INTRODUCTION

The primary goal and advocacy towards ASEAN 2015 integration is to contribute to realizing

an ASEAN maritime community that is people centered and socially responsible with a view

to building an inclusive and cohesive society where the well-being, livelihood and welfare of

the peoples are enhanced. The MAAP and PAEPI voyage plans envision the following

characteristics: human development, social welfare, protection, and social justice, rights,

ensuring environmental sustainability, building the ASEAN identity and narrowing the

development gap. The MAAP and PAEPI contribution mirrors the ASEAN commitment in

building a caring and sharing community by 2015 thru the accomplishment of the

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs present 8 sets of goals and targets for

improving the well-being and reducing poverty in its broadest sense that are in line with the

purposes of ASEAN. She joins ASEAN by contributing its share in the attainment of the 8

MDGs: MDG 1(poverty); MDG 2 (education); MDG 3 (gender); MDGs 4, 5and 6 (Health);

MDG 7 (environment) and MDG 8 (global partnerships) by focusing on the 5 key factors

namely: Advocacy and linkages, knowledge, resources, expertise and regional cooperation.

These factors are not meant to be specific but rather a foundation or basis upon which one

can refine and transform into actions, to support global partners in accelerating the MDG

attainment. Various work programs or activities and initiatives which may have relevance to

the specific MDGS are presented upon which others can emulate and can plan a way forward

for supporting MDGs and ASEAN 2015.

This paper identifies the progress, common challenges and lessons learned and good practices

in global partnership to alleviate poverty and narrow the development gap thru mutual

assistance and cooperation; promote sustainable development so as to ensure among others,

the high quality of life of its people; to develop human resources through closer cooperation

in education and life-long learning and to enhance the well-being and livelihood of the

peoples of ASEAN by providing them, with equitable opportunities for human development,

social welfare and justice.

METHODOLOGY

This research (formal and informal) is based on direct access to facts, information from data

bank classified as archival consist of primary and secondary documents .This is a qualitative

study that relies on 3 basic data gathering techniques: observation, interviews and social

artifact (usually documents) content analysis . Each of these techniques represents a

continuum of from less to more structured. Systematic research methodology was used

wherein the collection of facts and potential useful data are achieved through direct

observation or through gathering from records chronologically from January 2013 to

December 2014. These are all recorded thoroughly, accurately and systematically using field

notes, video and audiotapes, photographs and other suitable means. Observation is the

process by which facts become data. Conclusions are drawn based upon hard evidences

gathered from information collected from real life experiences or observations (Empirical)

by the researcher herself.

DISCUSSION/FINDINGS

On January 4, 2013 (still vacation and no classes at MAAP) was the

visit of the Incheon National Maritime High School (INM) Officials

(Vice –Principal of INM and Ms. Song) to discuss MOA for a

maritime senior high school (SHS) scholarships (basic maritime

education grade 11 and 12 in South Korea for MAAP qualified and

interested scholars) for possible signing in March 2013. It must be

noted that INM had MOA signed with MAAP for sending top INM

Korean graduate as paying student at MAAP since 2009. However, was not successful

because the Korean students gave up after the 2-month Indoctrination Period and decided to

study in Korea instead. Hence, instead of sending Korean students at MAAP, INM officials

opted to sponsor Filipinos to study in Korea, for the MAAP and INM partnerships.

On January 16, 2013 – Welcome Dinner for the arrival of the

Baekryeoang High School (BHS). Korean teachers and students at

Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) for their one-month

English Training Program with Dr. Baylon as an invited guest who

delivered message It must be noted that MAAP was responsible in

introducing BHS Korea to BPSU for the English Training Program of

the paying Korean students with MOA signing held at MAAP campus

on August 11, 2012 wherein BPSU, BHS, PAEPI and Bataan Christian High School (BCS)

were all thankful for the opportunity with MAAP as venue and host for the international

cooperation and MOA signing. The photo-documentation report is shown at link

http://www.mediafire.com/view/ws8igqbly83a903/ext_PDF_OF_MOU_MOA_OF_MAAP

_WITH_BHS.pdf ). To date, BHS Korea sends their students and teachers to BPSU for

English Training twice a year contributing to the vision of the Province of Bataan as a

Global University Campus.

