the written phase of the Marine Deck Officers Licensure Examination for the various ranks given by the Board for
Marine Deck Officers in Manila last February 2011. A total of 75 examinees have been exempted from taking the
practical examinations as they opted to submit a Certificate of Training and Certificate of Assessment in the Ship

by landing in the top ten for the Officer – in- Charge examination with Edwin Tablon Sagaral placing first, Neil Dennis
