The Philippine Ports Authority, in its desire to further develop the academic competencies of its human resource through the pursuance of relevant post graduate studies, has recently forged a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Lyceum of the Philippines University through its Claro M. Recto Academy of Advanced Studies (LPU-CMRAAS).

PPA General Manager Juan C. Sta. Ana, in a press statement said that through this undertaking the Port Agency and the Lyceum of the Philippines will jointly plan, implement and collaborate in offering necessary graduate program and courses to interested PPA employees who may want to pursue graduate studies.  “I urge every member of the organization to continue uplifting/enhancing their academic credentials by pursuing graduate studies and other relevant courses not only for purposes of helping professionalize the human resource competencies of the PPA but for the employees’ professional/career advancement as well.”  Sta. Ana added.

The PPA Chief stressed that included in the priority plan of the Port Agency is to continuously upgrade the capabilities and competencies of its human resource through systematic/organized training program and education.  “Everyday there are new development and changes that must be met and confront with but with an efficient and competent human resource, fresh approaches and novel techniques are expected to come out.  We want our co-workers in government to develop qualities and exceptional competencies as an executive career officer with academic credentials that will be most sought after by various government and non-government agencies thus making them more marketable as far as employment is concerned,” Sta. Ana furthered.

The Lyceum of the Philippines, on the other hand, hopes to expand its educational services by covering the needs of professionals working in government institutions like the PPA, by affording its employees who may be interested to pursue graduate studies and other relevant courses and programs with big discounts on tuition fees.
