Bukidnon State University – Damulog Campus | 🗓️ February 9-13, 2026
With unity and courage, the campus community came together for National Hazing Prevention Week, a meaningful initiative led by the Guidance Office to strengthen awareness, compassion, and solidarity. 🌱

This observance reminded students that true belonging is built on respect, care, and shared responsibility—not on harmful practices. Through conversations and collective reflection, participants embraced the call to stand against hazing and to nurture safe, supportive spaces where every voice matters. 💗

💜 The campaign emphasized that saying no to hazing is saying yes to dignity, friendship, and growth. Together, we choose to protect one another, to walk hand in hand, and to foster a culture where kindness leads the way. 🌷✨

As the day concluded, students carried forward a renewed commitment: to be guardians of safety, champions of respect, and builders of a community where no one is left behind. 💫

With open hearts and gentle conversations, students gathered for Letting Go, Looking Forward: A Mental Wellness Wrap-Up kamustahan designed to help them pause, breathe, and reflect after the demands of final examinations. This meaningful activity, spearheaded by the Guidance Office in collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs and Services (SAS), created a safe space for students to release academic stress, share their experiences, and reconnect with themselves and others. 🌱

Facilitated by Ms. Lykha B. Peñas, RPm, Campus Guidance Designate, the session focused on emotional processing, self-compassion, and healthy ways of letting go of pressures while nurturing hope and resilience for the days ahead. Through guided reflection and open sharing, students were reminded that rest, healing, and growth are essential parts of the learning journey.

💗 This kamustahan served as a heartfelt reminder that it is okay to feel tired, to pause, and to ask for support. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to let go—and courage grows when we choose to look forward together. 💜

As the session came to a close, participants left with lighter hearts, renewed strength, and a shared sense of connection—ready to move forward with compassion for themselves and for one another. 🌷✨

Together, we continue to foster a campus where mental wellness is valued, conversations are safe, and no one has to walk alone. 💫
