Department lines disappeared last Saturday, June 27, 2026, as faculty from all colleges of the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos mixed, mingled, and collaborated at Kampo Hiyang-Hiyang. The college faculty started the program with creativity during their hilarious, on-the-spot cheers and yells.

Instead of staying in their usual circles, faculty members were grouped together to enjoy the pool games, share challenges, stories, and build new friendships. It was a masterclass in fun collaboration. It was a day of laughter and learning from colleagues across different disciplines. They arrived as separate colleges but left Kampo Hiyang-Hiyang as one tightly knit university family.

𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌, 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏.

Our ANTP, NTP, and Maintenance personnel recently gathered for a dynamic team-building activity at Kampo Hiyang-Hiyang last June 20, 2026.

Featuring intense, ice-cold, yet fun pool games, they spent the day bonding, laughing, and getting to know the new members of the other units. In the afternoon, they had a reflective group discussion centered around the theme, "Para kanino ka bumabangon?". The session allowed each member to share and listen and empathize with one another.

We are proud of all our hardworking personnel that keeps University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos running and rising every single day!

💙 JUNE is Men's Mental Health Month 💙

This month, we recognize the importance of supporting the mental health and well-being of our male faculty, staff, administrators, and employees.

Men often carry many responsibilities and pressures, yet conversations about their mental health are sometimes overlooked. Taking care of one's mental well-being is not a sign of weakness. It is an act of courage, self-awareness, and strength.

At the UNO-R, we believe that mental health is important regardless of gender. Every individual deserves a safe, supportive, and caring environment where they can seek help, express their feelings, and prioritize their well-being without fear of judgment.

As we observe Men's Mental Health Month, let us continue to build a workplace culture where compassion, understanding, and support are available to everyone.

Remember:
✔️ It is okay to ask for help.
✔️ It is okay to take a break.
✔️ It is okay to prioritize your mental health.

Because every mind matters, and every person matters.

Upholding its commitment to employee empowerment and professional growth, the Human Resource Management and Development Office (HRMDO) successfully conducted the Orientation on the Employees Scholarship Program (ESP) last March 23, 2026, at the President’s Hall of UNO-R, Incorporated.

The activity served as a valuable platform to present the guidelines, opportunities, and essential details of the ESP, which is designed to support the academic and professional advancement of employees within the university.

Through the orientation, participants gained a clearer understanding of the program’s purpose, qualifications, and benefits which give emphasis on UNO-R’s continued dedication to lifelong learning, employee development, and excellence.

By offering initiatives such as this, the university continues to cultivate a workplace culture where growth, opportunity, and professional advancement remain integral to the institution’s pursuit of excellence.

Empowering the backbone of office operations 👜🤎

The Human Resource Management and Development Office successfully conducted a seminar for Administrative Secretaries and Office Assistants last March 18, 2026, at the Psychology Activity Center of UNO-R, Incorporated.

The seminar gathered the university’s administrative secretaries and office assistants for a meaningful learning session designed to strengthen their professional competencies and recognize their vital role in supporting the efficient delivery of office operations and institutional services.

Serving as the Resource Speaker was Dr. Ma. Judy B. Legaspi, Secretary to the University President, who shared valuable insights and practical guidance on professionalism, excellence in service, and the important contributions of administrative personnel in maintaining an organized and productive work environment.

The activity also provided participants with an opportunity to reflect on their responsibilities, enhance their skills, and gain renewed motivation in carrying out their duties within the university.

Through initiatives like this, HRMDO continues to affirm its commitment to employee development by creating learning opportunities that empower personnel, improve workplace performance, and contribute to the continued growth and excellence of the UNO-R community.

From the first whistle to the final cheer, what an incredible run! 🏆🎉
