Congratulations!!!

In a fast-moving world where many problems arise, people come together and pitch their ideas into a solution. A program like the 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐚𝐛 (𝐘𝐁𝐋𝐋) is designed for Filipino students to nurture the creativity that lies within themselves, a safe space where mistakes aren’t a failure but an opportunity. An 8-month journey where students across the country are invited to participate in this event.

After an 𝟖-𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲, the participants are equipped with more ideas and skills that push them to go further. The sky is the limit, and their ideas go beyond the heights of the 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐠 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲. Brilliant minds gathered in one place, honed to lead with a purpose, and to propel the economy forward. During the event, they socialized strategically. As their interactions increase, their network expands too.

The Junior Economics Society proudly recognizes its student scholars for their outstanding performance in the Young Banatao Learning Lab (YBLL) 3.0 Ideathon/Hackathon, an innovative initiative spearheaded by the𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐃𝐞𝐯 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬.

Meanwhile, 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩, 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐫, were recognized as the 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥.

The Young Banatao Learning Lab continues to strengthen the foundation for the younger generation to come forward, explore, and lead.

The Department of Economics beams with pride as we celebrate the MSU-IIT Junior Economics Society (JES) for their remarkable achievements at the Junior Philippine Economics Society (JPES) Excellence Night 2026!

To be recognized as one of the Top Outstanding Member Organizations—and to stand as the sole awardee from outside Luzon—is a groundbreaking milestone that highlights the strength, passion, and commitment of our student leaders and members.

We likewise applaud Arielle Kirsten Jumawan for earning the prestigious Outstanding Regional Council Member award. Her exemplary leadership and commitment continue to shine a light on the vast potential of young economists from Mindanao.

To the entire JES student leadership, led by Aikonhart M. Lagdameo, and its organization adviser, Asst. Prof. Gerrich Aldin C. Babanto, alongside all its members: thank you for raising the banner of MSU-IIT so high on the national stage. Your hard work, resilience, and passion make the entire Department immensely proud.
Keep soaring high, JES!
To God be the glory! ❤️
