PTC-CSJ Foundation and Mapua Malayan Colleges Laguna (MMCL) welcomed ten new maritime scholars under the Foundation’s Nurturing Future Seafarers (NFS) – Batch 3 Project. The ceremonial MOA signing was held on September 5, 2023, at MMCL in Cabuyao, Laguna.
The new batch includes eight B.S. Marine Transportation (MT) and two B.S. Marine Engineering (MARE) students. All scholars are currently in their second year at Mapua-PTC College of Maritime Education and Training and will receive full scholarship support through their fourth year of study.
Officials from PTC-CSJ and MMCL led by Mrs. Carla S. Limcaoco and Dr. Dodjie S. Maestrecampo.
In her message to the students, PTC-CSJ Foundation President Mrs. Carla S. Limcaoco emphasized the broader impact of their education: "Whenever you are faced with challenges, please remember the bigger picture and how each of you are important and needed by the shipping industry. You are living your lives not just for yourselves but for the greater good of humanity."
