You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''PMI Colleges''', formerly known as '''Philippine Maritime Institute''', is a [[Private school|private]], [[non-sectarian]], [[co-educational]] higher education, Maritime institution established on September 18, 1948 in [[Santa Cruz, Manila|Santa Cruz]], [[Manila]], [[Philippines]] where its main campus is located.

PMI Colleges is considered as the second oldest and the largest among over one hundred private maritime schools in the country. At present, it is the biggest nautical school in the country, averaging nearly  3500 nautical and marine engineering graduates every year.

==History==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Cloma Statue.jpeg|thumb|right|Tomas Cloma Sr. Statue in [[PMMA]] ]] -->

The Philippine Maritime Institute was founded on September 18, 1948 by [[Tomas Cloma|Atty. Tomas Cloma]], also a [[Self-Styled Admiral]] and his father Tomas Cloma Sr., discoverer of the [[Kalayaan Group of Islands]]. It was the first private maritime school in the Philippines with nineteen (19) students enrolled in the Associate in Nautical Science course in a classroom on a floating barge moored in the [[Pasig River]] at [[Manila Central Post Office|Plaza Lawton]].

The first quarterly enrolment was fifty-four. The school provided a one-year Nautical course in three  separate session-morning, afternoon and evening. It was housed in two buildings in David Street, now Burke Street, near Escolta, Manila.

The first graduates successfully passed the Civil Service examination given by the Board of Marine Engineers for Deck Officers. The school had two training ships: the motor launched "Victoria" and the "S/S Clavecillia" which were used as training ships during weekends.

It was granted recognition by the Secretary of [[Department of Education (Philippines)|Department of Education]] in January 1950. The Graduates had the same status as those of the government nautical school. Legislation had favored graduates of the school by exempting them from taking the Third Mate’s technical examination given by the board of marine Examiners for Deck Officers until 1954.

The Nautical curriculum was lengthened to two years after PMI petitioned the Department of Education through the private Schools to offer a two-year course in Nautical Science leading to the title of Associate in Nautical Science (ANS), which was granted on February 13, 1953.

On June 14, 1983 the four-year course in Nautical Science was granted recognition by the then Ministry of Education and Culture.

PMI currently has three campuses in the country – Manila, Quezon City, and Tagbilaran City.

==College Academic Departments==

*'''Department of Marine Transportation'''. The Department of Marine Transportation is the PMI's first flagship program that started as the Associate in Marine Transportation (AMT) in 1948 with twenty five students.
*'''Department of Marine Engineering'''.''' '''The Department of Marine Engineering was opened in 1953. In the school year 1953-1954, the Bureau of Private Schools approved the two-year curriculum presented by the PMI to offer the Marine Engineering with the title of Associate in Marine Engineering (AME''').
*'''Department of Customs Administration.''' The Department of Customs Administration was born on 1954. In 1960 the PMI offered for the first time a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Customs Administration, minor in Tariff (BSCA). The curriculum of this course was prepared with the advice of leading customs authorities and tariff specialists who also formed the nucleus of its teaching staff. The curriculum was approved by the Department of Education.
*'''Department of Naval Science and Tactics.''' The school also has its Department of Naval Science and Tactics under the control and supervision of the Naval Reserve Command (NavResCom) of [[Philippine Navy]]. This department handles the compulsory military training of all enrolled cadets except those duly exempted. The two-year advanced training leads to a commission ship in the Philippine Navy.

Effective second semester of school year 2011-2012, the BS Marine Transportation (BSMT) and BS Marine Engineering (BSMarE) programs of PMI Colleges in its Manila and Quezon City campuses were ordered closed. This is due to the failure of the school to comply with the standards of the programs, in accordance with the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW), and CHED requirements.

"On January 26, 2012, PMI Colleges, through its lawyers, received an Order from the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City granting PMI's application for Injunction prohibiting CHED from enforcing its Closure Orders, and ordering CHED to allow PMI Colleges to continue offering its BSMT and BSMarE programs."

==Flagship Courses==

After finishing at least 75% of the major subjects of the MCA program, the students are required to take the [[comprehensive examination]] and then write and defend a thesis.
