- The Daily Routine
After uploading a few teaser videos, I finally finished my full video about the daily routine of PMMA Cadets. This video shows a typical day in the life of the Cadets of the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy. From Reveille to TAPS, we go through the whole daily routine and show the unique training style of PMMA, which many maritime schools in the Philippines try so hard to copy.

Special Thanks to The Galleon '18 for some of the video footage that I included in this episode.

Chief MAKOi tanong ko lng po kung alam nyo po ba kung kaylan ang enrollment sa pmma para sa susunod na taon...? Sana po masagot nyo, salamat po.
Entrance exam is held every last Saturday of September.
Thank you po ulit...
As a former U.S. Navy instructor at RTC San Diego, I salute these dedicated and determined young men! I can honestly say that in my four years as an instructor I never met a Filipino recruit who was NOT dedicated and determined! You do your nation PROUD!!!
I couldn´t agree more.
I am 71 years old and have undergone military training. I often wondered about it, but now, in my old age I realize what it is all about. it is about gaining the self discipline to do your job even when you don’t feel like it or are bored.
ah my back hurts looking at that lineup
back in 2001, i was a student ( Cadet Officer ) at Royal Malaysian Naval College. There is 1 pinoy boy name Cadet Roberto in the same class with me. He is a very good person and humble. Miss u Roberto.
I did officer training in the Australian Army in the early 1960s, and the first 6 months were similarly harsh, with punishment drills meted out for every infringement. However we were able to eat in a more relaxed manner thankfully. Physically and mentally it was very challenging, but we were proud of our achievements. I think this training is going to weed out the dreamers for sure.
Man those kids are freaking fit, I'm jealous. But amazing dedication, and all the more power to their future, and success.
My snappiest salute to all cadets and graduates of the tri-service academies of the Philippines...All for one: PMA-PMMA-PNPA!!!
Have you made all of these into a documentary? You have the skill for sure!! To be a chief engineer and also have such skill in video and editing is great!
My brother is PMMA grad and also a battalion commander. He’s well-respected by his juniors because he respected them as well.
Indeed, respect begets respect
Nagsundalo po ba as Navy?
@@leksrosales6882 nagpapachange Ng branch of service ang brother ko from Merchant Marine to Navy pero inabutan sya ng overage dahil sa red tape during Ramos Administration.
@@mariacorazonortega4547 ah ok po, battalion commander sya ng ano po? Sa shipping line po ba?
@@leksrosales6882 nung nag-aaral pa sya sa PMMA
Respect for this training.
Im cadet from indonesian
This training really like millitary navy training. Good job
I quite agree with you ! I'm russian and I visited this academy for the RADAR courses. Discipline of the cadets is on the level high !
I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now. I have an incredible amount of respect for you and those that are apart of you maritime legacy. Watching this video gave me a reminder of my training 20+ years ago as a recruit at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. It good to see that young men and women are still morally charge with carrying the standard and colors and traditions of those that came before them with pride and professionalism. Much respect to you and your alma mater.
Jusko. Di ako pwede diyan. Pagkagising ko ay di pwede bihis agad. Tatae pa ako mga 10 mins.
Savage hahha
techinques dyan bago ka matulog nakaligo kana para kinabukasan tootbrush bihis nlng
Weak
I get constipated/LBM basta gigising ng maaga like 3am-5am😁✌
Masasanay ka naman pag nasa academy kana.
Chief: Are graduates of the Merchant Marine Academy also members of the Philippine Armed Forces?
Oh, I just saw the answer to my question: "They are Reserve Philippine Naval Officers"
I was US Air Force and my Son is US Army, 75th Rangers
When I left the US military, I used the GI bill to pay for my Electrical Engineering University education. I am a fellow engineer.
Dapat ganito lahat maritime school dito sa pilipinas tinuturuan ng disiplina at respeto. Sana tumulong ang PMMA sa mga maritime school na turuan ng disiplina at respeto ang mga kadete.
All respects for this guys.
Your trainning is respectful like a military.
So proud.
Man that is brutal, more intense than many military training courses.
