Step into a world where creativity becomes a voice, colors tell stories, and every brushstroke sparks possibility.

Through Project Pinta, we aim to empower young minds through guided canvas painting, value-based storytelling, and engaging wellness activities in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. More than an outreach program, this is an opportunity to inspire children to discover their potential, express themselves freely, and build confidence through art.

As we journey into the vibrant world of creativity, we are reminded that every child carries a unique story waiting to be told and a dream waiting to be painted.

Together, let us create a world where every child can express their dreams, strengthen their self-esteem, and paint a brighter future, one color at a time.

Leadership is not about holding a position—it is about inspiring action, creating opportunities, and becoming a force for positive change.

The University Student Council (USC), in partnership with the Student Development and Welfare Office (SDWO), proudly presents CATALYST: Student Leadership Blueprint Seminar and Workshop, a transformative learning experience designed to equip student leaders with the vision, skills, and values needed to lead with purpose and impact.

Anchored on the theme “Igniting Potential, Driving Change,” this seminar serves as a platform for aspiring and current student leaders to discover their strengths, refine their leadership blueprint, and cultivate the courage to create meaningful change within the university and beyond.

Because every great movement begins with a catalyst—and every Ucian has the potential to become one.

Demonstrating their commitment to student welfare and transformative leadership, University Student Council (USC) President Sean Dale Manaloto and College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences (CONAHS) Governor Maverick Fortuna represented the University at the GINHAWA: Student Well-Being Summit 2026 held on June 3–4, 2026, at Twin Lakes Hotel, Laurel, Batangas. They were accompanied by Ms. Cynthia Derigue, Student Development and Welfare Officer, whose guidance and support further strengthened the University’s participation in this national gathering of student leaders and advocates.

The summit gathered student leaders, educators, policymakers, and advocates from higher education institutions across the country to engage in meaningful discussions on student well-being, mental health, leadership, and the development of supportive learning environments. Through plenary sessions, wellness engagement activities, solution laboratories, and collaborative discussions, participants explored innovative and actionable strategies to strengthen student support systems within their respective institutions.

As representatives of the student body, Manaloto and Fortuna actively participated in conversations centered on personal well-being, academic wellness, digital well-being, peer support initiatives, campus safety, and institutional policies that promote holistic student development. The summit also provided a platform for student leaders to exchange best practices, build networks, and contribute ideas that can help shape healthier and more inclusive academic communities.

Their participation reflects the University’s continuing dedication to fostering student-centered leadership and prioritizing the well-being of every learner. By bringing back valuable insights and actionable recommendations from the summit, the USC and CONAHS reaffirm their commitment to creating programs and initiatives that empower students, promote mental wellness, and cultivate a culture of care, resilience, and excellence within the University community.

Through opportunities such as the GINHAWA Summit, student leaders continue to prove that leadership goes beyond representation—it is about listening, learning, and taking meaningful action to improve the lives of those they serve.

Something bold is stepping onto the runway.

A celebration of identity. A showcase of courage. A stage where every color tells a story.

Get ready to witness the beauty of authenticity and the power of self-expression.

Yesterday, we placed board exam kits into the hands of future nurses. But more than that, we placed a reminder into every heart: you have already come so far.

From the first time you wore your duty uniform to the countless hours spent studying, caring, and persevering, every step has been preparing you for this moment. The Nursing Licensure Examination is not the beginning of your story, it is the culmination of years of hard work, sacrifice, and purpose.

May these kits remind you that confidence is not the absence of fear. It is choosing to move forward despite it. It is trusting the knowledge you have earned, the skills you have developed, and the compassion that makes you a nurse.

One day, the notes will be set aside, the examinations will be over, and the title you have prayed and worked for will finally be yours.

Until then, keep going. Keep believing. Keep showing up.

Future RNs, your dreams are no longer distant, they are waiting for you on the other side of the boards.

𝐂𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨. 🤍
