, MARINA RO8 Director Manuel Portus and NMP OIC-Executive Director Josephus B. Jimenez during a media guesting at DYVL/ AAC 24 Teleradyo for the National Maritime Week celebration 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 2011 Annual Report 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. 2011 Annual Report 15 NMP Annual Report 2011
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. 2011 Annual Report NMP trainees as “katipuneros” during the re-enactment of the declaration of the Philippine independence at the NMP.
