On this Day of Valor, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of the heroes who fought for our nationโ€™s freedom.

Their bravery reflects the values we carry at seaโ€”resilience in rough conditions, unwavering determination, and the strength to stand our ground when it matters most. Just as they faced uncertainty with courage, we too are called to navigate the seas with integrity, teamwork, and a deep sense of responsibility.

May their legacy guide us not only as Filipinos, but as mariners in the makingโ€”ready to serve, endure, and uphold honor wherever our journey takes us.

A night full of creativity, wits, passion and care for the earth was felt in the DCSP CSC-NSA Dormitory as the cadets observed Earth Hour in a different wayโ€”taking part in the movement with a runway.

The cadets showed off their creativity with their eco warrior attire pieces made out of natural and recycled materials, a cherry on top for this environmental movement during the Mr. and Ms. Earth Hour 2026. As part of this initiative, they have proved that even from scratches, something powerful and undeniably beautiful can rise.

The event reminded the cadets that they are here with purpose. To embody not just beauty, but responsibility, and a deep love for our Earth.

Earth Hour reminds us that even small actions can have a significant impact. By turning off our lights, we can work together to raise awareness about climate change and protect our only home.

Let this hour serve as a catalyst for long-term changeโ€”the Earth needs us now more than ever.

๐—œ๐—ก ๐—ฃ๐—›๐—ข๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฆ | STร–DIG CONFERENCE: WHERE EXCELLENCE REACHES NEW HEIGHTS

Anchored in learning, growth, and meaningful engagement, the STร–DIG cadets of DMMA College of Southern Philippines embarked on an enriching 2-day journey into maritime excellence.

The first day opened with a solemn prayer, the national anthem, and welcome remarks, setting the tone for a day of insight and collaboration. Industry leaders from Stodig Ship Management, including Mr. Erik W. Mohn (Director, Crewing) and Mr. Anis Solberg (Managing Director), led discussions on high-risk rules and regulations. They also emphasized awareness of harassment and bullying, cultural awareness, assertive communication, financial literacy, and the Stodig safety culture. The day also featured breakout sessions that encouraged active participation, idea-sharing, and teamwork among cadets.

The second day focused on both professional and personal development. It included sessions on mental health, crew benefits, provident fund, seafarersโ€™ rights, and the crew planning process. Cadets also gained valuable knowledge about government benefits such as SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG, alongside discussions on STCW and maritime compliance. The conference highlighted cadet excellence through presentations from Batch 28 UCLM and Batch 29 DMMA, followed by closing activities including an audio-visual presentation by the STODIG crew, a wrap-up, and certificate distribution.

Over the span of two days, cadets gained knowledge, strengthened their essential skills, and drew inspiration from experienced maritime professionals. Preparing them to navigate their future careers with confidence and responsibility.

The cadets express their sincere appreciation to all the speakers, organizers, and participants who made this conference a great success. Together, we continue to prepare the next generation of seafarers for a safer and stronger maritime industry.

Love doesnโ€™t always come when weโ€™re searching for it; sometimes it arrives in the most unexpected moments, unannounced and unplanned. Like the vast ocean, love is wide, deep, and impossible to fully chart. We donโ€™t always set sail looking for it, yet somewhere between the calm tides and unexpected waves, it finds our shore. In a sea so endless, itโ€™s strange and beautiful how two drifting hearts can still meetโ€”reminding us that even in the vastness, we are never truly lost.

As the new second semester begins, the cadets of the NSA Cadet Program sail again towards new challenges. Every assessment is not just a measure of knowledge gained, but a measure of discipline, strength, and courage to face new experiences. Like the sea that is never still, the journey of a cadet goes onโ€”a journey that is stronger, wiser, and ready to rise with the new tides.

"Even in the middle of nowhere, Iโ€™m exactly where Iโ€™m meant to be," I think to myself, staring into the seemingly endless ocean.

A porthole does something strangeโ€”it makes the vastness feel intimate. The sea stretches endlessly beyond it, but the frame gathers the horizon into something personal, almost fragile. The sunset spills soft pink across the water, and for a moment, the vastness outside feels close enough to touch.

Inside the cabin is shelter.
Outside, the ocean carries on.
And somehow, I belong to both.
