Hey guys!!! It's finally here! I have been very busy lately because I'm already preparing for my next vessel assignment. That means I have to report to the office all the time for processing, training and all that stuff. Which also means I will be going back onboard a ship in a few weeks time so I will be able to make new episodes of Seaman Vlogs with topics which a lot of you have requested!!! In the mean time, I hope you enjoy this video. This is how we welcome new cadets to our school. I'll probably be able to make one more PMMA video before I go back to sea. And that will be about the Oath-taking of the new 4th Class Midshipmen! We will find out how many of the 389 probationary midshipmen successfully survived the Probationary Period and qualify to be accepted as full-fledged members of the PMMA Corps of Midshipmen. 😀👍
Here is to hoping and praying you get a Great Ship and awesome shipmates as you head back to sea. Fair Winds and Following Seas Chief. Maraming Maraming Salamat P.O.
8 years from now titignan ko ulit tong comment ko na ito at alam ko sa sarili ko na kakayanin ko ang lahat at gagawin ko ang aking makakaya at magtiwala sa sarili.
I was in the United States Navy, and after watching this I can say I am impressed. I can see why PMMA graduates professional, skilled, and honorable cadets. You have a great Vlog channel. Congratulations Chief.
Been sailing with Filipinos all my years at sea, they were made to be seaman, their commitment to their families and also their dedication to work is truly impressive, also they know how to have a good time and are always cheerful no complaints. These videos really put a smile on my face.. I miss the life on board truly.
Grabe pala pinag daanan ng asawa ko , nakaka proud Nalagpasan niya lahat dati kinukwento lang niya mga pinag daanan niya pero dahil dito sa video naimagine ko na kung paano naging buhay niya bilang kadete noon sa pmma ♥️♥️♥️
I'm proud of myself for all my accomplishment. It's very inspiring, naalala ko lahat nang nangyare saken nung 4th class cadet ako. Isa ito sa hindi ko malilimutan na karanasan ko sa buhay ko. Isa rin ito sa nagpatatag at nagpalakas ng loob ko upang pumasok sa mundo ng pagiging isang MARINONG PILIPINO. HINDI AKO SUSUKO!!! 💪
I am a old sea man, retired merchant engineer in South Korea. I graduated Mokpo Maritime University in 1979, this video clip reminded me the time of the first day in school. As you guys know our country has law of military serive duty for 2-3years, my school required to be a cadet of Navy ROTC for all student at that time. I was happy to watch this video and so proud of myself overcoming all the course of academy and ROTC, and I learned not to give up until I pay all my efforts though the whole life. Thanks for great video clip.
Yung sister ko nasa pmma din dati pag nakakausap namin sya kahit thru phone masaya na kami. Akala ko nun nag iinarte lang sya hindi ko alam na ganto pala ginagawa sakanila kasi hindi naman sya makwento na tao habang pinapanuod ko to naiiyak ako kasi sobrang grabe yung pinag daanan nya plus sasakay pa sya ng barko matagal tagal ko syang hindi makikita. Aja aja sainyong lahat wag kayo susuko tandaan nyo after ng lahat lahat na yan gagaan din buhay nyo iba yung reward pag pinag hihirapan. God bless you all!
Kulang pa po ung nasa vid...may mga mas mahihirap pa po na training pero di pwede ipakita...kac sa military po what you see what you hear if you leave, leave it here...
"Di ako susuko" iyan ang ang salita na itinatak ko sa aking isip. I expected that life in the academy that will not be easy, that I need to bear in mind that I must/should be ready physically and mentally ready. Ganyan ako sa una, sa first day kinaya ko ang lahat pero nagkamali pala ako. I felt that something is wrong in my mind. Na bigla nalang akong nadedepress as days pass by. Habang naglelecture, imbes na kinokopya ko ang nasa harap nagsusulat ako sa papel ko ng mga bagay na nararamdaman ko ng mga nakikita ko sa palagid. Nang tinignan ko ang sinulat may mali bga sakin na parang napaisip ako na "kakayanin ko pa kaya to?", na "itutuloy ko pa ba kung parang habang tumatagal unti unti na rin nalulungkot o pakiramdam ko inaatake na ako ng depresyon". Mahirap magdesisyon nang basta kaya isang buong araw kong pinag isipan ko kung magreresign ba ako o hinde. Nung una nagresign ako pero may lumapit saking 1cl at sinabihan ako "wag kang magreresign, isipin mo ang mga magulang mo, ang mga paghihirap nila sayo. Isipin mo pag natapos mo gaganda buhay mo at ng pamilya mo". Kaya bumalik ako at pinagpatuloy pero nagising nalang ako bigla kinabukasan, naramdaman ko nanaman ang lungkot na pilit na inaangkin ang buong pag iisip ko. Kaya naman nag isip na talaga ako ulit ng isang buong araw kung itutuloy ko na talaga. Kaya Kinabukasan talaga habang tumatakbo kami sinadya kong magpahuli at sinabi ko sa isang 1cl na magreresign na ako. Sabi ko sa sarili ko "it's now or never na talaga to". Alam kong madami akong sinayang na oportunidad at oras sa pagreresign. Mahirap sobra, nakakalungkot na bakit ako nag give up pero naisip ko siguro may will pa si Lord na mas maganda sakin, naisip ko there are other ways to be successful in life. Meron pa ring onting pagsisisi sa akin pero life must go on sabi nga nila. Magtiyaga at mag aral ng mabuti para ipakita mo sa iba na kaya mo in other ways. Sa mga co proby ko na nagresign kaya natin to. Kung balak nating bumalik ulit next year atleast alam na natin kung anong gagawin diba. Idol ko talaga kayong mga nasa loob. Don't quit kaya niyo yan.
