𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫 𝐁. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐢, 𝐌𝐏𝐀 🎉✨

Today, we celebrate the birthday of our teacher, mentor, and Director of Community Engagement Services. You are more than a leader of programs; you remind us to care for people behind the work we do. The guidance under your leadership allows us to learn how to serve, be accountable and respect everyone in the community.

We appreciate that you have faith in your students while we are still learning how to be leaders ourselves. We hope this special day gives you the same inspiration and warmth you have been giving us.

Learning about electricity went beyond the classroom as selected student officers from the Liberal Arts and Education Department, along with representatives from other college departments and the Supreme Student Council, took part in Southern Leyte Electric Cooperative, Inc.’s (SOLECO) Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Campaign on September 25, 2026, at the AVR of The College of Maasin, Tunga-tunga, Maasin City.

Empowering Member-Consumer-Owners Through Knowledge, Safety and Responsible Electricity Use was the theme of the campaign, which concentrated on the practical issues which students face in their day to day life such as electricity conservation, electricity safety and the prevention of power pilferage etc.

This was followed by an IEC Contest and Knowledge Check through which the students applied what they learnt. A fun and light stroke to the afternoon session of correct answers with prizes such as notebooks and jackets.

This activity also highlighted TCM and SOLECO's joint initiative to enhance the awareness of its consumers, while encouraging them to conserve energy responsibly. The College received a Certificate of Appreciation from SOLECO for its support and co-operation in hosting the Campaign.
The session did more than just provide information about electricity—it provided a valuable experience for the students in the program that was transferable to their AVR lives at home and in their communities.

The Liberal Arts and Education Department extends its congratulations to the students who earned a place on the Dean’s List for Academic Year 2025–2026.

For students named to the Dean's List, it's not just a distinction on paper. Its importance is that it conveys a consistency that is needed to stay up with lectures, requirements, tests, speech requests, and demands of college life. An achievement is awarded to students who have performed well academically for the duration of the semester.

Their achievement also demonstrates the learning environment provided by the teaching force within the department, and fellow students who are facing common obstacles and approaching deadlines with similar goals of self-development.

To our Dean's Listers, well done to all of you on receiving this recognition. This milestone should be a source of pride, but also a reminder of what is possible with consistent effort and goals.

The LAED community congratulates you on this milestone. Keep moving forward Ka-Tribu. You have done something to celebrate–and this is the beginning of your story. Your achievement is worthy of celebration, and there is much more to your story.

On August 28, students from the Liberal Arts and Education Department (LAED) won several recognitions during The College of Maasin's ASEAN Culmination, which featured students demonstrating their knowledge, creativity and diplomacy through competition and activities.

The students of AB Political Science 3, Junvel R. Rojas, Krasimir Ivo Garvez, and Vyje Athena S. Meking bagged the 2nd Place in the ASEAN Quiz Bee that tested their knowledge on ASEAN’s history, culture, politics and regional affairs. Their performance reflected not only what they had learned inside the classroom, but also their ability to work together when every question demanded a quick decision.

Meanwhile, the colors and ideas of ASEAN were brought to life on an illustration board through the ASEAN Poster-Making Competition. Julianne Bandibas of BSED 1-English and Anne Acasio of AB Political Science 1 earned 3rd Place, turning a blank space into a visual expression of the region's shared identity.

The department's presence was also felt in the ASEAN Youth Summit, where AB Political Science 4 students took on the roles of country delegates and experienced, in a different way, what it means to sit at a table where every position has to be defended.

The summit brought a collection of special awards for the participating delegations. Malaysia was recognized as Best ASEAN Delegation, Best Policy Proposal, and Best Country Analysis. Indonesia received Best Diplomatic Negotiation and Best Head of Delegation, while Singapore earned Best ASEAN Spirit.

When the overall rankings were announced, the delegations stood as follows:
1st – Malaysia
2nd – Indonesia
3rd – Singapore
4th – Thailand
5th – Philippines
6th – Vietnam

Beyond the rankings, the summit gave the AB Political Science 4 students an opportunity to step away from the usual classroom discussions and put diplomacy, analysis, negotiation, and policy-making into practice. It was a setting where knowing an issue was only part of the challenge; knowing how to present, defend, and negotiate that position mattered just as much.

For LAED, the ASEAN Culmination became another space where its students could show what they could do—whether answering under pressure, creating through art, or representing a country across a negotiation table.

The Liberal Arts and Education Department congratulates these students for their achievements and participation in the ASEAN Culmination.
