PTC Sea Mariners proudly celebrates the success of 17 dedicated members who have passed the prestigious Philippine Merchant Marine Academy Entrance Examination (PMMAEE). This achievement marks a significant milestone in their journey toward becoming global maritime professionals.

The successful candidates represent a diverse group of talented youth from Sto. Rosario National High School, Tunasan National High School, and Ismael Mathay Sr. High School. Their achievement is a testament to the rigorous preparation provided by the PTC Sea Mariners’ Maritime Entrance Exam Review Sessions (MEERS).

By providing focused mentorship and comprehensive review sessions, MEERS empowers students to navigate the competitive admissions process of the country’s premier maritime academies.

“This milestone highlights the effectiveness of MEERS as a preparatory program,” said Chloe Balmaceda, National Training Associate. “It reinforces our commitment to building a strong pipeline of qualified candidates who are ready to uphold the high standards of the global maritime industry.”
