An American author once said, “If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never get it”. I know that there is never a perfect formula for achieving what you want but for me, aiming for something means working for it. I will be always and forever grateful to my college, the Lyceum International Maritime Academy, for molding me into the person I am today – a person of character and competence. I am never afraid and always feel secure and confident as I pursue my journey and enter a more complex and challenging world. I know that the institution has equipped and prepared me with the talents and skills I need.

With the holistic education and training that the Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas has been providing all these years, I am confident that we can produce more maritime officers and engineers that will serve and constitute the thirty percent of the world fleet comprising of world-class Filipino seafarers. As we celebrate the day of the Seafarer this June 25 let me give a snappy salute to LPU-Batangas and a snappy salute to all Batangueño and Lycean seafarers! #ButiNaLangNagLyceumAko

Capt. Benjamin Privado, BSMT 1995

After obtaining my BS and Masters I could definitely say that LPU does not only lead the business of creating strong minds and providing quality education, but it has also been a molder of young men and women through its outstanding and motivational instructors. And so in the words of Sir Isaac Newton, “if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”. LPU is proud of its many traditions, but the one I find most exciting is its long-standing tradition of excellence. #ButiNaLangNagLyceumAko
