| The Philippine Merchant Marine
Academy (PMMA) which was formerly known as the Philippine
Nautical School was created in January 1963
under Republic Act 3680. From a mere skills training
school, the Academy now offers two degree programs:
BS in Marine Transportation, major in navigation and
seamanship; and BS in Marine Transportation, major
in steam engine and electrical engineering. |

Since its establishment, the PMMA
has been producing efficient and well trained merchant marine
officers who could compare with those of the world's best.
These graduates spearheaded the Philippines' efforts in
International trade although they could also serve as auxiliary
officers capable of servicing naval needs in times of conflict.
Aside from ship officers, the Academy also
trains its students in other fields of marine service, like
marine surveying, port supervision, shipping office administration,
ship management and others.
To educate and train midshipmen/women to
become qualified and competent merchant marine officers
for shipboard and shore-based positions, in response to
the global requirements of the expanding international maritime
industry as well as to become competent and capable naval
officers who can serve as naval and military auxiliaries
in times of war and national emergencies; and to contribute
to the improvement of maritime education and the pool of
ship business managers through graduate school programs
are the missions of the PMMA.
The Philippine Merchant Marine
Academy envisions through its academic programs
and quasi-military training to produce a balanced personality
out of every graduate, i.e. an internationally acceptable
officer and gentleman who can function efficiently in his
field of endeavor and contribute to the development and
progress of the Filipino nation.
