Mike Morales

Dr. Mike Morales was commissioned as a naval officer in 1983. After serving with the Philippine Coast Guard, he volunteered as an instructor at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 1986 and later joined its permanent military faculty. As a computer scientist, he developed a network-based marine radar simulator that was used to train naval and maritime cadets. Dr. Morales promotes transformational leadership as an alternative to traditional leadership and training models. Transformational leadership is concerned not only with the successful accomplishment of the mission but also with raising the values and expectations of people, the organization, and the community. As a research fellow of the Japan Foundation in 2005, he studied leadership training at the military academies of Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In 2016, he continued his research as a Fulbright visiting scholar at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He continues to train and advise the armed forces and other uniformed services in the area of education and leadership development. In 2019, he assumed the presidency of the Mitsui OSK Lines-Magsaysay Maritime Academy. Dr. Morales has a bachelor’s degree in mathematical sciences from the United States Coast Guard Academy, a master’s degree in computer science from the Ateneo de Manila University, and a Ph.D. in software engineering from Cranfield University in the U.K. He was awarded as one of the outstanding teachers of the Philippines by the Metrobank Foundation.
