Hailing from the vast plains of Isabela to the rolling hills of Cagayan and the quiet strength of Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino, Midshipmen from Region II carry with them the resilience shaped by land and river. Raised in communities where agriculture and hard work define daily life, they learned early the value of patience, discipline, and perseverance, which are traits forged under the heat of the sun and strengthened by the steady flow of the Cagayan River. These foundations prepared them for the demanding life within the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy.

Inside the Academy, the challenges were no different from the struggles they had known, only greater. The long days, strict routines, and physical and mental tests mirrored the endurance of farmers in the fields and the determination of families who work tirelessly for a better future. Drawing strength from their roots, midshipmen from the Cagayan Valley learned to adapt, to lead, and to stand firm under pressure, transforming hardship into growth and responsibility.

As they continue their journey toward becoming officers, they carry not only their personal ambitions but also the pride of their provinces. Each step forward reflects the sacrifices of their families and the lessons of their homeland. Grounded in humility and driven by purpose, they stand ready to navigate the seas, bringing with them the unwavering spirit of Cagayan Valley wherever duty calls.

Before the uniforms and behind every triumph, there was her.

The first voice that sang me courage,
the first hands that guided me on how to stand,
and the first heart that believed in me
long before I believed in myself.

Through every demand and challenge that tested who I amโ€”
I carried more than my own dreams.
Because behind every salute and every step I take forward
is a mother who quietly gave pieces of herself so I could become whole.

So with every rank earned and every lesson learned,
I do not walk alone.
I carry the light that showed me the right path and gave me the strength to keep going.

And if one day I become everything I aspire to be,
a part of that victory will always belong to the woman who sacrificed everything for meโ€”my mother.

Happy Motherโ€™s Day to all mothers who work tirelessly and stand behind dreams that may never be their own, yet choose every day to make them possible. Your love and strength inspire more than words can ever express.

From the rugged mountains of Mountain Province to the coastal towns of La Union, Pangasinan, and Ilocos Sur, Midshipmen of the Ilocos Region carry the spirit of their homeland wherever they go. Growing up amidst vast rice terraces, the crashing waves of the West Philippine Sea, and the hardworking communities of Ilocos, they learned resilience, patience, and the value of every opportunity. These early lessons became the foundation for their journey at PMMA, where dreams of serving at sea demanded the same dedication they had shown in their provinces.

Life at the Academy tested their limits, from grueling drills to the discipline of early formations and the responsibilities of leadership. But the Ilocos Midshipmen draw strength from the landscapes of their upbringing, from the perseverance of farmers facing sun and rain, the courage of fishermen braving stormy seas, and the tight-knit support of families who taught them the importance of commitment. These lessons translate into teamwork, adaptability, and steadfastness, qualities essential for a future officer navigating the vast, unpredictable ocean.

Now, as they take on the challenges of onboard training and rise through the ranks, these cadets embody the resilience and pride of their provinces. Each success, each lesson learned, is a tribute to their roots and the sacrifices of their families. From the mountains to the coastlines, Midshipmen from Region of Ilocos are proof that discipline, determination, and faith, shaped by the land that raised them, forge officers ready to face the waves of life and service at sea.

Their journey at the Academy is marked by sacrifice and growth. Long hours of training, homesickness, and the demands of leadership pushed them beyond comfort zones, teaching lessons in responsibility, resilience, and teamwork. From probationary days to international onboard training, they learned to navigate both literal and figurative waves, discovering confidence, adaptability, and the strength to overcome challenges.

These midshipmen from the Cordillera Administrative Region bring the resilience and determination shaped by life in the mountains. Hailing from Tabuk, Mountain Province, and La Trinidad, these cadets carry with them the values of hard work, family, and perseverance. Even before entering PMMA, many faced challenges like balancing studies, helping their families, and adapting to changing circumstances, preparing them for the discipline and rigors of Academy life.

Today, they embody courage, discipline, and a commitment to their dreams. Guided by principles such as perseverance, faith, and integrity, they demonstrate that every hardship builds tomorrowโ€™s triumph. As they prepare for careers at sea, CAR cadets stand ready to lead, inspire, and honor the sacrifices that brought them to this path.

Midshipmen from the National Capital Region come from the heart of the countryโ€™s bustling cities, bringing with them the resilience and determination shaped by urban life. From Tondo to Novaliches, these young cadets have faced challenges both at home and in the Academy, learning early the value of discipline, hard work, and perseverance.

Their journey at the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy is marked by sacrifices, from the long hours of training, homesickness, and the discipline of daily routines, but also by growth, leadership, and camaraderie. Every day, they balance the responsibilities of being both students and emerging leaders, proving that determination and dedication can overcome even the toughest challenges.

Through their experiences, Midshipmen from NCR embody courage, faith, and a commitment to service. They remind us that success is not measured only by achievements, but by the character, resilience, and integrity forged along the way. These cadets are not only preparing to navigate the seas, but they're also shaping themselves to lead, inspire, and make a difference wherever life takes them.

