A Seat at the Table: Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga Day

Under Proclamation No. 326, s. 2012, "Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga" Day reminds us of the importance of sharing meals and promoting proper nutrition. But a meaningful meal is about more than food. Whether with family, friends, classmates, or loved ones, sharing a meal can offer comfort, connection, and a sense of belonging. So, kumusta ka? Have you been eating well and taking care of yourself?

This September 28, "Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga" Day will be observed starting at 1:00 PM. Morning classes will continue as scheduled, so students are expected to attend their classes.

Let us take time to share a meal, connect with others, and remember that everyone deserves a seat at the table.

Lead with Character, Serve with Heart

Edenton Mission College, Inc. (EMCI), through the College Supreme Student Council (CSSC), strengthened the leadership skills of student leaders through a Leadership Training held at Iriz Garden Resort on September 18, 2026, with the five major officers from each organization in EMCI participating in the program. Centered on the theme, “Building Leaders: Lead with Character, Serve with Commitment,” the training aimed to equip student leaders with essential skills for effective and responsible leadership.

During the first session, Hon. Kenneth Lance A. Rocapor discussed the fundamentals of leadership, encouraging participants to take the first step toward growth. He reminded them, “Hindi mo kailangan maging magaling para mag simula, kailangan mo lang mag simula para gumaling.”

For the second session, Ms. Xaña Angel Eve M. Apolinar focused on written communication, emphasizing the importance of a leader’s ability to write effectively. She also advised participants not to rely too heavily on artificial intelligence when producing written work.

Wrapping up the speaker series, Ms. Honey Gylle K. Diaz discussed accounting and accountability, highlighting their role in responsible organizational management. The session equipped student leaders with practical knowledge in financial stewardship, project management, and sustainability.

The event was organized through the efforts of the CSSC, headed by Ma’am Jovelyn Datang, LPT, preparing student leaders to serve their school community with integrity, responsibility, and commitment.

“Ma’am/Sir, second term na po ba talaga?”

Yes na yes! The Elementary and High School Departments are officially back on September 16, 2026, as we kick off the Second Term!

New term, new lessons, new goals—and probably a few “Ma’am/Sir, may assignment po ba?” moments along the way.

Let’s start this term with fresh goals, renewed focus, and good energy for everything ahead. 💙

Smothered & Scorched: Surviving the Heat and Haze

Temperatures have been climbing to pretty wild levels lately, feeling a lot like an all-out tag team match against blazing heat and stubborn haze all at once. As of September 9, 2026, Maitum has been right in the middle of this intense weather combo, making it tough to stay comfortable outdoors.

Life under this scorching weather has turned stepping outside into a daily sacrifice. Families, students, and workers must endure the blistering air, risking their comfort and health just to get to classes, jobs, and daily tasks under the blazing sun.

Staying safe means keeping hydrated, dodging the midday sun, and looking out for one another. Stay safe, Edentonians!