With this documentaries of PMMA graduate and becoming a Navy and Coast Guard Officers, you will give them the utmost highest respect for their hardship of training and education process. Salute to all of them.
This motivate lot's of young men out there..#Salute to this cadet and the maker who are so defined for perfection👍⚓️🙏🙏PMMA #WhatAVideoItWasIndeed #GodBlessU😇😇🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video Chief its really fantastic to see the young men and women of the Philippine Merchant Marine working to achieve their goals.
Another amazing video from the PMMA... All that marching about, swords, morning/evening colours, saluting, rifles etc. Then we see them standing at exaggerated attention trying to bend backwards at 45 degrees. Then the dining hall, which really seems ludicrous to me - eating by numbers? Drinking by numbers? Which navy, merchant or armed, does that? Most navies - especially the merchant navies of the world - are pretty relaxed, and don't require this sort of slavish obedience, not even at Dartmouth (RN Officer's College in UK). OK, so they are supposed to also be reserve officers in the Philippines Navy, but you can train them for that when required, not right at the beginning. In most countries the Reserves are also voluntary.
What was impressive was the technical equipment and training in the classrooms, which seems quite advanced to me. In the British Merchant Navy we did theory at Marine School with "trade training" in the final 18 months at college. Otherwise on the job training was carried out at sea on the company's ships, where you got to learn it all at the sharp end.
I would think that any cadet going through PMMA then joining a western european merchant ship will find the discipline shown in this video to be totally absent, along with saluting, standing to attention etc. I'm not sure what they are trying to do here other than pad out the course, which one assumes either the cadet or the company is paying for? I sailed with Filipino ratings on UK ships and they were very good, as were the few deck officers we had. Some had been officers in the Philippines MN, but preferred the way of life and almighty dollar that was obtainable as crew on British or European ships. The British merchant navy is just about gone now, with many of the officers now being from Croatia and other Eastern European countries, along with Filipino. I would imagine with that sort of training, that the Filipino is considerably better than his Croatian fellow.
Food for thought video, which I am going to share amongst my seafaring friends!
This type of training is only at PMMA. The other schools in the Philippines are as regular as they come. PMMA Cadets are actually government scholars (everything is free) and as such, they are held to a higher standard of training physically, intellectually and emotionally.
Only the freshmen are subjected to most of the hardships especially during the first few months where there will be a lot who will quit or be washed out because they couldn't handle the pressure of training and academics at the same time. PMMA aims to produce graduates who will be stable under pressure and display leadership skills. It is added value to the training which is very useful in any field.
Obedience is instilled in the freshmen but on their second year, they have middle seniority wherein they are responsible to train and guide the freshmen but still answer to the 4th years. It instills the concept of "to be a good leader, you must first know how to be a good follower". On their 3rd year, they will go for sea time onboard international ships, then be back to school for their 4th year. As the most senior cadets, they are in charge of running the activities of the Corps, with only minimal supervision of the Tactical Officers. So as young as they are, their leadership skills are already being developed.
I'm glad you watched and shared some insight. I recommend you to watch the "Reception Day" th-cam.com/video/ufx60R-O4-Y/w-d-xo.html
and the Graduation Day th-cam.com/video/-hxLdYKDcFY/w-d-xo.html
😂🍺👊
I was a grad of PMMA it was tough . It was like the Military training of the 300 Spartans way back then.
Regimental training worldwide involve rules and traditions the uninitiated find odd. It's all in the name of learning to deal with stressful situations in the future, discipline, to develop an esprit de corps and separate the men from the boys.
Wow! What more can I say. Thank you Chief MAKOi for making these videos and sharing your life, and now the tough training to be, a merchant marine.
the word is discipline....... now it is my first hand of watching their lives..... so much respect......beyond par..... can't imagine the training
This video really inspired me, thanks for this video cheif.
I can't wait, i just passed the PMMA Entrance examination, Just need to pass the Medical Examination and Neuro :D
Boss sa bataan po bayan?

Kudos to your vlogs, Chief! As always, excellent and well-presented. May you continue to promote and exalt our humble Alma Mater!
for those who what to be a seafarers..thIs is the life in PMMA...nice job chief makoi...very imformative video....
