The Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) officially launched Season 3 of the MAAP Sportsfest on 24 June 2025 at the MAAP Gymnasium, uniting departments and staff in a spirited celebration of sportsmanship, teamwork, and camaraderie.
Four teams—Team Admin (White), Team Acads (Black), Team Acad Support (Blue), and Team Mixed (Red)—are set to compete in a series of athletic events, showcasing their skills, competitive drive, and unity.

Captain Patrick Glen Gamet, a MAAP alumnus and the instructor-in-charge of the event, delivered an energizing opening message to motivate the participants.
“Keep the record breaking. Let’s keep the drive alive this 2025. This is not just another sportsfest; rather, it is a showcase of cheers, wits, and grits. Sail forward, MAAP,” he said.

The Es**rts and Muse segment followed shortly after, highlighting the elegance, confidence, and creativity of each team’s representatives.

In the Muse category, Ms. Edlyn Grace Ilano of the Admin Department claimed first place, followed by Ms. Irish Pangilinan of the Mixed Department in second. Dr. Leonora Dela Cruz of the Acads Department secured third place, while Ms. Jeri Anne Villar of the Acad Support Department completed the lineup.

For the Es**rt category, Mr. Fritz Baligad of the Acads Department took the top spot, followed by Ensign Willie B. Cerezo from the Admin Department. Engineer Vicente Torio of the Mixed Department placed third, with Engineer Marlon Bulan of the Acad Support Department rounding out the list.

MAAP President, VADM Eduardo Ma. R. Santos AFP (Ret), also delivered a message, emphasizing the deeper purpose behind the games—holistic development through healthy competition.

“This event develops your emotional aspect, leadership, and teamwork. Have a very successful sportsfest, para lahat ay masaya,” he stated.

The opening ceremony continued with the oath of sportsmanship led by 3/E Canay, followed by an energetic zumba session performed by the midshipmen and midshipwomen of MAAP Dynamics.

The first sporting event of the day featured a dominant performance by Team Acads (Black) in the women’s 3x3 basketball, defeating Team Admin (White) with a score of 11–1. In a closely contested match, Team Mixed (Red) triumphed over Team Acad Support (Blue) with a final score of 11–9.

Three more events—tug-of-war, 5x5 patintero, and dodgeball—are set to take place in the coming days, as the teams continue their pursuit of the championship title and the pride of representing their respective departments.

𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬’ 𝐃𝐚𝐲: 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬

Every June 25, the world pays tribute to the unsung heroes of the maritime industry — our seafarers. These men and women brave the vast, unpredictable oceans to keep global trade alive, connecting continents, fueling economies, and delivering the essentials of daily life. Often unseen but always essential, seafarers are the driving force behind the world’s supply chains.

The Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) stands tall in this global celebration, honoring its cadets, alumni, and maritime professionals who embody courage, discipline, and commitment. As a premier institution in maritime education, MAAP continues to forge world-class seafarers — leaders at sea who uphold the highest standards of excellence, safety, and service.

In a historic milestone, the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) welcomed 𝟓𝟗𝟏 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧 during its Reception Rites held on 23 June 2025—the largest class in the academy’s history.

Held at the New Parade Grounds of MAAP, the event marked the official entry of Class 2029 into the regimented life of maritime training.

From a competitive pool of more than 8,900 applicants nationwide, just 591- comprising 𝟱𝟱𝟵 𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟯𝟮 𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 - earned admission, marking the largest incoming class in MAAP’s history.

The day began with admission procedures, followed by a dialogue between MAAP President VADM Eduardo Ma R Santos AFP (Ret) and the parents of the incoming cadets.

In the afternoon, VADM Santos graced the event with an inspirational message emphasizing the importance of shared growth, character development, and lifelong values.

“You have come from different places all over the country, from different walks of life—but today, all 591 of you will begin to walk one path together. You are chosen to train, to serve, and to lead,” VADM Santos stated.

He reminded them that the academy’s mission extends beyond academics: it is to develop leaders grounded in honor and integrity.

“We teach not only education. We teach values that last a lifetime—Virtus. Fides. Disiplina,” he added.

The probationary midshipmen will undergo a 32-day Indoctrination and Orientation Period (IOP), focused on physical, mental, and regimental training then will culminate on the Incorporation Ceremony, which will officially mark their entry into the fleet.

