On August 14, 2025, representatives from John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (JBLFMU)-Bacolod personally delivered the signed PTC TAG Master Agreement between PTC and JBLFMU. This milestone marks the result of more than a year of collaboration by the PTC TAG, sealing a partnership that covers three JBLFMU campuses across Iloilo and Bacolod.

While the agreement highlights opportunities for maritime students and alumni, its scope goes further. Business, tourism, and hospitality students will also benefit, gaining access to career pathways with The PTC group across sea, land, and air.

The partnership also opens the door for JNLFMU's Program Offerings and Partnership Proposal, creating even more avenues to strengthen PTC's talent acquisition initiatives. By aligning academic programs with industry needs, this collaboration ensures a broader and more sustainable talent pipeline.

This forward-looking partnership reflects a shared commitment to preparing a skilled, future-ready workforce. By broadening career options and strengthening industry exposure, PTC and JBLFMU are paving the way for students to succeed in an increasingly competitive global economy.
