Day 10 – Ongoing Progress

We are thrilled to share that Day 10 of the Bahay Alumni construction is now underway!

From the groundbreaking ceremony on July 20, 2024, to the official start of construction on May 3, 2025, this project has been a testament to the unwavering support and unity of the MNHS Alumni community. Under the strong leadership of Alumni President Ms Emilyn Navia, the dream of establishing a dedicated space for alumni engagement and community development is steadily becoming a reality.

Let us all pledge to uphold the mission of this project:
• To build a welcoming and functional space for alumni and learners
• To support the ALS (Alternative Learning System) program
• To provide expanded learning opportunities
• And to enhance the educational experience for both alumni and current students

Together, we are building more than a structure—we are building a legacy.
The best is yet to come for Malabog National High School. Let’s pave the way—brick by brick, day by day.

Myrna Mallorca-Dela Cruz, a proud graduate of Malabog National High School (Class of 1990), is the embodiment of what it means to be an empowered woman, a dedicated public servant, and a social worker at heart. Guided by her life principle - “to stay true to herself, seek growth, cultivate meaningful relationships, embrace resilience, and always live with gratitude”- Myrna’s journey has been one of perseverance, leadership, and unwavering service to others.

Even at a young age, Myrna’s commitment to public service was already evident. She was elected as an SK Councilor in Barangay Salvacion, Daraga, Albay, where she began her journey of leadership and community involvement. She later pursued her passion for helping others by taking up a Bachelor of Science in Social Work at Bicol University College of Arts and Sciences, where she graduated in 1994. She further honed her expertise by completing a Master’s degree in Public Administration at Emilio Aguinaldo College in 2022, after previously completing 54 units in the same field at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

Currently serving as a Presidential Staff Officer at the Office of the President, Malacañang, Myrna has held various key roles in government since 1999, working in finance and administration with a strong track record of excellence. Beyond her administrative duties, she remains deeply rooted in her values and passion for social work. Despite the challenges of working in a dynamic and often politically charged environment, she has stayed true to her apolitical stance, allowing her work to speak for itself. Her personal mantra, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do,” has clearly shaped her commitment to service and integrity.

Myrna’s commitment to service extends far beyond her official duties. As a highly supportive and engaged alumna of MNHS, she has made a lasting impact on her alma mater and community. Recently, through her endorsement, fellow alumni sponsored and conducted a medical mission on February 10, providing free healthcare services to residents of nearby barangays. She also facilitated the donation of 15 computer sets from PAOCC Undersecretary General Cruz to MNHS, benefiting the Araling Panlipunan Department’s Project AP Cares for Indigenous Peoples (IP) students, Students with Special Needs (SNED), and Alumni HELPS scholars. Her ongoing advocacy continues to bring educational and medical assistance to her batchmates and fellow barangay residents.

More than titles and positions, what defines Myrna is her heart for others. Time and again, she has extended her help through quiet but impactful actions - uplifting lives through her endorsements, mentorship, and genuine concern. Her story is a powerful reminder that true success lies not only in professional growth but in staying connected to one’s roots and using one’s influence to uplift others.

As an empowered alumna of MNHS, Myrna Mallorca-Dela Cruz stands as a shining example of how success is not only measured by what we achieve for ourselves, but by how much we contribute to the lives of others. With every act of service, she honors her roots and exemplifies the true spirit of being a social worker - not just by profession, but by purpose.

Genette Mujar’s journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and empowerment. From humble beginnings in the Philippines to making waves in Canada’s fashion industry, her story reflects the power of determination and the impact of giving back.

Raised in Upper Malabog, Daraga,Albay, she showed early promise in academics and the arts, earning awards for her talent. Yet, financial hardship forced her to pause her education to support her family by making handicrafts, allowing her siblings to continue schooling. Despite the challenges, she remained determined to pursue her dreams.

Genette’s perseverance led her to earn a degree in AB Political Science at Bicol University, working as a student assistant to support herself. However, her passion for fashion design eventually steered her to Vancouver, Canada, where she studied at the Visual College of Arts and Design. There, she earned the Best Achievement Award in Fashion Design, which marked the beginning of her remarkable career in the fashion industry.