City, Dr. Baylon having learned that JBLMFU has a maritime high

school had requested for its curriculum so MAAP may connect

JBLMFU to INM Korea, however, she was not provided the requested curriculum until she

left. Aware of the $50,000 scholarship per student (all free) for the interested Filipinos, Dr

Baylon prepared a 26-page proposal using the MAAP curriculum basic maritime subjects

vis-à-vis the 5 maritime INM subjects which MAAP supported as long as government

agencies would recognize the initiatives and there are interested Filipinos/parents

willing to avail of the good educational grants and cultural opportunities.

WILKIPEDIA defines Professors as : qualified experts who generally perform the

following: manage the teaching, research and publications in their departments; conduct

lectures and seminars in their specialties (i.e., they "profess"); provide pro bono

community service, including consulting functions (such as advising government and

nonprofit organizations); teach campus-based or online courses adopting instructional

technology; mentor young aspiring academics (graduate students); Conduct

administrative or managerial functions, usually at a high level (e.g. deans, heads of

departments, etc.) and assess students in their fields of expertise; and other roles of

professorial tasks depend on the institution, its legacy, protocols, place (country), and

time. For example, professors at research-oriented universities in the U.S.A,

Canada and, European universities, are promoted primarily on the basis of research

achievements and external fund- raising success. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor,

It is from this conference that Dr Baylon was approached by the NI President Capt Krish,

FNI if MAAP could assist in the membership expansion of the Nautical Institute in the

Philippines, She responded positively because MAAP is led by its pioneer president VAdm

Santos who is also the Exec VP of AMOSUP composed of more than 80,000 seafarers. The

same has been reported to MAAP President upon return and as expected VAdm Santos

approved the NI request. Dr Baylon facilitated the needed requirements based on the request

of external institution based in London (NI). This is a positive indicator that MAAP is well-

13

recognized globally as an institution that can be relied on for international linkage and

cooperation. Both VAdm Santos and Dr Baylon are Associate Fellows of Nautical Institute in

London, with Dr Baylon as the only lady and not a master mariner nor an Admiral

Educational and International Policy division) as the

proponent of the said study. After the successful activities hosted by MAAP (NRCP

monitoring and evaluation of the funded research project cum presentation of the studies to

MAAP community and PAEPI activity with DOST Regional Director as GOH and

speaker), in 2013, Dr Baylon received commendations in a form of a poems from reputable

personalities in the scientific community. One from the NRCP and the other from the DOST.

From the National Research Council of the Philippines the poem is entitled:

“The Mermaid in the Pacific” which reads as follows:

“There is the -Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific in Mariveles

A neighbor of the- Philippines Historic Corregidor Island,

With a Research Director likened to a precious gem;

Leading the academy towards a future of great aspirations;

An Author, a prominent and distinguished figure

in the field of maritime education research;

Brilliantly helping improve the direction and quality of the country’s academic program

on, among others, marine transportation and commerce.

She is a mermaid reigning triumphantly in the tranquil sea of the Pacific – searching ….

Exploring the ocean’s depth…. for answers to the inquisitions of tomorrow.

A rare pearl whose luster captivates the lonely heart;

A goddess so sincere and demure; She is very beautiful

….

A man’s dream and inspiration;

Dr. Angelica M Baylon – undeniably an angel flapping her wings in the midst of the

waves of the sea”. (NRCP Science Research Specialist II Jimmy Ragos, 2013)

From the Department of Science and Technology (the poem is entitled “The Trees”). The

letter of the DOST Regional Director addressed to MAAP President which was forwarded to

DRES Director reads as follows: Dear Admiral Santos: Thank you very much for your

general hospitality during my visit to the sprawling campus of the Maritime Academy of

Asia and the Pacific. I had been fortunate to have met Dr Angelica M Baylon. My brief stay

in your campus was made possible through her intercession. I must admit though that you

are more fortunate for having someone like her to be working with. I was indeed amazed by

your superb handling of Annual National PAEPI General Assembly and Election of Officers.

I am indeed in deep quandary to pick up the appropriate words to describe her prowess. As

such I took the liberty of adapting the phrases of the poem “Trees “by MS Joyce Kilmer. I

am confident that if Ms Joyce has met your Dr Angie, I would have given the rightful

benediction. Requesting permission to speak freely Sir!

