you always beat the odds,
turning something bad to decent.

With a skill to draw and paint,
your works become an instrument,
for others to reveal their strength,
and to express your unheard statement.

May this poem be a testament
for your unwavering commitment
of seeking and bringing truth,
and to your life full of joy and youth.

Happy Birthday to the publication's Illustrator, Mdpn. Russel James Amatorio! May this day be as colorful and vibrant as your creative drawings and illustrations. Keep on incorporating vivid realities into your designs!

After the recently concluded Community Service and Inception Day 2024, a total of 814 first-year students of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Arevalo), Inc. officially donned their shoulder boards, October 1.

This symbolic event symbolizes the hard-bitten journey every cadet of this university must go through in order to be worthy of being called a "true-blooded Lacsonian."

Initiation is brotherhood and camaraderie, with each obstacle symbolizing the challenges one cadet must go through in his life.

System Model Cadet 2024, Mdpn. Yohannes Prince Dionson, highlighted the importance of the student body's role in the university, stating that, "we [JBLFMU-A] set the standards above the standards."

Hence, as the biggest producers of seafarers worldwide, this serves as a reflection, a responsibility of maintaining and wearing the uniform, making it clean and shiny.

Honing globally competent seafarers and instructors.

2/M Loren Steve G. Glumalid, a recipient of the Maritime Instructor’s Training (MIT) Scheme (Advance Course) from John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Arevalo), Inc., is presently in Japan to finalize the course designed to enhance maritime teaching skills and equip maritime instructors with current technical information, with regards to their profession.

Upon knowing that he was chosen, 2/M Glumalid shared his first thoughts.

"When I found out that I was chosen by our Dean, C/M Virmari S. Tan, Ph.D., Director of International Affairs-JBLF System, as the university’s representative for Japan's MIT Course, I was both astonished and honored—my initial reaction was one of disbelief. But soon, it transformed into a profound sense of responsibility. I felt an overwhelming sense of gratefulness that my efforts were recognized and that I was entrusted with this significant opportunity," 2/M Glumalid declared.

Notably, 2/M Glumalid also highlighted that the achievement was not merely his own but would be a good opportunity for JBLFMU-Arevalo as a whole.

"This selection is not only a personal achievement but also a reflection of the trust and confidence that the university has placed in me. More importantly, it motivates me to represent our university with excellence and to use this training course as a platform to bring back valuable knowledge and insights that can benefit both our students and colleagues," he added.

The said training course is held by the Seamen's Employment Center of Japan (SECOJ) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT) of Japan, in collaboration with the STCW Office of the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA).

There are a total of five maritime instructors brought out to attend the course. Including 2/M Glumalid, two more instructors from the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific were invited, another from Palompon Institute of Technology, and also one from Our Lady of Fatima University.

Moreover, the pre-screening process for the representatives, which includes the submission of requirements, was done by MARINA; on the other hand, the SECOJ created the final list of applicants.

Around five hundred students, faculty, and staff of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Arevalo), Inc., accessed Zoom to nourish their understanding of the blue economy in line with the celebration of the Maritime Archipelagic Nation Awareness Month (MANAMo) today, September 27.

With a theme, "Lacsonians Leading the Way: Sustainable Solutions for a thriving Blue Economy," keynote speakers tackle the understanding, exploring, and role of seafarers in the blue economy.

Welcomed by Capt. Nestor L. Baluya, BSMT Department Program Head, he was followed by three speakers discussing their respective topics: Mr. Ducovnee Bergel P. Dumaquit, ENEOS Ocean Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd. Singapore; C/M Daryne D. Castañeda, BSMT faculty; and Ms. Mary Ann A. Panes, Registration Officer, MARINA Region VI.

Right after all topics were discussed, an open forum answered the queries of students regarding the topic with Mdpn. Jhonard P. Quirino as the first student to ask his matters.

"So given the ongoing territorial disputes, between the Philippines and China in the West Philippine Sea, to what extent do geopolitical tensions impact the development of the blue economy?"

"South China Sea currently is very blurry even though we are in UNCLOS; if you see in the laws of the sea, unfortunately China doesn't want to give in for what is for the Philippines and what is for China," Mr. Dumaquit stated in response to the open forum question.

With that in mind, Mrs. Rohena Z. Miranda, Head of Student Affairs and Services, highlights how students can help protect the oceans "by participating and engaging themselves in environment protection, like coastal cleanups, planting of mangroves, [and] river clean-ups." As insights flowed during the webinar, Atty. Roel Saguid made his agreement with the input of C/M Castañeda, urging students to study maritime law.

"The issue of the blue economy requires the correct understanding of our maritime zones and the laws that regulate the use of our maritime domains," Atty. Saguid affirmed.

Right after, C/M JC A. Billones launched the official start of the Art Contest and Mobile Photography Contest, with Capt. Kester R. Ledesma, faculty assistant to the Dean, putting the online event to a close.

The webinar was organized by the Polaris Class Organization and advocates for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) developed by the United Nations: Climate Action (SDG 13), Life Below Water (SDG 14), and Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8).
