ILOILO CITY, Philippines — The John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Molo), Inc. celebrated a momentous milestone as it held its 77th Commencement and Completion Exercises, honoring the achievements of its graduating and completing students — the newest generation of Filipino mariners ready to embark on their professional journeys at sea.

The solemn yet inspiring ceremony recognized the unwavering discipline, resilience, and excellence demonstrated by the graduates throughout their maritime education and training. Under the university’s guiding principles of discipline, excellence, and service, this year’s graduates stood as a testament to JBLFMU’s continued legacy of shaping globally competitive seafarers.

University officials, faculty members, and distinguished guests joined the proud families of the graduates in commemorating this special day. The event highlighted not only academic success but also the enduring values of leadership, integrity, and professionalism instilled in every JBLFMU student — qualities that define the Filipino seafarer in the global maritime arena.

In a message of support, Marino PH extended its warmest congratulations to the graduates, encouraging them to “sail with purpose, lead with honor, and carry the spirit of a true Marino.” The organization acknowledged the crucial role of maritime education in sustaining the Philippines’ reputation as a world leader in seafaring.

As these future mariners prepare to step aboard their first vessels or pursue licensure, they carry with them not just diplomas, but the lessons, values, and dreams nurtured within their alma mater. The seas ahead may be vast and uncertain, but for the graduates of JBLFMU-Molo, the horizon has never looked brighter.
