A: Commodore JAIME C. JIMENEZ, Sr. was the founder of MPCF-LC. He is a retired officer of the
Philippine Navy, Chief Marine Officer, and a serious campaigner for quality education. He was
the former President of the Philippine Maritime Institutions (PAMI), a conglomeration of
maritime education in the Philippines, and Chairman of Philippine Commission on Government
Reorganization (PCGR). Commodore Jimenez believed that the youth must be given the best
education so they will become effective leaders of tomorrow. Hence, in 1974, he opened the
Mariners Polytechnic School in Manila with an initial enrollment of 35 students. Commodore
Jimenez decided to transfer the school in the Bicol Region to help fellow Bicolanos develop into
quality seaman. From the first batch of 52 Bicolano seaman cadets, the enrolment continuously
grew that paved the way for the birth of the three school campuses at Naga City. Despite its
being identified as a maritime school, the three schools offers both land and sea-based courses.
The Mariners' System [official] upholds the honor code, "DO NOT LIE, CHEAT, OR STEAL", and
instill the core values of discipline, competence, and social responsiveness among its people.
