We proudly congratulate ๐/๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ข ๐. ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฒ (๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐), Chief Superintendent, and ๐/๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ ๐. ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง (๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐), Deputy Chief Superintendent of the Cadet Leadership Council, for successfully completing a 3-month leadership development program under the Ayala Young Leaders Congress (AYLC) 2026.
Chosen from over 1,700 applicants nationwide and among only 31 delegates, the two (2) Third Year Cadets represented the sole maritime institution in this yearโs cohort. They had the opportunity to engage with fellow student leaders across the country in advancing shared advocacies for nation-building.
Their journey began with the Kickoff Ceremony on 2026 January 23โ25, and culminated in the Closing Activities on 2026 April 17โ19 both held at the Ayala Museum in Makati City. The program featured leadership laboratories, immersion experiences, cross-sector engagements, and capstone presentations anchored on service, impact, and collective progress.
Notably, the kickoff also featured Ms. Ma. Nieves Confesor, NTMA Chairperson, alongside other distinguished leaders who shared insights on systems thinking, leadership branding, mindfulness, negotiation, and adaptive leadership.
During the Culmination Dinner, AYLC delegates engaged with notable leaders such as Ms. Jessica Soho, one of the countryโs most respected journalists, and Ms. Martha Sazon, a leader in digital finance and innovation. The event also featured the ATLAS Homecoming, bringing together AYLC alumni from the past two decades.
Beyond the program, E/Cdt Ogoy and D/Cdt Villalon have actively shared their AYLC learnings with their fellow NTMA cadets, translating insights on service, accountability, and collaboration into daily cadet life and leadership practice.
The two cadetsโ AYLC journey affirms NTMAโs direction toward transformative leadership, i.e., developing leaders who elevate others and shape systems for lasting impact.
