HISTORY

Capt. John B. Lacson

Brief History The institution opened originally as a Review Center to assist seafarers in preparation for the licensure examinations for the Marine Deck and Engine Officers in May 1931. Seeing it prosper, Capt. Lacson further formalized the review classes to seafarers, giving birth to an unstructured organization of review classes for marine officers who wanted to upgrade their licenses to higher grades. The first class was composed of about 40 candidates; and 95% passed the examinations. When World War II broke out, the review school closed.

Capt. John B. Lacson When the war ended, Capt. Lacson perceived the potential of the marine profession being the fastest and the least expensive to join. He retired from the U.S. Coast Guard, went back to the Philippines and together with his brother, Frank Lacson, a pilot and a US government disability pensioner, drew a 2-year nautical curriculum. In 1948, 60 cadets had enrolled.

Enrollment increased year after year. In 1954, Capt. Lacson offered vocational courses for high school graduates. He then changed the name of the center to Lacson Vocational Institute. The curriculum included practical livelihood skills that could provide employment after high school graduation. It flourished until 1956 when the institute had to be abolished to give way to the marine engineering program that was badly needed by the maritime industry. Automotive mechanics and diesel mechanics were added to maximize the use of the equipment.

Capt. John B. Lacson In 1957, Capt. Lacson decided to convert the institute to a stock corporation and registered it as the Iloilo Maritime Academy with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 1958, Iloilo Maritime Academy was granted permit to conduct Naval ROTC training. In 1966, student activism gained ground in the campuses brought on by left-wing indoctrination. Despite the chaos and disquiet of the student leaders, Capt.

Lacson bought a training ship for the use of the students, and was named M/B John B. Lacson. He had not wavered from his commitment to provide quality education and training to students. The training ship served as a floating laboratory, which gave the cadets some practical lessons by plying waters between Panay and Guimaras during the weekends.
