The Port Management Office of Misamis Oriental/Cagayan de Oro (PMO MOC) has once again affirmed its strong commitment to quality, environmental sustainability, and occupational health and safety after successfully passing its Recertification Audit with no minor or major Non-Conformities (NCs).

The Recertification Audit was conducted on the 23rd of February 2026, by the NQA Audit Team, led by Mr. Rannie Bernardino, together with auditors Ms. Thesz Bernardino and Ms. Rhoda Vi Demesa. The audit thoroughly evaluated the office’s Integrated Management System against internationally recognized standards established by the International Organization for Standardization, including ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management Systems, and ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

Throughout the audit, key operational and administrative areas were examined, including leadership engagement, organizational context, risk planning, performance evaluation, document and records control, internal audit systems, corrective action processes, human resource management and training, purchasing and control of external providers, maintenance and calibration procedures, motorpool and general services, vessel entrance clearance, cargo withdrawal and entry processes, environmental compliance, emergency preparedness and response, safety and health planning, hazard identification and risk assessment, monitoring and measurement, and incident investigation procedures.

The auditors confirmed that the management systems of PMO Misamis Oriental/Cagayan de Oro are properly established, effectively implemented, and consistently maintained in accordance with the requirements of the applicable ISO standards. The absence of both minor and major Non-Conformities demonstrates the office’s disciplined adherence to documented procedures, its proactive compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, and its culture of continuous improvement.

The audit also highlighted the active participation and strong support of Top Management, the Quality Management Representative, the Environmental Management System Committee, the Safety and Health Committee, and various operational units. Their collective commitment ensured that processes were well documented, controls were effectively applied, and improvement mechanisms were functioning efficiently across all areas of operation.

Passing the Recertification Audit without any findings is a significant milestone that reinforces the credibility and integrity of PMO Misamis Oriental/Cagayan de Oro within the Philippine Ports Authority system. More importantly, it assures port users, stakeholders, and partner agencies that the office continues to deliver efficient port services while upholding environmental responsibility and safeguarding the health and safety of its workforce.
