The JBLFMU Research Department held its online Research Colloquium and Sharing Of Best Practices 2021 conference last February 24, 2021.
The program started at 8:00 am and was conducted through the ZOOM Virtual Conference.
Below is the detailed program of activities of the said event.
The annual System Research Colloquium and Sharing of Best Practices were hosted this year by JBLCF Bacolod and was one of the highlights of the 73rd Foundation Anniversary of JBLFMU held last January 24, 2019. This event was spearheaded by the Dr. Emeliza T. Estimo, Research Coordinator of the unit, together with her research committees. It strengthens the research culture and enthusiasm among Lacsonian communities as it features new innovative ideas, knowledge and best practices every year. This prestigious event convened the administrators, department heads, selected faculty and staff and students from the three units namely JBLFMU – Molo, JBLFMU- Arevalo and JBLCF- Bacolod to provide opportunity for notable studies to be presented and for research findings to be discussed and utilized by the JBLFMU unit concerned.
The event was graced by Mrs. Rufina A. Aquino, Supervising Maritime Industry Specialist of MARINA Region 6, who was invited as the keynote speaker and guest presenters from other maritime schools and shipping companies.
The Research Colloquium featured the presentation of three papers by invited guests from the JBLFMU Graduate School who, at the same time, represented their respective institutions. Dr. Roberto F. Escaro III, President of the Regency Polytechnic in Koronadal City presented his paper titled “Dimensions of Personality as Determinants of Work Performance of Seafarers in the Philippines.” Dr. Winnie P. Bandong, Marine Manager/DPA of the CD Ship Management and Marine Services Corporation talked about “The Diversity Management and Cultural Sensitivity, Aptitude of Filipino Seafarers: An Opportunity for Curricular Reforms,” while Capt.

Over the years, endeavors in research such as the System Research Colloquium have helped in strengthening the research culture of the units. The faculty, staff and students have gradually embraced the value of research and the significance of their contribution when conducting a study for the development of the school and its community.
The Unit Research Colloquium and Utilization Workshop conducted by the Research and Development Center of JBLCF–Bacolod provide opportunity for faculty and staff researchers to present their research output in a venue wherein their study can be critiqued for improvement as well as for findings of the studies be utilized. Last August 23 -24, 2018, these activities were held at the HMA Function Hall showcasing nine (9) papers for presentation. This two-day activity was carefully planned and successfully conducted through the leadership of Dr. Emeliza T. Estimo, Research Coordinator of the unit, and the working committees who actively worked hand in hand to prepare and ensure that the activity will run smoothly.
The keynote speaker on the first day of the event was Capt. Luis G. Evidente, Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer of JBLFMU and his message revolved on the theme of the event: “Stronger Commitment to Excellence in Maritime Education and Training through Research”; while Dr. Nenie M. Galedo, Education Supervisor 2 of the Commission of Higher Education Region 6 was invited to join the activity as representative of the commission and informed the participants about the need also to align the research studies of the academe with the thrusts and agenda of CHED in research.
