KEY AREA 1
PHILIPPINE MEASURES
Immediate Measures
1.
CHED and MARINA notified PMI
Colleges, University of Cebu, Our
Lady of Fatima University and John
B. Lacson Foundation Maritime
University (Attachment 34) of the
specific findings noted in the
ECAR. They were required to
explain and give comments and to
submit a corrective action plan to
address the findings and prevent
their
recurrence.
The
Administration
evaluated
the
documents submitted by the
MHEIs.
•
PMI Colleges (Attachment 34-A)
submitted
their
compliance
documents on 28 January 2022,
which
were
subsequently
reviewed and evaluated. It was
noted in the review that the PMI
submitted
a
revised
course
syllabus which no longer refers to
Inmarsat A and B. However, the
submitted
“GMDSS-Laboratory
Assessment” still refers to Inmarsat
B. While the use of Inmarsat fleet
77 has been included in the
exercise, there is no specific activity
where this will be utilized. There
are also no Student Learning
Activities for demonstration of the
use
of
GMDSS
equipment.
Therefore, based on the factual
evidence
submitted,
the
evaluation team concludes that
the specific finding has not been
sufficiently addressed.

•
For
UC,
their
compliance
documents were submitted on 28
January 2022. Based on the
evaluation, it was found out that in
their MARCOM 311 Syllabus, no
laboratory facilities and equipment
required for the delivery of the
practical component of the course
were indicated and the topics do
not
include
AIS-SART
and
Operational
Communication
Procedures (based on Chapters VII
and IX, Radio Regulations). Further,
no evidence was provided for the
Practical Exercise and Assessment
on the use of Fleet 77 and AIS-SART
and for the capability of the
GMDSS
simulator
for
the
function/operation of Fleet 77 and
AIS-SART.
(Attachment
34-B).
Therefore, based on the factual
evidence
submitted,
the
evaluation team concludes that
the specific finding has not been
sufficiently addressed.
•
Based
on
the
documents
submitted by OLFU on 27 January
2022, it was found out that the
course outcome in SEAM 4 does
not sufficiently cover the KUPs
which are supposed to be
developed as stated in the course
specifications. (Attachment 34-C).
Therefore, based on the factual
evidence
submitted,
the
evaluation team concludes that
the specific finding has not been
sufficiently addressed.
