At Mindanao State University – Main Campus, NurseLEAD scholars and nursing faculty are strengthening Community and Public Health Nursing education through culturally responsive, community-centered, and participatory teaching-learning innovations that develop leadership, collaboration, critical thinking, and sustainable public health engagement among nursing students.

Community exposure areas in Lanao del Sur present unique social, cultural, and logistical challenges for nursing education. Students encounter barriers related to community participation, stigma surrounding mental health, unstable field placements, limited community trust, and the need for more meaningful and sustained engagement. These realities require innovative teaching strategies that move beyond traditional approaches toward participatory, reflective, and community-empowering learning experiences.

🔹 Prof. Nasesha Omar developed a community-centered mental health promotion initiative for NCM 122 students that focuses on stress management, coping strategies, partnership-building, and community engagement in Lanao del Sur. Reframing the project from a “mental health fair” into a more inclusive and non-stigmatizing mental health promotion activity, the capstone empowers students to organize health promotion programs, collaborate with local stakeholders, facilitate discussions, and create pathways toward mental health support while strengthening leadership, planning, and collaboration competencies in community health nursing.

🔹 Prof. Maslainie Aliola proposed a community-based public health intervention model that allows students to move beyond simulation and engage in actual community interventions focused on immunization, nutrition, family planning, and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Through direct community engagement, students develop competencies in assessment, community diagnosis, leadership, management, and collaboration while enhancing the teaching-learning experience in public health nursing practice.

🔹 Prof. Janeirah Manalundong introduced photovoice as a participatory and reflective teaching-learning strategy for NCM 122 students. Through visual storytelling and guided reflection, students and community members identify environmental and social determinants of health within their surroundings. Initially piloted through environmental health activities focusing on waste management and community sanitation, the project strengthens cultural sensitivity, critical reflection, community participation, and student appreciation of real-life public health issues through participatory visual methods.

🔹 Enhanced student competencies in leadership, planning, and collaboration
🔹 Increased community engagement through participatory and culturally sensitive approaches
🔹 Strengthened student understanding of mental health promotion and social determinants of health
🔹 Improved reflective learning and critical thinking through photovoice and community immersion
🔹 Expanded opportunities for sustainable and community-centered public health interventions
🔹 Reinforced the value of longer and more meaningful community exposure experiences

Through NurseLEAD, Mindanao State University – Main Campus demonstrates how community-engaged and culturally grounded innovations—from mental health promotion and participatory photovoice to real-world public health interventions—can prepare future nurses to become adaptive, reflective, and socially responsive public health leaders committed to community empowerment and sustainable health promotion.

Among our faculty and alumni, her name is spoken with a quiet, lingering reverence—a name synonymous with both a professor’s brilliance and a mother’s embrace.

To those of us currently navigating the wards and lecture halls, she was a legend from a chapter written before our time. We never heard her voice in a briefing, nor did we feel the steadying guidance of her hand during a clinical return-demonstration. And yet, we see her everywhere.

We see her in the meticulous standards our current mentors demand, and we feel her in the motherly warmth that defines our college’s spirit. We are the beneficiaries of a legacy we didn’t witness, standing on a foundation she spent a lifetime pouring her heart into.

While retirement once called her away from our hallways, her passing now enshrines her forever in our history. We may never have known the woman, but we carry the light she kindled in everything we do.

𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘧. 𝘗𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘢.

With profound sorrow, the College of Health Sciences mourns the untimely passing of our beloved colleague, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐀. 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐚.

A dedicated mentor, a compassionate mother, and a true friend, Prof. Pamisa touched countless lives with her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering commitment to service. Her presence brought light to our institution, and her legacy will continue to inspire generations of health professionals.

Her sudden loss leaves a deep void in our hearts and in the community she so dearly served.

In this time of grief, we extend our deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, and all who were blessed to know her. May we honor her life by carrying forward the values she exemplified so beautifully.

𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧.
May her soul rest in eternal peace. 🕊️

📌Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill Update

Reinforcing the culture of disaster preparedness, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of Lanao del Sur (PDRRMO-LDS) successfully spearheaded the 1st Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) today, March 12, 2026, at the Mindanao State University (MSU) College of Health and Sciences.

The program commenced with an opening message from Dr. Athena Jalaliyah Bacaraman Derico-Lawi, who emphasized the critical nature of disaster preparedness within educational institutions. Providing technical perspective on the university's safety framework, Engr. Muhammad Mustapha delivered a special message on behalf of the MSU Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. He underscored the importance of institutionalizing these drills to ensure that every student and staff member is equipped with life-saving skills.

Participants engaged in high-pressure simulations of real earthquake scenarios, refining their ability to execute essential safety measures—such as the "Duck, Cover, and Hold" protocol—and orderly evacuation procedures. Beyond technical skill, the drill emphasized community cooperation, proving that a synchronized response is the backbone of survival during a natural calamity.

The drill’s seamless ex*****on was the result of an extensive collaboration between academic, medical, and tactical organizations. A formidable list of partner agencies provided technical expertise and logistical support:

Sambitory reaffirmed the province’s commitment to building a resilient Lanao del Sur, noting that today’s successful coordination is a vital step toward safeguarding the lives of all constituents.

During the Kandori 2025 for the MSU Bar and Board passers, held yesterday at the International Convention Center, Sittie Nor-Ashya A. Aliponto, RN—who placed Top 7 in the November 2025 Philippine Nurses Licensure Examination—delivered a powerful message reminding her fellow passers that they are united by a shared journey of "showing up even when it was difficult." She urged her peers to look beyond individual success, challenging them to carry the MSU values of integrity, humility, excellence, and compassion into their professions to uplift communities and serve as instruments of positive change. Her words serve as a heartfelt tribute to the collective resilience of all 2025 passers, emphasizing that their diverse struggles have culminated in a unified mission to serve the people.
