C/E Nina da Silva is first female Chief Engineer.

"First female" has become synonymous to the amazing Nina da Silva. From first female employee on board, to first female engineer officer, to first female CHIEF Engineer. Her story is a beautiful story of strength, persistence, patience, and humility. Mabuhay po kayo Chief Engineer Nina, you are an inspiration to us all.

Involvement in Search and Rescue Operations maybe one of the most crucial and yet overlooked part of being in the merchant marines. A big salute to our Sir's of MV Taiko of Wilhelmsen ASA!

Its the craziest yet the greatest feeling being on the front lines of chaos in these things. All thanks for everyone who partied with the Vikings last night, to all school officials, instructors and staff who stayed up way,way past work hours to gaze our humble gathering. And to all juniors who broke backs and tore muscles to comply orders from the preparation to restoration to push the event through. In behalf of the technical, program and food committees, thank you all.

Here's to the undying brotherhood of the Corps, more successful endeavors through cooperation and unity!
