Finished up
my latest business on my seafaring career, and just finally got another copy of
my transcript of records that will be released on the 25th of April - No thanks
to my beloved School PMI colleges . Wasn't really hard in getting one really
just simply have an affidavit of loss and four hundred pesos and that’s it.
I went
there at about 1pm on Monday and immediately proceeded on the registrar room
now relocated at the new building of PMI campus and prepared my affidavit of
loss along with my old seaman's book as an I.D. , I didn't wait too long on the
line in the registrar and when I came up I was asked by the staff on which date
did I made my TOR (transcript of records) a BS. I said I couldn’t remember the
exact date but only the year which is 2012. It only took her a couple of
minutes to check on the school records before calling me back and giving me
instructions to fill out the form and go to the accounting office for payment.
Went to the
accounting office in the above floor and payed 380 PHP for the recopy of my
TOR, then went back to the registrar and gave the receipt, the staff told me
that my TOR will be released by 25th of this march and gave me an office number
and said to call up this number if I'm in doubt of the release date.
ITS BEEN A WHILE
2012 was my
last visit with this school, and back then , I recall that my school was in
trouble over some licensing issues with the education department and to make it
worse. One of the three buildings on my campus literary burned down, and it was
the main building (the largest of the three) that caught fire. The two things
that happened was a big blow on the school and sent a thousand students fleeing
and enrolling on nearby maritime school.
During that
time if I remember the school even inaugurated the newly built simulator room a
month before the fire broke out. Sadly all that remains now of the room is just
dust and ash
Two years
later, There isn't much change going on in PMI - But I think little by little
it's starting to recover. The Main building is still burned out and abandon but maybe someday it might be rebuilt.