Her designs soon gained recognition on international platforms, including the Vancouver International Fashion Festival and Vancouver Fashion Week. Her work has been featured in prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Wall, and Elegant Mag. Genette has received numerous awards, including the Bayanihan Gawad Parangal (2023), Most Outstanding Filipino in Canada (2024), and a nomination for the Canadian Choice Award (2025).

More than a designer, Genette is a mentor and advocate for inclusivity and gender equality in fashion. She teaches sewing, drawing, and pattern-making to aspiring students, remembering her own struggles. She collaborates with fashion schools and community organizations to create opportunities for underrepresented individuals and promotes inclusivity through workshops, mentorships, and diverse representation in fashion spaces.

Through her journey, Genette Mujar has proven that talent, when paired with determination and compassion, can transform lives. From crafting to support her family in the Philippines to becoming a celebrated designer in Canada, her story continues to inspire. With every stitch and design, she not only builds her legacy but also uplifts others along the way.

As we honor empowered women this National Women’s Month, we proudly feature the inspiring story of 𝑫𝒓.

Dr. Garcia holds a Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Chemistry from Bicol University College of Education, a Master of Arts in Chemistry, and a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership and Management from Bicol University Graduate School. With over two decades of service in the Department of Education, she has held leadership roles in schools such as Rapu-Rapu NHS, San Jose NHS, and Libon Agro-Industrial High School - leaving a trail of growth, empowerment, and innovation wherever she is assigned. She is a CPD-accredited educator, NEAP and division trainer, and a sought-after speaker in the fields of leadership, inclusive education, and curriculum development.

Her contributions extend far beyond the classroom. She is a published researcher with notable works such as The Four Temperaments and The Effect of the Organizational Climate on Teachers’ Performance and Job Satisfaction. Her accolades include being named Outstanding Principal of the Year and receiving the Best Virtual Presenter award at a PNU research conference. Known for her mentorship, she has inspired and empowered countless educators to pursue promotions and growth, living by her mantra: “𝗪𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿”.

Behind her professional success is a woman deeply grounded by faith and family. Dr. Garcia is a loving wife to Mr. Jhay Garcia and a proud mother to two wonderful children—Lanz Christian and Samantha Chloe. She has gracefully balanced the demands of her personal and professional life while navigating the complexities of leadership, organizational change, and interpersonal dynamics in schools. Her guiding principle is simple yet powerful: serve with heart, lead with purpose. A true champion of Gender and Development (GAD), she actively promotes inclusive programs that uplift all types of learners and empower educators. “𝑾𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆,” she shares - an empowering reminder of her commitment to building a community of compassion, equity, and collective success.

As we wrap up National Women’s Month, we’re putting the spotlight on some amazing empowered women who keep inspiring and leading with heart and purpose!

Stay tuned as we share their incredible stories - women who lift others up, break barriers, and show us all that with passion and purpose, anything is possible. 🌷

Rain or shine, healthcare service must go on! And today, we have witnessed the true spirit of 𝒃𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒉𝒂𝒏 as we came together to serve our community.

It is with great pride and gratitude that we reflect on the success of today’s Medical Mission - an initiative spearheaded by the Malabog National High School Alumni Association, Inc. led by MNHSAAI President 𝑴𝒔. 𝑬𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚𝒏 𝑵𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒂 in partnership with our dedicated allies. This event was more than just about providing healthcare; it was a testament to the power of community, compassion, and service. As alumni, we take pride in giving back to the place that shaped us, and today, we stood not just as former students but as advocates for health, education, and community welfare.

We extend our deepest appreciation to all the health professionals, uniformed personnel, volunteers, and partners who made this mission possible. Your selflessness and dedication in bringing free medical services to our community are truly inspiring. This mission is proof of what we can achieve when we come together—when alumni, schools, local government, and organizations unite for a common cause. Let us continue to uphold the spirit of bayanihan—helping one another, lifting each other up, and ensuring that no one is left behind. Thank you once again, and may we all continue to serve and make a difference.