Wtf bro pumasok din akong marine transportation tapos Akala ko pa easy easy lang pero military pala pero ngayon kinakaya konaman pero nakakalungkot talaga balak kosana lumipat ng course
RHON TV It does not mean bro that I resigned for just the sake of I'm mentally illed. And to tell you we're not rich so how could you say that we're financially stable. Hindi biro ang depression na pinagdaan ko at maaaring pinagdaanan ng iba mahirap ka man o mayaman, masaya ka man o malungkot tandaan mo minsan sapunto ng buhay nararamdaman din natin ang depresyon. Kaya don't judge me sa kung ano lang nabasa mo
This is so exciting!.. its very challenging and very inspiring... i am one of the passers of the pmmaee 2018...and yet this video gave me a dose of inspiration to join the long blue line.. and chase my dream to become a naval officer.. pangarap ko pa to noong bata pa ako.. at gagawin ko ang lahat para makamit ang pangarap ko.. i cant wait to take the first step towards my dream.. thank you chief for this! 😁😁😊
Great! Every Navy school you go, in every country, it’s always the same! First days as cadet could be scary! I experienced the same “jokes” the same tricks... you learn how to be invisible to the eyes of older cadets and instructors... there is only one law: the rank. There is only one creed: learn to obey first, so you can give orders (and know how much your orders can be annoying) tomorrow.
Very interesting - this brings back memories. I graduated from the Air Force Academy in the United States almost 40 years ago. While PMMA is half a world away from Colorado Springs, the similarities are striking.
As a aspiring PMMA cadet next year I will take on that challenge and will survive. I won't surrender because in order to achieve my dreams I must first go trough that.
Incoming student palang kuya ko sa PMMA this coming School Year, After 5yrs titignan ko ulit ‘tong comment na to at I will be grateful na kinaya ng kuya ko... Claiming It!!✊🏻❤️ God speed.
talagang if u are here you've learnt wat da value and hardwork means. I hope someday i'll be part of them. I'm proud of u guys,keep a good personality & have always dat persistence in order for u to acheive dat success or dreams in life🤗🤔
I'm watching this cause I wanna know the hardships my Dad went thru during his time. My dad and uncle are both alumni of PMMA. My mom's dad worked for 35 years in PMMA and now some of my relatives are still there. I was born inside the grounds of PMMA when it was still in Fort Bonifacio and PMMA will always have a special space in my heart.
Bago mo maisipan pumasok dito, kailangan pag-isipan mo ng matagal. Ihanda mo yung katawan mo sa mabibigat na exercises, lalo na yung emotions mo kailangan matatag. Dahil yun ang unang magpapahina ng loob mo. Dadating point na masasabi mo sa sarili mong namimiss mo na buhay sa labas pero wag kang magpatalo. Isipin mo nalang manhid ka, and you are born to become an elite soldier someday and not just a normal person.
I'm so inlove with the idea of joining the PMMA. But what hindrance me is doubt within myself. I hope I'll overcome this doubt of mine❤ Im still aspiring❤
Wow very impressive👍👍 To those who made it congrats.. To those who did not..never give up..it is mind over body..body should always follow the mind..but get ready if you pass the hard work never ends..but at each days end the reward are immense Great job👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 P.s great post 😁😁 Makes me think some times about stuff in this world..and how much work their is.. Love the blog..stay safe 👍
Great video again, mate. This will definitely be included in the institution's archives as part of her history. Keep on making these videos for the world to know who we really are. My smartest salute to your initiative and efforts. Kudos!