16

I think that I shall never see, A lady as lovely as Dr Angie

An Angie whose hunger desire is prest , Against the sweet MAAP’s flowing breast;

An Angie that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arm to pray

An Angie that may in summer wear, A nest of robin’s in her hair

Upon whose boson snow has lain, Who intimately lives with rain

Angies are appreciated by men like us, But only MAAP has a lady like

Angie – (DOST Regional Director Dr Victoriano B Mariano, 2013)

On July 30, 2013- MAAP President forwarded to DRES, his approval to the request and

invitation letter dated July 26, 2013 by the visionary President of WIMAPHIL (Women in

Maritime Philippines http://www.wimaphil.org/aboutus.asp) Carla S. Limcaoco for Dr.

Baylon to sit as one of the members of Board of Trustees of WIMAPHIL . It is an

organization created to empower women and strengthen their involvement in various

maritime issues. The letter reads:

“We believe that Prof Angelica Baylon, with her years of experience in maritime

education, will be an asset to our organization, it is therefore our intention to invite Prof

Baylon to sit as a member of the Board. As she is currently a member of your Academy, we

hope that you will allow her this opportunity so that our organization can work together

towards the education and empowerment of women in the maritime sector. We thank you for

your favorable consideration

The Maritime industry continues to play a vital role in the

private shipping industries (local and international) that

promote the welfare of the family? What are the

implications of these initiatives to the maritime industry, nation building and integral human

development? These are the basic questions that CRC addressed by bringing together the key

stake holders in the global maritime and shipping industry, education and training. Dr.

and the respective roles of these organizations in the betterment of

professional skills, knowledge and cooperation. He encouraged everyone

to check the websites and to join these good international

organizations.It must be noted that the EMSA (European Maritime

Safety Agency) made a number of visits to assess the training and certification standards in

on EU flagged ships and had provided some recommendations. The Philippine government

took the matter seriously and is taking a number of steps to improve things. Dr. Maximo

Mejia Jr., a professor of the World Maritime University has been appointed as the new

MARINA Administrator. His Excellency President Benigno C. Aquino Jr. has already

35

under MARINA as a single administration. The third step in this

direction is the seminar for common understanding of the Convention

so that all concerned can work together for the common cause. Dr.

Mejia invited Capt. FR Chowdhury, a Visiting Professor of the

WMU who was formerly Deputy Chief Examiner of the UK-MCA

when 1995 version of STCW was implemented in the UK.. Capt. FR

Chowdhury expressed his general satisfaction of the system and

commendation about MAAP and the same is copied in toto below:

“Having visited and briefed About MAAP, we would like MAAP to be introduced at

AUSN, including but not limited to the various strategies and techniques it does in leading

community services within and outside MAAP through various partnerships with

Philippine Association of Extension Program Implementers (PAEPI) , the UNESCO

accredited MAAP-PAEPI Student Club and the National Federation of Centre for

Human Rights education (NFCHRE) to name a few, wherein MAAP, a maritime academy

had served as an initiator , organizer, leader , host and venue for national cooperation

among universities nationwide. MAAP may serve as a unique model to be emulated by

our post graduate students representing varied disciplines as they get inspired to think

ways and means to initiate and lead their respective institution and community. At the end

of the course, the graduate students are expected to be empowered thru submission of a

49

publishable case study or applied research on community service and thru power point

presentation in an international conference with Prof. Baylon’s guidance and mentorship.

MAAP is the only school representing the Philippines and the global maritime sector at

AUSN)

Likewise, in reference to the MOA between MAAP and ASUSN Arizona USA http://au-

sn.com/collaborative-agreements/maritime-academy-of-asia-and-the-pacific-maap/ the

following has been accomplished:

Re-echoed and shared to the American

Natives in the USA the training on Scientific

Writing and ISI publication provided by

NRCP on July 22-23, 2014 in NRCP Bicutan

Taguig. These are in addition to the lectures

prepared on community services, research

impact factors and research-based extension

services for their preparation of papers. As

required, at the end of the course, the native

American post graduate students have

presented their respective papers in the

YPA9 conference. MAAP is now part of

the visiting professor of AUSN faculty of

medicine. http://au-sn.com/faculty-of-

medicine/ and http://au-sn.com/news/news-from-the-provost-may-25-2014/.