โ€Ž
โ€ŽA step forwardโ€”from being the tiger, to something more.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽI used to walk a step behind,
โ€Žobeying and following every order,
โ€Žwatching those ahead of me,
โ€Žquietly telling myself,
โ€Žone day, Iโ€™ll become the kind of senior
โ€ŽI once needed as a junior
โ€Ž
โ€ŽNow, I walk ahead.
โ€ŽFrom being the one who followed,
โ€ŽIโ€™ve become the one others follow.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThe same lessons that once weighed on my shoulders,
โ€ŽI now pass onโ€”not perfectly, but enough to leave a mark.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAnd soon, theyโ€™ll take my place,
โ€Žcarrying the same lessons I now leave behind,
โ€Žlike footprints pressed in the sand.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIt was never a sudden change.
โ€ŽIt was shaped by time,
โ€Žby discipline,
โ€Žby sleepless nights,
โ€Žand by storms that taught me
โ€Žhow to stand my ground.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAnd now, beyond these grounds,
โ€Ža wider horizon waits.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThereโ€™s excitement in the unknownโ€”
โ€Žin standing watch beneath open skies,
โ€Žin hearing steel hum beneath your feet,
โ€Žin feeling the sea move as if itโ€™s calling your name.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThis isnโ€™t just promotion.
โ€ŽItโ€™s the beginning of the life weโ€™ve been preparing for.

Halos magutay na ang sintas ng sapatos kakabuhol-pigtas sa kakaparuo`t parito sa pasikot-sikot na sentrong sanayan. Gisak-gisak na ang gilid ng itim na balat buhat sa mariing hakbang nang pagmartsa sa kalawakan ng lupang paradahan at gasgas na ang suwelas sa kakalakad sa matalas na kalsada ng mahal na Akademya, makalipas ang halos dalawang taong pagsasanay upang maihanay sa asul na linya sa hinaharap.

Wala na ang kintab. Pudpod na ang gomang tapakan. Luma, marupok, at sira-sira na.

Tanda ng mahabang oras na inilaan at lumipas. Mga umagang ibinabangon ng kagustuhang mairaos ang isang araw at mga gabing karamay ang alinlangan sa dilim at nag-aasam mapalipas ang isang buwan.

Salamat sa mga aral na tinahak lulan ng gasgas na suwelas. Mga ala-alang hatid ng bawat hakbang papalayo mula sa tahanan at bawat yabag papalapit sa pinangarap na kinabukasan.

Sa bawat haplos ng kiwi, bawat pusit ng tubig, at bawat hagod ng bulak ay representasyon sa pagkaperpekto na sana isang araw, ay hindi na kailangan pang gumising ng maaga at ulit-ulitin ang naturang iisang gawi.

Oras na para mapalitan at namnamin ang bagong sapatos.

Oras na para Itabi pabalik sa lumang kahon ang pares, at sariwain ang maiiwan na makabuluhang pinagsamahan.

Mas makinang, mas komportable, at mas matibay.

Ito ay panibagong responsibilidad na dadalhin at isusuot buhat sa mga pagsubok na dinanas kahapon at magiging gabay sa mga susunod na pagkakataon. Simbolo ng malaking transpormasyon ng iyong katauhan na humamon at kalauna`y naging kampeon laban sa sarili mong kompetisyon.

Hindi na kailangan pang patungan at kuskusin nang magmukhang bago. Hindi na kailangan pang gumising ng mas maaga, punas-bahid, at magpaulit-ulit. Hindi na ipipilit, umabot sa katapusan ang paggamit sapagkat mayroon ng kapalit.

Mas matapang, mas maasahan, at mas mahusay.

Sa bawat bakas ng suwelas na maiiwan ay s`yang magiging katibayan at palatandaan na minsan isang araw, ito ay naging daan tungo sa bawat tagumpay.

Today, we commemorate Labor Day, honoring the strength and dedication of Filipino workers, the driving force behind our nation's progress. From land to sea, their work and sacrifices continue to shape a brighter future for all of us.

Their commitment shows resilience, discipline, and a sense of duty. In every task they do, they carry the pride of the Filipino spirit and the hope for a stronger tomorrow.

On behalf of the PMMA Corps of Midshipmen, we extend our highest salute to every Filipino worker.

Long live the Filipino workforce!

๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐—œ๐—–๐—ฆ I ๐——-๐——๐—ฎ๐˜†
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBefore the dream,
โ€ŽI believed courage was enoughโ€”
โ€Žsteady steps, head held high,
โ€Žthinking strength meant standing alone.
โ€ŽI told myself,
โ€Žthis is what I prepared for.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽInside, the dream became blurry.
โ€ŽI slowly lost sight.
โ€ŽEventually, I lost myself.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽDays were heavier than I imagined.
โ€ŽThe struggle was constantโ€”
โ€Žhomesickness, so evident,
โ€Žlonging for voices, for warmth,
โ€Žfor the simplest sense of home
โ€ŽI never realized I would miss so much.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽRecognition day came,
โ€Žbut my family did not.
โ€ŽI told myself there were reasonsโ€”
โ€Žthe distance was far,
โ€Žtime was unkind,
โ€Žand they were not as young as before.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBut I understood.
โ€ŽI told myself it was enough
โ€Žthat they knew I was trying, surviving alone,
โ€Žthat somewhere, they were proud.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThen my eyes caught shadows.
โ€ŽAmong all the faces,
โ€ŽI saw familiar ones under the sunโ€™s rays.
โ€ŽThere they were.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽTears came without permission.
โ€ŽSo this is how it feelsโ€”
โ€Žto have someone show up for you,
โ€Žnot because you asked,
โ€Žbut because they chose to.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIn that moment,
โ€ŽI regained my sight, and the dream became clear again.
โ€ŽI realized something simple and true:
โ€ŽI was never alone after all.
