VIRTUAL MERCHANT MARINE REGIMENTAL PROGRAM – 2 (MMRP-2)

NARRATIVE REPORT
DURATION: FEBRUARY 12-24, 2024

A. INTRODUCTION:
1. How I came up with my belief to join the Virtual and Face-to-face Merchant Marine Regimental
Program (MMRP)?
- My choice to participate in both Virtual and face-to-face MMRP stems from both personal interest and the
necessity to fulfill a requirement for passing this semester. This training offers me numerous opportunities
for personal growth, which will better prepare me for graduation and entering the work on board the ship.
2. What I must expect to arrive myself upon completion of the training program?
- I am going to expect that will have a knowledge about how works will be onboard and am going to have a
self-discipline.

B. CITE YOUR EXPERIENCES/ACTUAL PERFORMANCE DURING THE CONDUCT OF

VIRTUAL MMRP BASED ON THE FOLLOWING TRAINING COMPONENTS:

1. Academic Enhancement:
1.1 Marine Power Plant, Electro Technology, Machine Shop and Main Engine Operations
- I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up with these subjects. The topics are quite lengthy, and the time we
have in class feels too short. The professors are teaching at a fast pace, which makes it difficult for me to
catch everything.
1.2 Technical English
- My experience about this subject is excellent because Ms. Nepomuceno explained well all of the topics
and give an activity that is interesting.
1.3 Advance Personality Development
- My experience here is good because I also learned a lot about me or my personality, and also it teaches
here how to take care of our health.
1.4 Leadership and Teambuilding
- The experience here is excellent because sir. Rio explain all of the topic and also giving some examples
that has been helpful in order for us to understand more the topic.

2. Non – Academic Enhancement:

2.1 Physical Fitness Training (PFT)
- I experience here is hard but it is a good experience to me.

C. WHICH OF THE ABOVE TRAINING COMPONENTS THAT YOU LIKE MOST AND WHY?
- I like the Stretching because it gives my body a flexibility and also it warm my body and also it helps to
loosen my tight muscles and joints before to do the main exercise.
D. WHICH OF THE ABOVE TRAINING COMPONENTS THAT YOU DIDN’T LIKE MOST AND
WHY?
- I don’t like the core exercises, it because of my situation now, i have a operation that is called
cholecystectomy and it is a surgery that is removed my gallbladder because it has a gallstones.
E. EXPRESS YOUR POSITIVE IMPRESSION AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ON VIRTUAL
MMRP THIS TIME OF PANDEMIC?
- I'm really impressed by how the Virtual MMRP has adapted during the pandemic. It's been a lifeline for
keeping up with academic and professional growth while staying safe at home. I love how flexible it is,
making it easier for STUDENTS from all over to join in, regardless of where they are. Plus, it's great
knowing that even if someone's dealing with health issues or other challenges, they can still be part of the
program. That said, there's always room for improvement, like making sure the online sessions are
engaging and easy to navigate. But overall, it's been a valuable experience.

F. WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS/ SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE THE CONDUCT

OF NEXT VIRTUAL MMRP TRAINING?
- I don’t have any recommendations or suggestion about this current MMRP.
