Last June 6, 2026 | the 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (LISSA) of the 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (DLIS) marked a meaningful transition as the torch of leadership and service was formally passed from the officers of A.Y. 2025–2026 to the incoming leaders of A.Y. 2026–2027.

The outgoing officers leave behind more than accomplishments. They leave a legacy of dedication, commitment, and excellence. Through their hard work and exemplary service, they established standards that strengthened the organization and inspired those who will follow in their footsteps.

As a new chapter begins, the torch now rests in the hands of a new generation of leaders. With the foundation laid by their predecessors, we are confident that they will uphold these standards, embrace new challenges, and create a legacy uniquely their own.

Leadership may change, but the commitment to serve remains constant.

To our outgoing officers, your term may have come to an end, but the impact of your leadership will continue to be felt in the organization you helped shape. Thank you for your dedication, sacrifices, and invaluable contributions. The standards you set and the legacy you leave behind will remain a source of inspiration for the LISSA generations of leaders to come. To our incoming officers, congratulations as you carry the torch forward and continue the journey of excellence.

✨ The legacy continues.

DISCLAIMER:
● Candidates who were not elected during the voting process were assigned to open positions where no candidates ran, in order to ensure that all organizational positions are filled and responsibilities are properly distributed. This was agreed upon by the COMELEC and the LISSA Adviser, and is in accordance with the provisions of LISSA Constitution and By-Laws (CBL).

● All processes conducted during the election, including the Miting de Avance and Election Day, were carried out in full compliance with the LISSA Constitution and By-Laws (CBL), ensuring fairness, transparency, and proper governance throughout the electoral process.

● The SC Representatives’ positions were determined during the college-wide election held on May 2, 2026, which was conducted simultaneously with the selection process for the Supreme Student Government (SSG) representatives, in order to identify and finalize the official representatives to be endorsed to the MSU SSG.

● There is currently no elected 1st Year Representative, as this position will be subjected to voting during the next General Assembly.

Congratulations to all our newly elected officers! We are excited to witness the leadership, innovation, and service you will bring to our department. Let us make this academic year one of excellence, growth, and unity!

𝐀𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡: 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 – 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐒𝐒𝐇 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐟𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَدَقَتَنَا هَذِهِ رِضًى لَكَ وَبَرَكَةً لِمَنْ أَعْطَى وَمَنْ تَلَقَّى

(O Allah, make this act of charity pleasing to You, and a source of blessings for those who gave and those who received. )

Alhamdulillah! The 1st CSSH Grand Iftar Drive, held on March 14–15, 2026, successfully reached 669 beneficiaries, raising ₱73,140 through the generosity of our donors. This initiative was made even more meaningful as it marked 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗔’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 with other student societies, uniting 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗙𝗜𝗟, 𝗔𝗠𝗞𝗔, 𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗦, and the 𝗖𝗦𝗦𝗛 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 led by Chief 𝙃𝙖𝙛𝙨𝙖𝙝 𝙃. 𝙎𝙖𝙞𝙙 to serve the community with love and compassion.

On behalf of LISSA, we are so grateful and happy for this collaboration, which reflects the true spirit of teamwork, service, and faith. Special thanks to our very own Ate pres. 𝙉𝙞𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝘼. 𝙄𝙢𝙖𝙢, whose vision and determination pushed this collaboration forward, making it possible for all the societies to work together seamlessly.

As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“The one who guides others to do good will have a reward like the one who does it.” – Sahih Muslim
This hadith beautifully reflects our collaboration—every student, officer, and volunteer involved shares in the reward of serving others, demonstrating the power of unity and working together for good.

On Day 1, we distributed iftar packs to Torils and Masjids (269 beneficiaries from 6 Torils and 400 beneficiaries from 3 Masjids), including meals, groceries, hygiene kits, and donated clothes.

On Day 2, a community pantry allowed us to share groceries, fruits, vegetables, and daily essentials with families outside the gym. Witnessing the smiles, joy, and gratitude of the beneficiaries reminded us that even small acts of giving can leave a lasting impact.

We extend our deepest thanks to all donors, volunteers, and organizers, especially the three societies and the CSSH Student Council. May Allah reward your efforts, multiply your blessings, and continue to inspire more collaborations in goodness.

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَاجْعَلْهَا خَيْرًا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ
(O Allah, bless their wealth and deeds and make them a source of goodness in this life and the Hereafter.)

In Sha Allah, this marks the start of many more collaborations, inspiring students to unite in faith, compassion, and service.

𝐀𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡: 𝐀 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐟𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا وَمِنْكُمْ وَبَارِكْ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَعْمَالِهِمْ

(O Allah, accept from us and from them, and place blessings in their wealth and their deeds.)

First and foremost, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the generous donors who shared their blessings—whether through cash or in-kind donations. Because of your kindness and generosity, our Department Iftar Drive Donation became meaningful and successful. Jazakumullahu Khayran for your support, and may Allah reward you with goodness beyond measure.

Alhamdulillah, this initiative was made possible through the efforts of the 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗔) under the Department of Library and Information Science, led by our dedicated Society Head, 𝗡𝗶𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗔. 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗺, whose leadership, guidance, and sincere efforts played a vital role in making this activity possible. We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to our respected faculty members—𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗰𝘀𝗼-𝗚𝗼, 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗛𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗠. 𝗔𝗯𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗠. 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻—for their encouragement and support to the students in conducting this initiative.

With grateful hearts, we were honored to share the blessings of iftar with our chosen beneficiaries. For our first beneficiary, the girls’ toril 𝐃𝐚𝐫 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐎𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐬, we were able to distribute groceries, donated clothes, dates, one sack of rice, iftar meals, and fruits to 26 girls. Meanwhile, for our second beneficiary, 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐥 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦 / 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐣𝐢𝐝 𝐇. 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢, which serves both the masjid community and a boys’ toril, we shared iftar meals and dates with 95 boys. Alhamdulillah, the total number of beneficiaries reached 121 individuals, all receiving the blessings and care from this initiative.

To all the donors, volunteers, LISSA officers, and LISSA students who dedicated their time, effort, and generosity to make this initiative successful, may Allah accept your sadaqah, multiply your rewards, and grant you abundant blessings in this life and in the Hereafter.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْزِهِمْ خَيْرَ الْجَزَاءِ وَارْزُقْهُمْ بَرَكَةً فِي أَرْزَاقِهِمْ

O Allah, reward them with the best reward and grant blessings in their sustenance.

In Sha Allah, this act of sharing will continue in the coming years. May Allah allow us to serve more and spread more الخير (goodness).

See you again next Ramadhan 1447.
