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.

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

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

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

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
signed a bill into law that brings all matters relating to seafarers' training and certification
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
process in the Philippines. He believes that the new measures will further improve the
standards. Indeed, it was a great honour and pleasure to have met and talked to Capt. FR
Chowdhury, a co- AFNI in this global maritime world!

“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

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

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.
