			TACLOBAN CITY – 
			With the advent of modern technology, the National Maritime 
			Polytechnic (NMP) has rolled out a new mobile app entitled NMP App 
			which aimed to aid its stakeholders in verifying the authenticity of 
			NMP issued certificates. 
			
			Its dashboard displays the 
			options to verify the authenticity of a certificate by using the 
			Name and Birth Date of the trainee, Certificate Number and other 
			pertinent information.
			The app also features a 
			side function which allows trainees to verify if they are already 
			enrolled in their preferred schedule for Professional Development 
			Courses (PDC), namely: Training Course for Instructors (IMO Model 
			Course 6.09), Assessment, Examination and Certification of Seafarers 
			(IMO Model Course 3.12), and Training Course for Simulator 
			Instructors (IMO Model Course 6.10).
			“The app is very useful, 
			good, and convenient to all trainees of NMP”, said Mr. Donald A. 
			Cosep when asked for his feedback during the mobile app launching on 
			13 December 2019 at the NMP Training Building. 
			
			The mobile app is a free 
			service for NMP stakeholders with Android devices and gadgets. It is 
			available for download in Google Play Store. 
			
			Any misuse or manipulation 
			of the personal data provided in the search result will be subjected 
			to Republic Act 10173 otherwise known as the “Data Privacy Act (DPA) 
			of 2012”, its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), and other 
			relevant policies, including issuances of the National Privacy 
			Commission (NPC).
			It is the policy of NMP to 
			respect and uphold the data privacy rights and to ensure that all 
			data collected from its trainees and other third party individuals 
			are processed pursuant to the general principles of transparency, 
			legitimate purpose, and proportionality as stated in the DPA.
			The NMP app will be 
			updated should there a need to include other features.
