𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮, 𝙎𝙚𝙩, 𝙈𝙊𝙑𝙀! August 15, 2026, was a day filled with movement, sweat, and energy as we pushed ourselves beyond our limits through a series of physical activities. We started the day with warm-up stretches, jogging, and other drill exercises, followed by an exciting and competitive game of dodgeball. Each activity challenged us to improve our strength, stamina, speed, and coordination while having fun along the way. To wrap up the day, we enjoyed a fun Zumba session to cool down and end the activity on a high note.

The physical activity was more than just a workout. It was also an opportunity for our unit to build trust, strengthen teamwork, and develop qualities needed to become great responders. Being physically fit, disciplined, and able to work well with others helps us stay prepared and respond effectively when our community needs us.

On August 8, 2026, the IDRRMU officially welcomed the first-ever batch of applicants for the Junior DRRM, alongside the Wave 11 college applicants, through a meaningful and informative Orientation Day.

The orientation provided an opportunity for the applicants to learn more about the IDRRMU’s mission, vision, core values, divisions, and operations, giving them a deeper understanding of the roles, responsibilities, and commitment expected of every member.

The event opened with meaningful remarks from our Adviser, Ms. Domecq Airreil Macaraya, who warmly welcomed the applicants and shared an overview of the unit, its purpose, and its commitment to service.

The orientation was followed by the screening and interview process, where applicants were given the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, character, commitment, and willingness to serve. More than an assessment, the screening allowed the IDRRMU to get to know each applicant—their strengths, personalities, potential, and genuine desire to contribute to the community and the growth of the unit.

To close this memorable day, our Chair, Ms. Czrnee Briones, delivered inspiring closing remarks and words of encouragement to all aspiring Junior DRRM members.

Adaptar reminded everyone what it truly means to be part of the IDRRMU family. He reflected on how far we have come since joining the unit and encouraged us to continue serving with discipline, commitment, and heart.

Each division head then presented important updates and reminders to keep every member aligned with the unit's goals and standards. The different waves also entertained everyone with lively presentations, filling the venue with laughter and making the assembly even more memorable.

One of the highlights of the event was the team-building activities facilitated by Mr. Romeo Sta. Cruz III. Every game and challenge carried valuable lessons that strengthened our teamwork, communication, and trust while creating lasting memories together.

Ms. Maria Luz Cahayagan,
also reminded every member that we do not serve to be blessed—we serve because we have already been blessed. She encouraged everyone to embrace the spirit of "Saved to Serve," recognizing that every opportunity to help, protect, and lead is both a privilege and a calling. To formally close the program, Ms. Domecq Airreil Macaraya shared a heartfelt story that reminded us to be proud of who we have become and that as long as we have the passion to serve, we can continue making a meaningful difference.
