Bataan is an hour away from Manila bay by ferry. The MARITIME ACADEMY OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC (MAAP) was envisioned and established by Capt. Gregorio S. Oca, the visionary founder, the President of AMOSUP (Associated Marine Officer’s and Seamen’s Union of the Philippines) to be at par with the best maritime education and training institutions in the world. MAAP, which was founded in January 14, 1998, is designed to be a world-class maritime academy hence; it is equipped with state-of the-art facilities compliant to the requirements of the STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers).
As to date, MAAP sits on a 143 hectare site upon the inauguration of the IMMAJ-PJMCC Campus last April 7, 2009 equipped with the first cutting-edge maritime simulators and laboratories in the Philippines. The Center for Advance Maritime Studies was inaugurated with the unveiling of Capt. Gregorio S. Oca monument, campus and building together with Engr. Johnny S. Oca building last November 28, 2011.What 100 Days In The Philippines Has Taught Me The air conditioner is the most prized item in any household, beating out memory foam mattresses, hot showers, and Dexter, the family dog.While I debatably travelled across the world to wallow in the bright Filipino sun for a summer, apparently I’m alone in my mission. The sun is bad like the demon. Avoid the demon at all costs and always carry an umbrella in case you are forced to walk outside when the demon is out.On that note, don’t tell girls they look tan. (For further inquiries, kindly follow the signs to any of the world-class skin-whitening clinics cluttered across the country.)
Knives are out, figure it out.It remains unclear why the Philippines must be said with the preceding “the” article but my investigation continues and I will keep my avid followers updated (hi mom and dad!).The day you come across 10 bucks on the ground, immediately find the quickest route back to your bed. Once there, pick up the phone and order an in-house massage. Prepare yourselves for a severe lack in elevator courtesy. Say goodbye to that breath of communal hesitation where the elevator’s inmates are let free, and say hello to a no man’s land where order, efficiency, and respect for others have come to die.Everything in convenience stores is sold in mini sizes. I like to think it’s because Filipinos are mini people.A mango day keeps the doctors away. And by one mango I mean two or three or ten. And by doctors I mean therapists because you will always be happy if you are eating a Filipino mango. Heaven really does exist, people.Using my non-existent very professional physic reading training, I predict you will eat SPAM (with or without intention) while in the Philippines.And don’t even get me started on mall security.
The rumors are true, not all malls have to be as depressing as those in the United States. After the initial confusion when you are given a list of malls as a way to get to know the capital city, you will soon discover the wonders Filipino malls have to offer. Warning: Remember that there is a whole world outside of Mall of Asia.I don’t care whether of not the GPS says your destination is only 7 kilometers away, it will take you 2 hours to get there #ManilaTraffic (this hashtag is always and forever will be trending).To be blunt, cockroaches are taking over the Philippines.Share this: Get ready for your next adventure!Sign up for our mailing list to see where we’re off to next.

AccesswireMay 9, 2015 30 Point Comparison of Adjustable Beds Reveal PROS and CONS of Newest Adjustable BasesCHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2015 / "Compared to the very first adjustable hospital beds built nearly two centuries ago, modern-day adjustable beds are more comfortable, advanced and durable.
However, even some of today's best adjustable beds have substantial shortcomings a potential buyer should be aware of" warns Rand Harding, a spokesperson for Bedroom Solutions.This TOP 5 Adjustable Bed Review and Comparison was recently published to educate consumers on such limitations of the best (1) Entry-level, (2) Mid-range, and (3) High-end models. It is a highly useful read for anyone looking to buy a trouble-free adjustable frame.The above review is based on the following 7 criteria that separate the best adjustable frames from the rest: (1) strength of the bed frame/chassis, (2) necessary, must-have features, (3) non-essential bells and whistles, (4) customer reviews, (5) price, (6) manufacturer reputation, and (7) warranty.Go to http://Bedroom.Solutions/Best-Adjustable-Beds/ to get the full scoop of this recently published review."Modern-day adjustable bed foundations come with dozens of features. While some of them are useful and necessary, others are highly advanced and not everyone needs them" warns Harding.
"For example, some models cost as much as an extra $1000 simply because they're equipped with built-in Bluetooth speakers, under-bed lighting, USB charging ports, alarm clocks etc. These are nice add-ons to have, but considering that they do not contribute towards relieving people's stiff necks, backaches, frozen shoulders, osteoarthritis, degenerative spondylolisthesis etc., not everyone can justify spending that extra cash towards such non-essential features" elaborates Harding.The Leggett & Platt S-Cape is an example for a top rated entry-level adjustable bed frame that has all the 'must-have' features like (1) infinite number of upper and lower body inclination angles, (2) two programmable positions, (3) backlit wireless remote controller, (4) built-in head and foot therapeutic massages, (5) quiet motors and (6) wall hugging / sliding back mechanism which enables the user to stay close to his/her nightstand even when the upper body is raised. In addition to the above 'must-have' features, Leggett & Platt Premier Series and Serta Motion Custom, two of the best high-end adjustable beds, are equipped with more advanced features like (1) Bluetooth connectivity, (2) under-bed lighting, (3) USB ports for recharging smartphones, (4) vibrating alarms, (5) sleep timers, (6) lumbar support, and (7) factory-preset positions.
However, these advanced features don't come free. The above adjustable bed review compares all of these features on a side-by-side table, so that consumers can make an educated decision on the best suited adjustable bed for his/her specific needs."What's most important in determining the best adjustable bed is not its brand (i.e. Leggett & Platt, Serta, Ergomotion, Amerisleep, Reverie, Sleep Number or Tempur-pedic) or size (i.e. twin-XL, full, queen or California split-king), but rather the blend of features it possesses" warns Harding.This 30 Point Adjustable Bed Comparison and Review addresses all of these modern features in great detail. It could very well be the most comprehensive comparison of adjustable bed frames available online and therefore is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in buying one.The above 30-point comparison highlights the importance of features like customizable memory positions, wall hugging, safety features involving pinch points, and choosing the right 8" - 15" gel memory foam mattress.
