Eighteen Grade 11 learners from the Maritime STEM 2 – Maritime Specialization class of Olongapo City National High School (OCNHS) participated in a ship familiarization activity aboard BRP Rajah Sulayman (PS-20) and BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PS-41) at the Naval Operating Base Subic on June 11, 2026.

The activity was conducted through the partnership of the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) Research Unit and Academic Extension Service Unit to strengthen maritime education among partner schools in Olongapo City and Bataan.

Rear Admiral Joe Anthony Cabahug-Orbe, the 38th Commander of the Philippine Fleet, together with Navy officers, warmly welcomed the students and their delegation. The group toured and boarded the two vessels, where the learners were oriented on naval operations, maritime security, and the critical role of the Philippine Fleet in safeguarding the country’s maritime territories.

As one of the first beneficiaries under MAAP’s eight adopted maritime programs, OCNHS-SHS was given the opportunity to expose its students to actual shipboard operations, navigation systems, and potential career paths in the maritime industry.

Joining the visit were Schools Division Office officials: Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Ilyne S. Samonte, CESE; Curriculum Implementation Division Chief Dr. Eleonor C. Cayabyab; School Governance and Operations Division Chief Ricardo E. Ednao; Division SHS Focal Person Dr. Corazon B. Dumlao; and Public Schools District Supervisor Rosa Jhade T. Valiente.

The activity highlighted the strong collaboration between the Philippine Navy, MAAP, the Department of Education – Schools Division of Olongapo City, and OCNHS in providing meaningful experiential learning opportunities and shaping the next generation of competent maritime professionals.
