From his foundational years at Adamson University to his commanding presence in the Philippine Navy, the career of CAPT RENANTE H DEL PRADO PN(GSC) has been defined by exceptional leadership and a steadfast commitment to maritime security.

His journey began within the halls of Adamson, where he honed his leadership skills as the 246th NROTCU as Vice Corps Commander of "Orcinus Orca" CL-1997. This early experience as a Cadet Officer served as the bedrock for a distinguished military career marked by significant responsibilities at sea and ashore.

CAPT DEL PRADO's professional trajectory is distinguished by his tenures commanding the Navy’s vital assets. He took the helm as the Commanding Officer of the BRP Apolinario Mabini (PS-36) in October 2023, followed by his leadership of the BRP Andres Bonifacio (PS-17) since August 2024. His consistent excellence led to his promotion from Commander to Captain in January 2025, a rank that underscores his expertise and dedication.

Most recently, he served as the Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations (NR3) at the Naval Reserve Command from August 2025 to April 2026. We honor this outstanding alumnus whose maritime leadership and decades of service continue to uphold the finest traditions of the Philippine Navy.
