TO: The Mapúa MCM Community

—

Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao (Mapúa MCM) remains steadfast in its commitment to prioritize the safety and well-being of its students, faculty, and staff as it continues to comply with the recommendations of the Office of the City Building Official (OCBO).

Following the completion of the comprehensive reports and documentation, Mapúa MCM is finalizing the proposed repair methodology with LanDev for submission within the week. While awaiting clearance, the institution continues to ensure academic continuity through enhanced online learning support and expanded learning opportunities for all students. The learning continuity plans have already been shared and coordinated with the Commission on Higher Education Region XI (CHEDRO XI) for transparency and due authorization.

To assist our community during this period, the following measures have been implemented:

1. School Fee Discounts – Adjustments in school fees covering the 1st term and succeeding term will be applied to reflect the shift in learning modalities and the ongoing temporary closure of campus facilities by the start of the 2nd term.

2. Expanded Learning Opportunities and Academic Support – Additional academic enrichment and support programs are being developed to enhance the online learning experience. Furthermore, students who may be unable to satisfy their course requirements by the end of the term will be allowed to complete these in the succeeding term without penalty.

3. Critical Front Offices & Student Assistance – The Admissions, Registrar, Treasury, Scholarships, and HelpDesk offices will operate in a skeleton work arrangement and will be stationed at the campus entrance area starting on November 10, 2025, for those who wish to conduct frontline transactions in person.

Stay safe always!

Let us cheer on John Noel R. Cabusas and Joseph D. Dinauto, both 4th Year BS Chemical Engineering students, as they proudly represent Mapúa MCM at the prestigious IEEE R10 Humanitarian Technology Conference 2025 (R10 HTC 2025) this September 29 – October 1, 2025 in Chiba, Japan!

The research title “A Mixed-Review Method Analysis of Green Corrosion Inhibitors for Carbon Steel in an Acidic Environment” of John Noel Cabusas’ group explores sustainable alternatives to traditional corrosion inhibitors, supporting SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Meanwhile, the research title “Meta-Analysis of Biomass-Derived Carbon Material from Agricultural Residue for Heavy Metal Adsorption” of Joseph Dinauto’s group advances waste-to-resource innovation and environmental remediation, aligned with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).

Both works also reflect SDG 4 (Quality Education), showcasing Mapúa MCM’s commitment to developing globally competitive student-researchers, and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), through international collaboration and knowledge exchange.

We send our warmest wishes for safe travels, impactful participation, and meaningful global collaborations as they showcase Mapúa MCM’s dedication to innovation for a sustainable future! 🌏✨