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗟: 𝗗-𝗗𝗔𝗬
[⚠️ 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧 ⚠️]
PA SYSTEM BROADCAST — 0900H, D-DAY of Reception Rites
"Attention, ɪɴᴄᴏᴍɪɴɢ ᴄʟᴀꜱꜱ 2029
This is not a drill.
I repeat—this is not a drill.
Barometers falling. Psychological pressure building. Emotional ballast required.
Secure all uncertainties. Prepare all required documents, items, and most importantly, your will."

Report to the 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐩.
Few hours before contact.
This is your final advisory before your first transformation.
Godspeed.
There comes a time in every celestial body’s orbit when it must accelerate, slingshot past gravity, and enter a new trajectory. That time is now, Probationary Midshipman.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥. It is like a vessel, purposely-built and storm-tested, to carry you into unknown waters. You are not merely stepping onto concrete ground; you are stepping into a gravitational field where discipline is the force, and time... is the tide.

I still remember mine. The morning of Reception Rites. My neurons were firing erratically like an overcharged circuit, where fear, anticipation, nausea, resolve overwhelms my mind. I was Schrödinger’s cadet: both brave and terrified, both ready and not. They say the universe began with a bang. Mine began with a whistle.
And that moment, that first call to attention, felt like the first spark of fusion inside a star.
What awaits you is no ordinary institution. You will learn not just to navigate oceans, but to navigate yourself—your faults, your failures, your fears. Your days will be spent ruled by training, governed by regulations, and measured not in comfort, but in conduct. You will be broken down, not to weaken you, but to remove the excess mass, like a hull shedding barnacles, so you may become seaworthy.
It is said that friction is necessary for motion. Likewise, you’ll find that pain, hardship, and rejection are not anomalies but are the very forces that propel you forward.

𝐈𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, remember the very reason you came, hold on to that reason and anchor it to your heart. You’ll hear voices yelling loud enough to burst your ears and rearrange your brains. And as your civilian instincts melt under the heat of maritime rigor, you will feel the change.

The first time you iron your uniform with machine precision.
The first time you carry your rifle.
The first time your name was called as a midshipman.
The first time you don’t flinch when the clock strikes 𝟬𝟰𝟯𝟬𝗛.

You’ll feel yourself harden like tempered steel though still flawed, still learning, but resilient.
You will fall. You must. Even the most stable vessel rolls. There will be nights when the moon looks foreign through the porthole of your fatigue. When your ribs echo the sound of your own breath, and you ask yourself if you’re enough. You ask the divine presence for signs to continue and the universe for signs to stay.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮.
But you were not built for the harbor. You were built to brave hurricanes of doubt,
to read charts of your own emotions, to decipher the morse code of failure into a signal of growth. The ship does not ask the storm to soften. It reinforces its hull. And neither will you ask for less burden, only broader shoulders.
Your classmates? They will become your constellation. Your crew. Your mirror and map. The sea does not reward lone ships. From this day forward, you navigate together, or you drift apart.
Years from now, you’ll look back and understand that this day wasn’t the hardest day of your life. It was just the start of the best decision you ever made.
You will learn to carry not just your name, but the name of this institution. You’ll represent not just your batch, but every cadet who came before you. And one day, when you're sailing across oceans or standing as an officer, you’ll remember this exact moment from the nerves, the fear, the excitement and realize that it was here, in this place, that your story truly began.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥.
This is the countdown to your becoming.
To those who dare step forward,

𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙖𝙧𝙙.

The body’s rushing, blood pumping, adrenaline surging! Energy coiled like a bomb ready to explode — because in just 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗬, the long-awaited Reception Rites for the MAAP Class of 2029 will ignite! The tension is rising, the anticipation is unbearable, and every heartbeat counts down to a life-changing moment.

As the aspirants await their first moments inside the Academy, they experience a whirlwind of emotions before the fast-approaching reporting time. To those feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, to those who are currently in 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 take this message as a spark of encouragement and a reminder that every great journey begins with discomfort. Let this be your signal to rise, endure, and embrace the challenge ahead.

