The Port Management of Misamis Oriental/Cagayan de Oro (PMO MOC) celebrated a significant milestone today, November 4, 2024, as it warmly welcomed its new Acting Port Manager, Fernando B. Mapalo Jr. The day commenced with the first Monday Flag Raising of November, bringing together the PMO staff in a show of solidarity and enthusiasm for the month ahead.

Following the flag-raising ceremony, the team participated in a brief morning exercise. The Port Services Division Manager, Ruby Maria O. Gumapon then formally introduced Mr. Mapalo, who took the opportunity to share his vision and core values with the staff. He emphasized three guiding principles encapsulated in the acronym FTI: Fairness, Transparency, and Integrity. These values will serve as the cornerstone of his leadership, to build trust and collaboration within the organization.

In addition, Mr. Mapalo reiterated the hashtag #SeaTransportandTravelExperience, which reflects his commitment to enhancing the overall experience of transport and travel. He explained the significance of the acronym SEA, which stands for Sustainability, Efficiency, and Admirability. This framework highlights his intention to promote sustainable practices while ensuring that services remain efficient and commendable.

“Positive gains and fulfilling outcomes can be achieved through mutual support and cooperation,” he stated, encouraging all staff members to work together toward common objectives.

To add a festive touch to the day, a cake was cut in honor of the November celebrants, accompanied by a toast that celebrated their contributions and milestones. This gesture further strengthened the sense of community within the PMO.

After the flag-raising festivities, Mr. Mapalo, along with the Division Managers, engaged in an assumption briefing. This session was vital for Mr. Mapalo to familiarize himself with the intricacies of port management and to align with the team on strategic initiatives moving forward.

As PMO MOC embraces this new leadership, the atmosphere is filled with optimism. With Mr. Mapalo’s emphasis on fairness, transparency, and integrity, the port is set on a promising path, ready to navigate future challenges while continuing to deliver exceptional service to the region.