When I was in grade 5, my teacher has a son who is studying at PMMA at that time. When her son once visited our school and started talking about his experiences inside the academy, I knew I wanted to be just like him. From that day, I decided to apply discipline in everything I do in my daily life. However, it was in grade 9 when the hardest event in my life took me by storm - MY MOM HAD A SPONSORSHIP TO WORK IN CANADA. Since mom got a sponsorship to work here in Canada, I knew I needed to choose between my ultimate dream which is to study at PMMA or my family. It was a tough decision but I chose my family over my dream and we migrated here in Canada. And, that’s the reality of life.
I really thank you sir for uploading this video in respond to my/our request.. Godbless po and take care always sir. These really help us to understand ur profession sir.😀😀
thank you so much Sir for continuously inspiring us, the youths who are planning to take Maritime course next year I hope. I wish that I could pass the entrance exam in that Prestigious Maritime Institution hopefully this year and be a Cadet of PMMA soon 😊
Nung bata ako pangarap ko talaga makapasok sa navy kasi sa pamilya namin or buong angkan namin halos magaganda mga posistion like pulis, sundalo mga doctor nursing mga architects pero mas madami yung mga nasa navy coastguard,sundalo at pulis puro matataas mga ranks nila kaya nagpursigi ako hanggang sa na discover ko tong PMMA pinag butihan ko pag aaral ko para makapasok ako sadly nung mag aaly na sana or test for being a cadet sa PMMA na diskubre ko na may mild levo scoliosis at di ako natanggap tinry ko nalang pumasok sa ibang schools and naging officer pako kaso patagal ng patagal dumadsmi naririnig ko lalo na pag sa medical na malabong makasampa at makapag navy ang may mild levo scoliosis so ayun na hanggang sa sabi ko kung mag gi give up ako walang mangyayare sakin inabanggan ko yung sabi nila samin na yung mga officers mag MS3 sa summer sobrang excited ako kasi for sure pag naka graduate kami kahit papano may chance nako dun i mean kahit sinabi nilang malabo nag babasakali ako so i took every opportunity and chance para makamit ko yung pangarap ko sadly nung nag ka covid 19 nawal yung training di na natuloy so dumating ako sa point na nalungkot dahil dun na naisip kong wala na talaga akong pag asa to the point na nawala na tuluyan yung pagiging officer ko kasi di narin ako nakapag enroll ngayon yung sa online class dahil sa kawalan ng pera dahil nawalan din ng trabaho parents ko untill na depressed nako dahil parang nawala nalang lahat sakin katulad nung mga pangarap ko ngayon di nako nag aaral at di rin ako makapag trabaho dahil sa mild levo scoliosis ko sabi ko naman mild lang and kaya ko naman mag trabaho pero ewan bat natatanggihan ako hayyysss sobrang hirap na talaga
malalampasan mo rin yang problema mo, kung pangarap mo yan may paraan hindi naman tayo nag-uunahan sa pagkamit ng pangarap natin, basta tiwala lang sa sarili mo sa mga kakayahan mo, baka may ibang plano ang Diyos para sayo, makakamit mo rin yang gusto mo kahit matagal man basta huwag lang susuko at magpursigi. Dasal lang palagi at huwag paghinaan ng loob. Kaya mo yan. Good luck. God Bless
IN THE FUTURE BABALIKAN KO TONG COMMENT KO NA TO. ALAM KONG KAKAYANIN KO 'TONG PAGSUBOK NA TATAHAKIN KO PARA SA AKING PANGARAP! KELANGAN LANG NG SIPAG AT TIYAGA UPANG MAKAMIT ITO! I BELIEVE U SELF!
thank u so much sir for that video,at least i know somehow what is happening so far in the academy.hope to see the final video on their oathtaking .my son is one among the probies now,missing him 'though,but i instill in his mind that the training will MAKE him and who he will be someday.I hope he will be among the oathtakers next week.GODBLESS YOU SIR ON YOUR NEXT BOARDING.
Yung isang bagay na pinaghihirapan pag napagtagumpayan sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam. Daming pagsubok sa buhay pero dapat isa puso at isa isip DOnT Ever Quit!!! 💪💪💪
Thanks for the video chief! My husband is also graduated in the academy and he’s been telling me about what happened there. And I also been looking for a videos of life inside the academy but unfortunately I haven’t even found one video 😩 Now I’m done in visualizing those stories. One more thing I’ve already watched your thailand vlog, it does really make sense. 👌🏻
year 2000 January kumuha ako ng Qualifying exam. March 2000 when I my high school office gave me a letter from the PMMA informing me of passing the exam. I went to San Narsizo, Zambales for the final tests to be accepted. I passed the required hight but didn't undergo the Neuro Psychological test due to me failing the Ishihara test. I already knew I am a color blind before even knowing there is such a test regarding colors. Nakita lang namin yung mga final tests upon arriving sa Zambales. Malas ko talaga. Natawa na lang ako kasi pag nagbibilyar nga kami di inaalam ko pa at lalapitan kung alin ang numero 4 at numero 2. If you cannot notice differences regarding color's lighter and darker shades then you wont get the chance to qualify to the PMMA. trust me
Sana makapasa ako, sobrang successful na ng kuya ko ngayon, kaya palaging sinasabi ng mama at papa ko na kapag nakapasa ako wag na wag daw ang susuko isipin ko lang daw na magiging successful din ako katulad ng kuya ko mahirap lang talaga sa una. "Kung nakaya ng kuya mo kaya mo din" paulit ulit sinasabi ng mama ko
I took an examination last september but i didnt pass, i really know that God haa a better plan for me😇 so i entered in TIP MANILA in a course of Marine Transportation.
