The MARITIME ACADEMY OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC (MAAP) was established by the visionary founder Capt. Gregorio S. Oca, the President of AMOSUP (Associated Marine Officer’s and Seamen’s Union of the Philippines) to be at par with the best maritime education and training institutions in the world. The Academy, accredited by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED), offers four-year scholarship grants in Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation and Marine Engineering, Bridging Program for Marine Engineering, and postgraduate courses. Through appropriate arrangement with various sponsors and donors, every graduate is assured of employment aboard commercial ships plying the foreign trade. MAAP sits on a 125 hectare site upon the inauguration of the IMMAJ-PJMCC Campus last April 7, 2009 equipped with the first cutting-edge maritime simulators and laboratories in the Philippines. The Center for Advance Maritime Studies was inaugurated with the unveiling of Capt. Gregorio S. Oca monument, campus and building together with Engr. Johnny S. Oca building last November 28, 2011.