In succeeding lectures, there is no need to be in

Arizona as the lectures have been videoed.

Similarly, the forums may also be done via on

line thru skype. AUSN is just a new university

but with noble vision for the American natives

coupled with the support of global institutions

with MAAP included, it would surely prosper. AUSN started with post graduate course

first on public health and bioethics which is a requirement in the USA before AUSN be

authorized to offer a medical school to Native Americans in partnership with a hospital in

Maricopa Community in Phoenix Arizona USA .

TREEDC conference in Tennessee USA to discuss on alternative Energy in Marine Industry,

was in Arizona USA for meetings. I have been introduced to some executives of Arizona

State University and Carbotech Cooperative Inc etc. (Peter Livingston, Robert Shatz, Robert

Hennkens and Joel L Cuello) during the YPA9 Conference, Arizona USA. We had discussed

51

about the project “New Technologies and distributed infrastructure for socially noble,

genetically modified low water non-food pure oil, seed crops, and perpetually sustainable,

readily available and environmentally sensitive organic waste feedstock to produce high

value drop-in transportation and work-related green kerosene, green diesel, green gasoline

and high value motor and engine lubricants“. With permission from YPA9 conference chair

Dr Darryl Macer, they were able to listen to MAAP video presentation and action plans

presented by Dr Baylon. Aside from meeting kind Filipino communities (led by Mr Virgilio

and Mrs Betty Guevara in Arizona), she was also glad to meet her good friend Enrg Andrew

Gizara , owner and CEO of Integrated Power Technology Corporation (“IPTC”) from

California USA. Again cheers to him for goodwill and friendship! They

discussed about IPTC http://www.intpowertechcorp.com/ and various

inventions and patents of Engr. Andrew Gizara

http://www.intpowertechcorp.com/docstat.htm which are maritime related

and shall be introduced in the Philippines at an opportune time because

MAAP supports good initiatives that is cost effective and beneficial to all

concerned.

After this USA academic linkage and networks: with approval from MAAP President, it is

proposed that MAAP to host the International Youth Peace Ambassador Training Workshop

in 2016. Preparation shall form part of MAAP-ERO action plan in partnership with various

youth organizations in the country, the UNESCO and hopefully NRCP. As member of

NRCP, a proposal shall be submitted for the NRCP Division1community outreach activity in

providing research-based proposal writing for international youth to be trained. Further,

having utilized the vast library resources in the US (Arizona, Los Angeles and Nevada), an

NRCP funded research project shall be proposed on Maritime Public Health Maritime

Bioethics and Maritime Cultural and Human Security Issues. AUSN (courtesy of Public

Health Expert AUSN President Dr. Atty Thomas Gionis and Bioethics Expert Provost Dr

Prof Darry Macer) in cooperation with Fulbright Academy of Law, Peace and Public Health.

A 15,000 US dollars educational scholarship for post graduate degree on Bioethics and

Public Health can be availed by interested Filipinos. One of the studies that have been

proposed for the degree is a comparative study of ASEAN (Philippine and Thailand with Ms.

Ananya, General Manager of Eubios Ethics Institute) Public Health/ Bioethics Issues vis –a-

vis USA. Having learned, listened and participated in the classroom discussion some

thoughts and ideas emanated. The complete data from the USA on public health provided by

Dr. Gionis provided much updated insights which are useful especially that MAAP has

AMOSUP hospitals for the medical welfare of the member seafarers as a rich source of data

and information, none would have thought of if not provided the opportunity to join the

classes and listen to the discussions for free in the USA. All these shall be accomplished in

due time with no difficulty because of the data and contacts that have made known because

of the chance to have met people from the USA and Thailand who had promised to support

any MAAP projects on public health and bioethics which is something new as it will be on

global maritime issues. Moreover, to introduce the new found investors from USA about low

cost kerosene, diesel, gasoline and high value motor and engine lubricants production in the

Philippines which are also applicable for use in the vessels. They have forwarded proposal

which is to be studied and coordinated with other agencies/ Bataan as to its applicability and

feasibility to be reported to MAAP President for his directives as part of MAAP external

relations and linkages.
