Bringing Opportunities Closer to Aspiring Cadets in Baguio City
Today, October 4, 2026, the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) team visited Baguio City National High School in Baguio City, Benguet as part of its continuing efforts to bring information and opportunities closer to aspiring cadets and their families.
Bringing the MAAP Entrance Examination to areas such as Baguio City, similar to our initiative in La Union, is important because it gives qualified students from Northern Luzon greater access to an opportunity that could potentially change the course of their future. Conducting the examination closer to their communities helps lessen the challenges of travel, transportation, and other expenses that applicants and their families may encounter when traveling to distant examination centers.
More importantly, these initiatives allow students to learn about the scholarship and educational opportunities offered through MAAP, which may provide qualified cadets with access to quality maritime education, training, and the opportunity to pursue a career in the maritime industry. By bringing the examination closer to communities, more deserving and talented young Filipinos are given the chance to discover and pursue this opportunity.
The success of this initiative would not be possible without the support of schools and local communities that open their doors to MAAP. We sincerely thank the administration, faculty, parents, students, and cadets who assisted our team during the visit.
MAAP remains committed to reaching more communities and ensuring that distance does not become a barrier for deserving young Filipinos who aspire to become future maritime professionals.
From La Union to Baguio City and beyond, MAAP continues to bring opportunities closer to those who dream of a better future through maritime education.