📡 𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗗𝗔𝗬: 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗟
Origin: Cadet 8285 Vessel: MAAP
Coordinates: 14°26.7′N, 120°33.0′E – Off the coast of Kamaya Point, MAAP
Time Sent: 1750H – Attention call, mind still racing
Nature of Transmission: Emotional, mental, and spiritual fatigue
Current Status: Underway, soul on transit
Intended Receiver: Aspirants, to those who take the challenge

𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗗𝗔𝗬, 𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗗𝗔𝗬, 𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗗𝗔𝗬!

This is a distress call, not for rescue, but remembrance. A signal from a soul currently in transit, navigating the waters of transformation. I send this not to be pulled from the waves, but to remind you, who will soon enter them, that the storm is survivable and even beautiful, if you know where to look.

⛓ 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦

Entering into the Academy is different from boarding a ship. It’s disembarking from who you were. You will feel stripped of everything from your hair, time, comfort, and identity. You’ll hear your surname shouted more times in a week than your full name at home in a year. You’ll run without asking why, stand still when your legs scream “move,” and speak only when spoken to. But what feels like breaking down is, in truth, being built. This is not punishment. This is preparation.

🌊 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗕𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘𝗗

Heart rate surges like a vessel under high wind, not from fear, but from the sheer weight of becoming.
Vocal cords stretch under strain, learning to speak with clarity, but also to remain silent with discipline.
Homesickness hits like phantom pain, an ache where comfort used to be.
Muscles tremble not only from physical drills but from carrying the invisible weight of expectations, legacies, and the haunting voice of self-doubt.

Fog rolls in the deepest parts of the sea of the mind.
You will question your heading. You will second-guess your compass.
And yet…

🧭 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗦 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘

I am still afloat.
Not adrift. Still sailing. Still choosing to sail.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴:

I navigate somewhere between “I can’t” and “I must.”
That uncharted region is where true cadets are made. In the quiet moments when no one is watching. In the internal battles fought before dawn. In the mundane feeling of an endless cycle of routines. In the mornings you want to stay in your bunk but rise anyway. In the nights where homesickness howls louder than the whistle. In the moments you choose to endure, again and again.

🛰 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 (𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀)
Cadet-in-waiting, take heed: If you come here looking for perfection, leave that at the gate. Bring grit instead. Bring your why. Pack light, but hold heavy things, things anchored in your heart like purpose, and pride. There will be days when you feel invisible, unheard, unseen. But even shadows require light to exist. And I promise, it’s there. You’re not just applying to a school. You’re signing a silent contract with the sea: “Make me stronger than I was, no matter how rough the tides.”
This place will keep its end of the deal. So must you.

🛟 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡
You will experience all Distress in all kinds of situations.
But hold on to your reason, embed it within your mind, and anchor it deep in your heart. Let your conviction, faith, and tenacity propel you forward to sail and survive.
Signal ends...
but your journey begins.

It is now two days before the reception rites of the MAAP Class of 2029. Witness them as they take their first steps within the hallowed grounds of the academy, marking the beginning of their arduous but worthwhile journey toward a fruitful maritime career.

This literary piece is a sentiment of encouragement for those who rise to the challenge and choose to become part of the midshipman fleet.

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐌𝐀𝐍,𝐖𝐇𝐎?

𝐏ushing like the sky’s the limit, a purpose now clear,
𝐑esilience molded, overcoming all fear.
𝐎ath-bound and ready, for what lies ahead,
𝐁anching out strong, where great leaders are made.
𝐀ll comfort dissolve, a new self unfurls,
𝐓riumph in grit, as a new chapter of the story unfolds.
𝐈n every drill, a new strength emerged,
𝐎vercoming fears and doubts, leaving vulnerabilities like a melting iceberg.
𝐍avigating challenges, day by grueling day,
𝐀cademy's crucible lights up thy way.
𝐑eaching for greatness, with hearts full of might,
𝐘earning for mastery, embracing like a warrior fight.

𝐌olding the future, with passion and disciplined grace,
𝐈n unity standing, we find our true place.
𝐃edication shines, through sweat, strain and pain,
𝐒ailor's spirit rising, through the scorching sun and the cold rain.
𝐇ardship endured, for a purpose so grand,
𝐈ntegrity guiding, steers with a strong hand.
𝐏repared for the rough ocean, and all it may bring,
𝐌asters of self, on the cusp of the wing.
𝐀ll fears now conquered, by courage profound,
𝐍ew horizons beckon, on the academy’s hallowed grounds.