Man ur videos are awesome. The production, the narration, the explanation and quality. If i owned a tv channel definitely would have gave u ur own tv show. Keep up the good work
Im 43 and live in the states, and this video was so good almost has me wanting to join. Good PMMA recruiting video. Bravo! 💪
Chief we are proud of you, the cadets and the Philippines!
Excellent video. Nice and detailed description. Well done.
I am a deck cadet from Ukraine. Compared to your level of training, our nothingness. You are great!
They are showing too much.just show piece some day if you get time come n visit DMET,Kolkata india
The torture and punishment from the seniors aren't even showed here. That's the downside of this type of academies, some died of having to experience hazing.
@I Am Sekou No,That's not true.
And the hardest military training in the philippines is PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY.
@@oobibab9572 PMMA is soft. PMA is like hell
this is very very much soft compare to Scoutranger regimen training .
Salute! They got a very high standard of discipline...
Chief Makoi, salamat sa pag i-inspire sa mga future marines like me :) please keep on making videos kahit na kakaunti pa lang subs mo, lalaki rin yan kasi maganda naman quality ng mga videos mo at marami kaming natututunan :) SALAMAT CHIEF!
love your works sir... we even used this video as a tool for convincing future cadets in our Alma Mater during our information drive for the PMMA entrance examination last 29 Sept. 2018... thank you sir...
OK, WOW. I've heard a lot about the PMMA.
Until I watched this video though, I had no idea how hard these people work. I'm really impressed.
Lots of respect to you all

Thanks for the memories PMMA...
wow that is one hell of a tough training! all my respect goes out to all of ya'
Thanks!
Your videos are very entertaining and I can identify with shipboard life and training. I did a career in the U.S. Coast Guard, eleven years of which was a sea.
I enjoyed every minute of this video.
Discipline is so important in life !
I AM ONE OF THE PASSERS FOR PMMA 2018-19 CADETSHIP. CAN I HAVE A GODBLESS :)
I guess Goodbye is the best word to use.
May God bless you and keep you all your days.
Noice
Goodluck
Godbless you
Nicely done mate! Keep up the great works and keep them coming! 😉
Looking forward for more of your documentaries.
Thanks Sir!
Im still 14 years old and Im INSPIRED because my Dad is a PMMA Graduate at dahil dito Chief mate na siya ngayon sa barko!
I miss the good old days. Kaso hindi nga lng sa PMMA. Halos mgka-pareho lg daily routine except sa mga obstacle courses. Good vlog chief.
JBLFMU-Molo batch 2017. Polaris class
Your very smart and intelligent Sir, snappy salute! Excellent vid contents !
Thanks!
If ever possible, could you do one in maap?
Thank you so much for uploading videos sir!!
Sarap mag training jan payat kupa naman maliksi kaya yan basta isipin natin na malalampasan din yan ng ilang taon.
Thank you chief makoi for making this video, this really inspires me to enter the PMMA in the next 5 years I know it sounds to to early to prepare may self in entering the PMMA but I want to be prepared in all that things that I will face inside the academy that's why im so happy that you are making videos about the typical day of a PMMA student's so again thank you for making this inspiring video.
Thanks! I hope you make it.
But chief makoi, what do cadets do every weekend??
Well done bunkmate and thank you for your passion, may it onboard or ashore (most of the time in & about PMMA). Kudos! - Alfher Dosmil- PMMA Hail to Thee!
Thanks Bunkmate!
Chief MAKOi Keep it up bunkmate. If picture says a thousand words how much more sa video 💪👍 Courage, Righteousness and Humility says it all!
I took up an examination at PMMA for BS Marine transportation last 1988. And unfortunately I'm failed .
Now my life is dis oriented and no direction. I living in ordinary person nor employee I'm in a peak of my life and unsuccessful .
I'm not professional because I'm living below poverty line and my parent is separated.
I accepted what my life is and this is a god given life to me..
Very interesting. Again, a very well done video.
