Fatimanians actively participated in their annual Career Day as part of their preparation for the next chapter of their academic journey—college and beyond. This meaningful event served as a guiding platform for students to explore possible career paths, reflect on their strengths and interests, and gain valuable insights that will help them make informed and confident decisions about their future.

All graduating Senior High School students of CFSI Mabiga took part in the Career Day, held under the inspiring theme “Beyond Dreams: Crafting Your Future with Purpose.” The program encouraged learners to go beyond simply dreaming of success and to begin shaping their goals with intention, clarity, and commitment. Through shared experiences, guidance, and exposure to real-world opportunities, students were empowered to envision a future grounded not only in ambition but also in purpose and direction.

Part of the activity included an informative discussion on the process of securing a government-issued ID, which was thoroughly explained by Mr. Yasser T. Puno, the Academic Coordinator, who served as the resource speaker. This session equipped students with essential knowledge about important documents they will need as they transition into college life and future employment.

Meanwhile, students also gained practical skills on how to craft their own resumes and confidently ace job interviews. This segment was facilitated by the School Registrar, Ms. Marietta A. Montillon, who shared valuable tips on presenting oneself professionally and effectively in real-world employment settings. Through these discussions, students were better prepared not only academically but also in developing the essential life skills needed for their chosen careers.

The highlight and most anticipated part of the event was the Runway of Professions, where selected Fatimanians proudly represented their respective academic tracks by showcasing professional attire aligned with their future career goals. This activity boosted students’ confidence and allowed them to visualize themselves as future professionals, reinforcing the importance of preparedness, self-presentation, and purpose.

Overall, Career Day served as a meaningful reminder that the future is not only something to dream about but something to prepare for. With guidance, determination, and purpose, Fatimanians are now better equipped to take their next steps beyond dreams and toward a future they are ready to craft.

Grade 10 Fatimanians attended their annual Career Day last November 14, 2025, with the theme “Ready, Set, Goal!: Your Career, Your Success.” Spearheaded by the Guidance Office, this activity aimed to equip students with the essential information they need as they prepare for their transition to senior high school.

One of the main highlights of the program was the series of talks delivered by invited resource speakers, who shared their insights and tips on navigating senior high school according to their chosen strand.

Jarence Caye B. Ramos discussed her journey through ABM (Accountancy, Business and Management). Charmaine T. Simbulan shared her exploration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Patrick Carlos D. Famanilay offered his insights on pursuing HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences), while Ian Baron N. David gave tips on becoming competent in the field of ICT (Information and Communications Technology). All resource speakers and attendees shared something in common: being Fatimanians, an experience that helped the students relate to their stories.

After the talks came the most awaited segment of the program: Dress Your Profession. Selected Fatimanians from both the Mabalacat and Dau junior high school campuses were recognized for their effort in dressing professionally to represent their dream careers. A question-and-answer portion was also held for the top three candidates to determine the winners of the Outstanding Future Professional award.

This annual activity is part of the Guidance Office's career guidance program, designed to help Fatimanians develop a clear understanding of who they want to become and which path they wish to pursue for future success.
