🌿 Life may throw challenges our way, but with a strong heart and a hopeful spirit, we can overcome anything.
This Mental Health Month, let’s remember to prioritize our well-being, practice self-care, and support one another. 💚

To everyone still fighting silent battles—we’re proud of you for continuing, for choosing to stay, and for showing up every day.🌻

Dasig Lang—keep pushing forward and stay resilient.
Together, we build stronger minds and more hopeful communities. 🌱

As we near the end of 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆, let’s be reminded that caring for our mental health is not just something we do once a year; it is something that deserves our attention every single day. 💚

This year’s global theme, “𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 - 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨,” reminds us that when the world around us is shaken, tending to our inner world is just as vital as rebuilding what’s around us. 💛

The official observance may end in just a few hours, but 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆. Together, we can build a world that values 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙮 as much as productivity, 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 as much as success, and 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 as much as achievement. ✨

Hindi biro ang inyong pinagdaanan upang marating ang puntong ito, mula sa masusing pag-aaral, walang tulog na gabi ng paghahanda, hanggang sa lahat ng sakripisyo na inyong tiniis. Ang bawat pagod at hirap ay nagbunga ngayon ng tagumpay na hindi lamang para sa inyo kundi para rin sa ating lipunan.

Ang inyong pagkakapasa ay hindi lang isang personal na milestone. Isa itong patunay na handa na kayong maging katuwang sa pagpapalakas ng kamalayan at serbisyo para sa mental health sa ating bansa. Sa inyong mga kamay nakasalalay ang mas maliwanag na bukas para sa maraming Pilipino na umaasa sa mas malasakit, mas may kaalaman, at mas may pusong propesyonal. 💙

Maging inspirasyon sana ang inyong tagumpay sa mga susunod na henerasyon ng mga estudyante at propesyonal sa larangan ng sikolohiya. Nawa’y patuloy kayong magbigay ng ilaw at pag-asa, at magsilbing sandigan ng mga taong nangangailangan ng gabay sa kanilang paglalakbay tungo sa kagalingang pangkaisipan.

Mabuhay ang mga bagong Psychometricians!

A Words of Appreciation to Mr. Zedney Villados, our Psychology Program Head

We, the RMC-JPS, are immensely proud beyond words and inspired without doubt. Congratulations on passing the 2025 Psychometric Licensure Examination, Sir Zed!

You're not just an exemplary professor who made every discussion as understandable as you can; you're also one of the people who made sure that we, psychies, experience the realities of being a mental health advocate.

Behind every success of our activities are the people who did their best to lift up our program. Your every hardwork reminds us that we also need to do our part as a student as we have a professor who always make sure we feel heard and valued.

Cheers to another success, Sir Zedney B. Villados, RPm, RPsy!