Nice video Chief! I always wanted to be a seaman vlogger just like you! And finding out that you're a PMMAer is awesome, 'cos I will start my journey as an aspiring PMMA cadet next month. I hope you can give me some tips on how to survive the Probationary period. Thank you, Chief! To more informational videos!
Good luck. See you on Reception Day.
Updates?
Been a bittersweet journey inside and outside the academy, but after several years of dedication and hard work, I am now officially a part of the Long Blue Line.
@@rhandzamielleseranilla6098 congrats sir🎉 I passed also the pmmaee this year, any tips for the neuro psychiatric examination?
Been here since day 1, it's good to see u growing sir
Thanks!
Ibang klase nga naman talaga training ng PMMA. Di biro pag pinasok ko to this 2020-2021 na school year. MAAP and PMMA talaga top choice ko for my college year
For while there I thought sea life may have been the best life but being I've spent a life doing what I wanted when I wanted, to each his own. That being said I have a lot of respect for the Chief and his ship mates.
Thank you for your service 🇵🇭
Why do they March with backs leaning what's the history behind that
Hawkins 157 to improve their posture i think
first year noobs
Being a noob or freshmen they should do that. And also to mantain posture
Fooling the noobs lol
@@malbinomahigad3453you try to enter the academy with your foolishness and you will vomit fish
Sir I loved ur videos alot. Ur every video is awesome. The way u speak is so polite n easily understanding.
This video is above all one.
Even being a Chief Engineer u take ur time make such a good videos.
Thanku so much.

Very fascinating Chief. Thank you sir.
Oh I loved this video, fab look into your day!

Gagawin ko lahat makapasok lang sa academy na yan. Thankyou sir.
New subscriber lang po ako😊 ang ganda po ng mga contents ng mga video nyo po 😊 very informative, madami po akong natututunan😊
This reminds me of my US Navy boot camp.
My back watching them standing arched back like that.
Why half stand like there back broke and other half stand normal lol
@@stalyjohn9347 I think people who stand normal is the senior
My brother graduated fr that schl.But luckily he has no luck to continue his dream bec of what happen to him during his apprentice in Kuwait. His ship is around the world.He had accident in Kuwait.

I will be a PMA
To serve our country
#filipinoisthebest
Queen Alts ano teh?? Pma is diff from pmma
@@therapeuticsounds91 typographical error my bad
Very informative and very inspiring video. Good job sir
I will become one of them one day,and i will return to this comment and say that"i did it!"
A great view of what it takes to succeed. I am guessing that the recruits standing and eating with the rigid arching stance are the first year cadets is that true, please explain. thank you again for the video I look forward to see them
Yes, they are. They have to earn every bit of privilege which of course if granted, will mean so much more to them. You learn to appreciate small things and not take them for granted.
The beauty of PMMA is that the cadets are the ones planning and executing daily routine based on school calendar. Equipments are being used and over-used by the cadets and not for display only. It is also a place where books needs to look deteriorated due to reading. A cadet's book that looks like new and never been opened can become an unforgettable punishable offense.
PMMA is a DIY management school because its the corps of midshipman or cadets are the ones executing and achieving periodic targets and objectives.
That is correct! You can't learn leadership inside a classroom. You learn it by living it.
Chief MAKOi summer training is another story... hooooyaaaa!
and I was always told to eat over your plate. My shirt would be a mess eating as these cadets must. Very impressed at the discipline,
I didn't realise the Philippines were the backbone of the shipping industry, keep doing what you're doing!
I've come to do the same..
Nope...
Why are some of them sitting and standing with arched backs?
I need to know too, it looks really uncomfortable
Ken Eagle because they are plebs/first years they must stand/sit like this in their first year. After their 1st year they no longer do this. They become upperclassmen.
Ghost Toast that sounds more like hazing and looks like it can cause serious back issues later in life.
@@Roodj1 I've finished my academy years and it caused me nothing but to have an attitude not to give up despite of the pain. Trust me, my words come from experience. People bitching about this kind of training isn't fit to take this kind of rigid training. It's that simple.
@@clivepacheco11 oh I say it because I have back pain from doing things like that not at the time but now years later. Not everyone will, but some might have back issues. I can't even arch my back like that anymore, l5 s1 compressed disk.
