OJT TEAM 6 | UNITED IN SERVICE

OJT Team 6 under the leadership of Team Leader Mark Jesther Ventura , together with our fellow Criminology interns from Data Center College of the Philippines, conducted a meaningful initiative to extend help to a Person Deprived of Liberty (PDL).

This activity reflects our shared commitment as future law enforcers to uphold compassion, discipline, and genuine public service beyond our daily duties. Through unity and cooperation, we continue to demonstrate that service is not only about enforcing the law but also about understanding and humanity.

We sincerely express our gratitude for the approval and full support of the Acting Jail Warden, JSINSP Joel A. Guillermo, for allowing this initiative to take place.
Service with integrity. Leadership with compassion.

OJT TEAM 2 | SERVICE INITIATIVE

In line with the initiative of our Team Leader Vince Kenneth Abedes and CCJESO President Mark Christian Gervacio, OJT Team 2 conducted a simple sharing activity in support of a 71-year-old PDL. This activity reflects the core values of NWU–Criminology discipline, compassion, and a genuine willingness to help those in need.

This initiative is a testament to the commitment of the NWU Criminology family to extend service beyond academics and training, embodying the true essence of public service and humanity.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our OJT Advisers for their guidance and full support of this initiative, and to the INPJ Warden, Sir Editor Guiang, for his kind approval and continued support in making this activity possible.

Service with discipline. Leadership with compassion.
