Mapapa- “here we go again” naman ta sa kakibot parehas kay Mdpn. CJ from Villa Baybay Street, as there is only one more week left before the official classes for A.Y 2026-2027 begin.

Which means going back to the same old routine of waking up early in the morning, reviewing for quizzes and exams, ironing uniforms, and shining paraphernalia.

This same goes to encountering terror instructors!😱

But set aside all the fear and worries, as new chapter in our life as maritime students is about to unfold.

Just like what they say, trust the magic of new beginnings! ✨

Some arrange elements—he arranges meaning.
CJ,

A curator of spaces, a weaver of balance, where every margin matters and every detail finds its place.

With patient hands and a discerning eye, he turns blank canvases into pages that speak, guiding stories through form, rhythm, and design.

Beyond the grids and guidelines, he sees what others miss— the harmony between words and visuals, the quiet power of presentation, the art hidden within structure.

Though still early in his journey, his creativity already leaves an imprint, proof that great designs, like great stories, begin with a vision.

Happy birthday to our Layout Artist, Mdpn. CJ Earn Anthony S. Gonzaga!

May your ideas continue to flourish, your creativity know no bounds, and your layouts keep bringing life to every story they hold.

Faculty and staff of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Arevalo), Inc. traded classrooms and offices for a day of games, learning, and fellowship during the Employees’ Teambuilding and Socialization Activities on June 5, 2026.

The event opened with a Holy Mass before employees gathered for a series of team-building games and activities, keeping the employees engaged throughout the morning.

The afternoon shifted focus from recreation to learning as employees attended a seminar on Workplace Bullying.

The session tackled workplace conduct and discussions on maintaining a professional and respectful environment within the university community.

Participants then cooled down with a round of bingo games after the seminar before moving on to the day’s remaining activities.

Following the seminar and bingo games, Sports Fest winners were recognized as teams once again faced off in the Hataw and Tanghalan ng Lacsonians Contest.

The day wrapped up with dinner, fellowship, and a community closing song, officially capping the event.

This Pride Month, The Dolphin celebrates every color that moves like waves across the sea, different yet never divided.

Some waves are calm, some waves are strong, but all belong to the same sea.

Sail as you are.

A total of 24 graduates have successfully received their postgraduate degrees as the John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University Graduate School held its 26th Commencement Exercises last May 29, at the JBL Hall.

Prior the ceremony, a baccalaureate mass was led by Rev. Fr. Joel Eslabra and attended by the candidates for graduation.

Following the preliminaries of the graduation ceremony was an inspirational message delivered by the commencement speaker— Engr. Emmanuel B. Carpio, Ph.D.

Engr. Carpio is the current Director II of the office of the Shipyards Regulation Service and Marine Environment Protection Development Service of the Maritime Industry Authority.

In his speech he encouraged all the graduates to step up as they will be the beacon that will teach maritime students to adapt in an ever-changing world.

“For our PhD and master's graduates in maritime education, your challenge is perhaps the most critical of all: You are the bridge between this fast-evolving industry and the seafarers of tomorrow. The traditional rote learning methodologies of maritime training are no longer sufficient. We must teach them how to adapt,” Engr. Carpio said.

The postgraduate degrees conferred to the respective graduates are as follows: Master of Science in Ship Management, Master of Science in Maritime Management, Master of Science in Maritime Education, and Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime Education.