It was my first time watching daily life of PMMA mdm. I cant help but to reminisce the life of my poklat days hahaha... Even though I graduated in KP, I cant help but find the similarities...
Similar to what we do @ our Academy, especially the time for each task to be done....(Cadet Life)
Thank you for the very good video. My son is considering to enroll at PMMA. Being a parent I'd like to ask if there's any hazing in the campus? Is it very safe po ba rito in 4-year stay ng mga students? Salamat
Meron ata kasi halos academy may hazing eh lalo na dito pang military ang training.
Nakapunta na kami Dyan. Nice. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪😅
Mark Lorence Gomez ganda sir noh malapit lang po kami diyan kasi taga diyan ako sa Zambales yan
Interesting and ... surprising to me. I'm an old man now but I have been an officer for 30 years (not navy) in my country. I have been trained in our most prestigious officer school and it was tough, believe me, sometimes similar in some aspects but very different in others. It looks a little American style but the thing that surprises me most is that they seem to be sleeping "standing to attention" and eating "mechanically", as if they were "presenting arms" for any movement. That's not criticism at all but this would just be unthinkable in my country, and even in the neighbouring countries... I think it's most likely a matter of culture.
Anyway, I discovered these videos by chance and I love them very much since they answer to many questions I was asking myself about maritime professions (as you know the sea is part of children's dreams...). All the best to you
great video friend wow, thanks for shares
anu po sir ginagawa sa commence of weekend liberty?
Pwedeng umuwi.
Pano makapasok sa PMMA sir ?
May I ask do they get any freetime? Like for usin phone or relaxing?? Just wondering Thanks in advance!
They do not
Goodluck sa sarili ko hindi ako susuko!!!
it's inspiring to watch... soon to be a seaman😁
Hit Like and Subscribed sir! Thank you sir for the awesome Video... Hand Salute with clickings!
Thanks!
Great video , very motivating. Sad that the reality is that the Philippine Navy and Coast Guard full of corruption
Thanks! Yeah I feel you. Sadly things like corruption really pops up every once in a while.
Chief MAKOi Truely Agree Chief👍👍
yung navy nag iimprovised na nga sila nang gamit pandigma dahil wala silang pera na nakukuha tapos sinsabi niyo na corrupt sila!
pre wag mo sabihin yan, kahit saang ahensiya may mga corrupt wag mo LNG lahatin. may mga matitino din nmn
hnd nmn po lahat pero ALMOST or APPARENTLY po. noong nag ojt sa isa sa government agency na may kinalaman sa APOY. hnd nga sila corrupt pero nag na-cocorrupt nmn nila oras imbas mag trabaho ng 8am eh 9am pa nag ta-trabaho. ayaw ko man sabihin sau pero almost po ng government agency is corrupt but may nakita akong iilan na tao na handang magsilbi sa bayan kahit pumasok sila sa agency pero panimula lng nmn yun. dahil katagalan kakainin ka ng systema nila. natatandaan ko na pedeng mag yosi sa LOOB NG AHENSYA NOTE GOVERNMENT AGENCY PO YUN AT MGA GABI INUTUSAN NILA AKO PABILHIN NG EMPI LIGHTS AT REDHORSE AT NAG IINUMAN PA SA LOOB NG AHENSYAN YAN KAHIT INSPECTOR TUMATAGAY. may batas na bawal unimun ng alak at mag yosi ng pampublikong lugar nasa tao na lng po yun.
Sir u have amazing narrating and editing skills
2 yrs din akong tumira sa Loob ng academy. nakakamiss mag bike sa Loob ..
I noticed that some of them stand with their backs arched and others don’t, is it a difference in rank?
Plebes or 4th class cadets only do that, upper class man dont
Generally, I am very impressed. However, I am sorry to have to say it, but I consider the enforced exaggerated posture to be abusive, and potentially physically damaging. I was a nurse. I wonder what an orthopedic specialist would have to say about this YEAR-LONG requirement !
The academy has a nurse and a doctor as well.
So much respect!!
Salute Chief about PMMA Cadets
