Here is the Official Poster for National Heritage Month 2026 bearing the theme “Roots and Horizons: Our Shared Heritage, Our Collective Future”

At the heart of this year’s visual is the banig—a symbol of connection, continuity, and community. Just as each strand is carefully woven, our heritage is shaped by the many stories, traditions, and identities that bind us as Filipinos across generations.

Surrounding it are diverse communities, reminding us that heritage belongs to all of us—lived, practiced, and passed on in everyday life. The rising sun speaks of hope, while the vibrant colors reflect the richness and dynamism of our cultural expressions.

As we celebrate National Heritage Month this May, we are invited not only to look back with pride, but to take part in carrying our heritage forward. It is not confined to the past—it is a living legacy, sustained by collective care and shared responsibility.

Together, let us honor our roots and shape our collective future.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞! 💜✊🏻✨

For years, women have been boxed into narrow narratives—labeled as “𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥” to lead or
“𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞” for challenging roles, while their worth is often limited to caregiving. These misconceptions do not only limit women; they also hold society back from reaching its full potential.

Yet around us, women continue to show resilience, courage, and wisdom—breaking barriers and building bridges in our communities, schools, workplaces, and homes.

Today, we celebrate every woman who defies stereotypes. 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲—equal opportunities, equal representation, and a world where every woman can thrive without limits. ✊🏻✨💜

Sustaining productive partnership with the Department of Education - Sapangbato Elementary School

𝐈𝐧 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐬 | 𝐏𝐑𝐌𝐒𝐔, 𝐒𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐒 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩; 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫

CABANGAN, Zambales — President Ramon Magsaysay State University (PRMSU) strengthened its commitment to community-based education as it renewed its Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Sapangbato Elementary School (SES) for the continuation of the Bayanihan: Sapangbato Literacy Development Program, highlighted by the turnover of library materials to support reading development among young learners, March 6, 2026.

The program gathered representatives from PRMSU, the Department of Education, and the SES community to reaffirm their partnership in advancing literacy and strengthening access to learning resources for elementary pupils.

The event also featured the signing of the renewed MOA and the ceremonial turnover of books and learning materials intended to enrich the school’s reading resources and encourage a culture of reading among students.

During the program, Dr. Roy N. Villalobos, University President of PRMSU, delivered an inspirational message emphasizing the University’s mission of extending knowledge beyond the classroom and empowering communities through literacy.

“Ang programang ito ay hindi lamang simpleng pamamahagi ng mga aklat o paglagda sa isang kasunduan; ito ay isang makabuluhang hakbang tungo sa pagpapalakas ng kultura ng pagbabasa at pagkatuto sa ating mga komunidad,” Dr. Villalobos said. “Sa PRMSU, naniniwala kami na ang tunay na layunin ng isang pamantasan ay hindi lamang magturo sa loob ng silid-aralan kundi magbahagi ng kaalaman sa komunidad.”

The University President further highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts in promoting educational development and community empowerment.

“Ang literasiya ay pundasyon ng pag-unlad, ito ang nagbubukas ng isip, nagpapalawak ng pangarap, at nagbibigay ng kapangyarihan sa bawat indibidwal upang baguhin ang kanyang kinabukasan,” he added.

Aside from delivering his message, Dr. Villalobos also personally read a story to selected learners of Sapangbato Elementary School, bringing the spirit of the literacy initiative closer to the children and inspiring them to cultivate a love for reading.

The activity was also attended by key partners and educators involved in the program, including Ms. Anne Kaye P. Martinez, Principal I, and Ms. Virlyn Naungayan, MT II, who supported the coordination and implementation of the literacy initiative.

The Bayanihan: Sapangbato Literacy Development Program is an extension project of PRMSU Iba College of Teacher Education headed by Dr. Zenvi Ann M. Macalinao, College Dean, and Mr. Rey E. Dalusong, project proponent, aimed at strengthening literacy and numeracy skills among elementary learners through community engagement, reading interventions, and educational resource support.

Through the renewal of the partnership and the continued implementation of the literacy program, PRMSU reaffirmed its commitment to fostering lifelong learning and uplifting communities through collaborative education initiatives rooted in the Filipino spirit of bayanihan. #

JAMBI, Indonesia — Strengthening academic diplomacy and advancing global education, the President Ramon Magsaysay State University (PRMSU) once again demonstrated its growing international footprint as two of its esteemed academic leaders delivered compelling public lectures at Universitas Jambi on February 4, 2026.

Dr. Santi A. Magtalas, Iba Main Campus Director, and Dr. Zenvi Ann M. Macalinao, Dean of the College of Teacher Education, took center stage in a scholarly gathering that brought together faculty members, administrators, and students eager to engage in conversations about globalization, education, and workforce readiness in Southeast Asia.

Dr. Magtalas delivered a lecture titled “Developing Cross-Cultural Communication Competence for a Global Workforce.” In his presentation, he emphasized that technical knowledge alone no longer guarantees success in the 21st-century labor market. Instead, he underscored the critical importance of cultural intelligence, empathy, adaptability, and intercultural dialogue in shaping professionals who can thrive in diverse environments. Drawing from real-world examples and regional academic exchanges, he highlighted how universities must intentionally cultivate cross-cultural competence to prepare graduates for increasingly interconnected industries.

Complementing this perspective, Dr. Macalinao presented “Internationalization of Education: The Role of Student Exchange in Workforce Development.” Her lecture explored how international mobility programs serve as transformative platforms for experiential learning. She articulated how student exchanges strengthen not only pedagogical skills but also leadership capacity, resilience, and global awareness, qualities essential for workforce competitiveness. She further emphasized that internationalization is no longer an option but a strategic imperative for institutions aspiring to global relevance.

The public lecture formed part of PRMSU’s expanding collaboration with Universitas Jambi, reinforcing shared commitments to academic excellence and regional cooperation.

Both speakers also accompanied PRMSU students for deployment under the SEA Teacher Project, a Southeast Asian initiative that provides pre-service teachers with international teaching immersion experiences. Through this program, future educators gain hands-on exposure to diverse classroom settings across the region, enriching their pedagogical approaches and cultural understanding.

Among the SEA-Teachers 11th Batch Participants for Universitas Jambi are Ricardo Anastacio Jr., Faye Anne Montevirgen, Rhoda Dianne Rea, and Jennie Evangelista.

Their deployment symbolizes PRMSU’s continuing investment in producing globally competent educators who embody both local commitment and international perspective.

University President Dr. Roy N. Villalobos expressed full institutional support for the public lecture and student deployment, emphasizing that such international engagements are aligned with PRMSU’s strategic thrust toward global competitiveness and academic excellence.

“Our participation in academic collaborations like this reflects PRMSU’s commitment to producing globally competent graduates and strengthening our international partnerships. By empowering our faculty to share expertise and by providing our students with meaningful cross-cultural experiences, we are investing in a future-ready workforce grounded in competence, character, and service,” he stated.
