The excitement, pride, and hope all mixed together in the atmosphere of the room as the Department gathered for the Induction of Officers. It was not just a ceremony but a celebration of trust, responsibility, and the common vow to lead with dedication. Each of the officers stood tall and strong, ready for the oath which was going to be taken not only as a milestone but also as a vow to serve with truth and kindness.

The program was opened by 𝕻𝖗𝖔𝖋. 𝕰𝖘𝖒𝖆𝖎𝖑 𝕽. 𝕯𝖎𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖆, an alumnus faculty who served MSU main once as a Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension, with his typical calmness and wisdom. His speech made the audience ready for the afternoon, stating that the two characteristics of a true leader are resilience and honesty. His
humorous but significant stories not only entertained but also made us think about how shininess comes out of the furnace and how it can be called Great.

Next was 𝕯𝖗. 𝕿𝖊𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖎𝖙𝖆 𝕴. 𝕿𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖉𝖔, another alumna, whose presence, in spite of her health concerns, made a strong statement of commitment. Her words were felt by every single listener at the time she stressed that the concept of power and privilege in leadership is wrong — rather, it’s about the combination of knowledge and empathy to bring about change. This was a very powerful and touching reminder that at the heart of true leadership there is humility and service.

The main event of the day was the taking of the oath ceremony under the supervision of 𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗻𝗻 𝗙. 𝗗𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗻. The officers lifted their hand; there was silence in the hall — it was a moment of oneness and genuineness which manifested the essence of the day. It was a small but very strong action: an individual pledge by each
to maintain the values of the department, to be among the first in learning, and to perform all with a good purpose. The whole ordeal of oath taking was like witnessing the dawn of a new day — a day full of commitment and hope being nothing less than renewed.

𝗗𝗿. 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗠. 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗰, in her closing remarks, aroused the passion in everyone with the strength of her words. She pointed out that the induction meant not the end but the start — a call to serve beyond the limits of learning and bring the light of leadership into all walks of life. To a certain extent, her message was both a challenge
and a source of strength: to lead with love, self-control, and kindness.

As the hall was filled with applause and every face became illuminated with smiles, I experienced a moment that was a combination of pride and witnessing a process of growth and unity. The taking of the oath brought back the message of leadership that it is not a case of being above others but being together with others — serving, motivating, and growing together.

The day was not only a ceremony but also a celebration of new beginnings, of promises that were made, and of dreams that were drawn. The Induction of officers indeed marked the day of significance, democracy, and devotion — one that will ever be a source of encouragement for us all to walk the path of righteousness in our leadership and to serve with the heart.

The 5th Ranaw Youth Parliament (RYP) is a leadership and legislative simulation program that gathers youth leaders across Lanao del Sur and Marawi City to engage in discussions, debates, and policy-making processes that mirror the functions of a real parliament.

Your commitment to inclusive governance and social justice truly embodies the spirit of a Ka-Socio leader!

Lagi’t-lagi para sa patuloy na pagpapalakas at pagkilala sa boses ng kabataan!

𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐧, 𝐊𝐚-𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐨!

Right after her delivery, after the audience’ clapping had subsided,

Dr. Datumanong A. Sarangani: beautiful!

Here it is, folks!

ℙ𝕒𝕞𝕓𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕒𝕕 𝕟𝕒 ℙ𝕒𝕟𝕒𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕒 𝕟𝕘 𝔻𝕖𝕜𝕒𝕟𝕒

“Assalamu alaikum at magandang araw sa inyong lahat—sa aking mga kasamang professors, mga mahal kong mag-aaral, at higit sa lahat, sa ating iginagalang na tagapagsalita, Dr. Federico Magdalena.

Ang ating tema ngayon ay tila paglalakbay sa kasaysayan, ngunit kung tutuusin, ito ay salamin ng kasalukuyan. Sapagkat ang “recolonization” na pinag-uusapan natin noong 1920s ay may mga aninong bumabalik sa ating panahon ngayon.

Oo, tapos na ang mga labanan sa espada at baril ngunit patuloy pa rin ang laban sa kamalayan at katarungan. At sa ating modernong lipunan, may mga Moro pa ring kailangang patunayan ang kanilang lugar sa sariling bayan. May mga komunidad pa ring kailangang ipaglaban ang karapatan, at may mga kabataang Moro pa ring kailangang sumigaw para mapakinggan.

Kaya’t habang binubusisi natin ang kasaysayan ng Moro Province, sana ay makita rin natin kung paano ito nagpapatuloy sa ating mga balita, sa ating mga patakaran, at sa ating pananahimik. Ang rekolonisasyon ngayon ay maaaring hindi na tungkol sa lupa—kundi sa isip. At ano ang ating sandata? Edukasyon. Kamalayan. Pag-ibig sa katotohanan.

Dito sa Kolehiyo ng Panlipunang Agham at Pangkatauhan, naniniwala tayong ang tunay na kaalaman ay hindi lang nakasulat sa mga aklat kundi ito ay nakaugat sa karanasan ng bayan.
At ang tungkulin natin bilang akademya ay hindi lang magturo at matutuo, kundi magsilbing tinig ng mga hindi naririnig.

Kaya’t sa harap ng mga hamon ngayon sa Bangsamoro, sa gitna ng mga pagsubok sa pagkakaisa, at sa patuloy na paghahanap ng katarungan, sana ay maaalala natin:

1. Ang kasaysayan ay hindi lang nakaraan, kundi paalala.
2. Ang kapayapaan ay hindi lang pangarap, kundi paninindigan.
3. At ang pagiging Moro ay hindi hamon—ito ay dangal.

Maraming salamat, Dr. Magdalena, sa pagpapaalab ng diwa ng kamalayan at katotohanan. At sa ating lahat, huwag nating hayaan na muling masakop ang ating isipan ng katahimikan.

Dahil laging pagkatandaan na ang kalayaan ay hindi ibinibigay kundi ito ay ipinagpapatuloy.

Mabuhay ang CSSH!

Mabuhay ang Mindanao State University!

Maraming salamat po!”
