This site is dedicated to the Midshipmen who graduate in 1996 in the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy which was then located at Fort Bonifacio, City of Makati and now in San Narciso, Zambales.

It is our honor to share with you some of the memories we have in our life in the academy.

We also hope that through this website, we will be able to reunite & rekindle our brotherhood as we reminisce the challenges and battles we have triumphantly won as a unified Corps of Midshipmen that made us become what we are now as full pledge true blue PMMA'er Marine Officers.

To the HELM Committee, until this day we continue to salute you for being so efficient and reliable. We are so proud that you were able to produce and distribute the HELM, the most important memorabilia of our life in the Academy even before the day of our Graduation. The product of your combined efforts as a team have been uploaded into this site.

May our stories be a legacy to our children that they too may find inspiration as they face their own life's challenges.

To our children Arnel Benjamin, Arnie Beatrice and Armie Betheena who never ceased to be amazed every time they take a glimpse of the Helm. They are the inspiration for the making of this website. Now pictures are just a click a way before our Helm's pages totally wear out. Who knows, maybe someday one of them would also take the path we have taken...
