The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said it signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) to help the Authority enhance its training programs and advocate for CAAP employees.

The activity marked the official partnership between the two organizations, where PUP will be extending its professional services and allow CAAP to utilize and benefit from its expertise in psychology through training programs, said CAAP spokesman Eric Apolonio.
Spearheaded by the PUP PhD and MA Psychology program, this mutually beneficial partnership will not only help promote the university’s programs but will also serve as a step towards improving the quality of the workplace at CAAP and by extension, the quality of life of its employees. Apolonio said.
Representing CAAP were Director General Captain Manuel Antonio L. Tamayo, Deputy Director General for Operations Captain Edgardo G. Diaz, Deputy Director General for Administration Atty. Danjun G. Lucas, and Assistant Director General (ADG) for Enforcement and Legal Service Chief Atty. Roberto Martin S. Buenaventura.
Meanwhile, PUP was represented by Graduate School Dean Dr. Elmer G. De Jose, PhD, MAP Psychology Programs Chairperson Dr. Pricila B. Marzan, and Mr. John Mark Distor.
PUP VP for Research, Extension, Planning, and Development Dr. Anna Ruby P. Gapasin also expressed her gratitude to the CAAP Management through a video message. (JERRY S. TAN)