Hi take time to read my 3am thoughts :'( lumabas na naman sa yt ko to, sobra pa din akong nanghihinayang sa sinapit ko na disqualification dahil sa cyst na never naman sumakit at umiinda, pinakapangarap ko maging kadete at marino at alam kong ito ang tulay para sa pangarap ko. I passed the entrance examination at Neuro Exam pinag hirapan at pinag trabahuhan ko lahat mg proseso at mga pambayad sa medical at lahit aning compliance 1 week nalang bago ang orientation nakatanggap ako ng mail na DQ ako pero di ko nataning ang dahilan dahil walang yung dr. Pero sa kaloob looban ko alam kona kung ano, sobrang basag ako g mga araw na yun yung tipo na malapit kana sa peak ng pangarap mo tas bigla kang lalagapak sa pinaka ibudhuran hanggang ngayon dahan dahan ko pa din binubuo ang sarili ko nawawala man ako sa landas na gusto kong tahakin pa tuloy pa din ako maging positibo sa mga hamon sa buhay hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa din nakikita ang purpose ko sa buhay nagpapadala nalang ako sa agos ng alon o baka hindi pa binibigay ni lord ang para sakin nagiging patient nalang ako sa mga nangyayari dahil alam ko one day matutupad ko din to o kaya baka kahit physically at mentally ready ako nung panahon na yun e baka hindi academically so ayun ngayon naipasa ko uli ang entramce exam at sumusubok sa pangalawang pagkakataon hindi na ako umaasa na tulad noon pero who knows? Kung nabasa mo hanggang dito mag pa tuloy ka lang sa pangarap mo patience is a virtue kahit anong hamon ng buhay ay lumaban ka lang kahit hindi mo makamit basta sinubukan mo. Goodnight ♥️
Napaka swerte talaga ng makakapasok sa PMMA napakahirap talaga pagdadaanan maraming exam ang dapat maipasa mo at malaki rin ang gagastosin mo. Pero worth it talaga ang pagod at hirap mo pag nakapasok ka. Sayang talaga di ako pinalad
But there is another look when they arrive at the gate, there is a glow about their faces, some of which is pride in what they are about to do and a readiness to do it.
This is why I chose to study in a private school rather than PMMA even though I passed the written entrance tests and I’m physically and intellectually fit for the training. PMMA’s true mission is to raise Marine Corps/ Coastguards not Merchant Marines. But this academy gives a chance for poverty-stricken Filipinos to become Seamen. So if you can’t afford private colleges, you better not complain with the kind of education this academy gives you.
Ngayon na grade 10 palang ako, kailangan ko nang maging fit para makayanan ko tung challenges para kay tatay ko na dati ring seaman. Para din sa aking kinabukasan. Kaya ngayon nag CAT officer ako at sigurado ako na masmahirap ang traning na ito kaysa sa training ko noong CAT cadet ako.
Future self if you're seeing this, don't give up, trust yourself, enjoy the moment, be tough, and trust the process of God. You will succeed, and you'll be one of them.
hello sir makoi,i used to be a seaman ,the engine cadet. i work in xt shipping,also there are lots of filipino seaman, as u know ,in china we not training cadet in university like this way, just learn theory and learn something like that, so mostly student escape to join seaman life, because we think small salary and worse future for that.and sinocrew(seaman training company) there are use that way(like the way in video) for training cadet. i have been part of training , but still mostly cadet finish they marine life,.nowday,we can earn more salary than seaman, seaman only some poor man chose it. i think philippines have good system(training , salary ,signon/off,promotion,etc) of seaman.nice vlog for everyone who wanna join seaman life, thats correct vaule mind here.
Chief Makoi, When is the Reception Day for 2020? It would be great to be able to witness it. I joined the US Navy in Olongapo in 1979. Although not as tough as this PMMA process, I have gone through a similar and easier process in boot camp. I am now retired from the US Navy and a businessman in Virginia. I would like to time my next vacation to witness this great event. Thank you. Chief Bong
