The University of the Philippines Mindanao, through the Office of Student Affairs and in partnership with the Public Employment Service Office (PESO), successfully concluded the two-day Job Fair Program 2026: Bridging the Gap from University to Workplace. The event served as a platform for students and graduates to gain valuable knowledge, build professional connections, and explore opportunities that will help them transition from academic life to the world of work.

The first day featured a 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫 held at Lorenzo Hall, Administration Building, where participants learned from distinguished industry professionals. Ms. Mary Rose Ofianga, MM, Business Coach and Program Manager of the Wadhwani Foundation Entrepreneurship Program, shared insights on Understanding the Job Market, Application Process, and Acing the Interview, equipping participants with practical strategies for navigating today's competitive employment landscape. Meanwhile, Ms. Sharon L. Binwag-Villalon, Director of Human Resources and People Support of Dole Philippines, Inc. – Stanfilco Division, delivered an engaging discussion on The Right Fit: Things to Consider When Looking for a Job, encouraging students to make career decisions that align with their values, strengths, aspirations, and overall well-being. Lastly, Mr. Felix Te Fabian, CPA, Consultant of Fabian and Associates, CPA, discussed Practical Financial Literacy, emphasizing the importance of sound financial management, responsible decision-making, and long-term financial stability for young professionals.

The second day transformed learning into action through the 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 held at the Atrium, Mini-Theater, and CHSS Rooms. A total of 26 companies and industry partners participated in the recruitment event, providing students, interns, and graduates with direct access to employment opportunities across various sectors. Participants were able to engage with recruiters, submit applications, and undergo interviews, bringing them one step closer to their professional goals.

To further support employment readiness, a 𝐎𝐧𝐞-𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩 was made available through the participation of PhilHealth, SSS , and Pag-IBIG, allowing attendees to access information and services related to their government membership and pre-employment requirements. The successful implementation of the Job Fair was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the University and its co-organizer, Public Employment Service Office (PESO), whose continued partnership helps connect aspiring professionals with meaningful career opportunities.

As we celebrate the success of this year's Job Fair, we extend our sincere gratitude to our resource speakers, participating companies, government partners, PESO, and everyone who contributed to making the event a meaningful and impactful experience. Most importantly, we congratulate our students and graduates for taking active steps toward their future careers. The bridge has been built—now it is time to confidently cross it and thrive in the opportunities that lie ahead.

Sa harap ng mga sakuna at krisis, hindi lamang pisikal na kaligtasan ang mahalaga—kabilang din dito ang pangangalaga sa ating kalusugang pangkaisipan at emosyonal na kapakanan.

Kasunod ng mga nagdaang lindol na nakaapekto sa maraming komunidad sa Mindanao, lalo nating nakikita ang pangangailangan para sa Psychological First Aid (PFA)—isang agarang paraan ng pagbibigay ng suporta upang matulungan ang mga indibidwal na makayanan ang stress, takot, at iba pang emosyonal na epekto ng sakuna. Ang PFA ay nakatuon sa pakikinig, pag-unawa, pagbibigay ng kapanatagan, at pagtulong sa mga tao na makabalik sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na paggana.

Bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng UP Public Service Day 2026, inaanyayahan namin ang lahat na makiisa sa:

📍 Pag-amuma sa Kaugalingon, Komunidad ug Kinaiyahan: A UP Mindanao Offering
Sub-Event: Kasanayan sa Paghahanda at Pagtugon: Suportang Sikososyal
📅 18 June 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Lorenzo Hall, Administration Building, UP Mindanao
📝Pre-Registration Link: https://forms.gle/w4Hk3p2eg5TDMpfh7

Sama-sama nating palakasin ang kakayahan ng ating komunidad sa paghahanda, pagtugon, at pagbangon mula sa mga sakuna—hindi lamang sa aspeto ng pisikal na kaligtasan, kundi pati sa kalusugang pangkaisipan at psychosocial well-being.

Mas matatag na komunidad ang nabubuo kapag may kaalaman, malasakit, at suporta sa isa’t isa.

In light of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that rocked Sarangani and its surrounding areas earlier this morning, June 8, 2026, the Office of Student Development Services (OSDS) extends its concern to all members of our University and their communities who may be affected.

As of the latest PHIVOLCS updates, aftershocks may persist for several days to weeks, and some may be felt in nearby provinces. We encourage everyone to prioritize safety and to monitor official PHIVOLCS advisories and local government announcements.

In line with this, the OSDS is re-opening its Student Incident Report Form to help gather information on the situations of students in UP Mindanao. You may access the report form through this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8Jd6OgF7uh7EpyXcQjhVvrZR1cYDTy3h0AgN1ykZpqjOZSQ/viewform
