DLSZ - Social Action Office

Yesterday, May 2, 2026, we had the opportunity to visit families affected by the recent fire who are currently staying at the Barangay Sucat Covered Court and Sucat Elementary School in Muntinlupa City.

We brought storybooks, pre-loved clothes, and donated LS shirts for the children and their families. These efforts were made possible through the generous contributions of our parents and students.

At present, nearly 800 individuals remain in need of assistance, particularly in terms of cooked meals and ready-to-eat food.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Philippine Association of Social Workers, Inc. (PASWI) – Muntinlupa Chapter for coordinating and for assisting us in the distribution of goods.

Sulong, Juan. Sulong, kabataan. 💚

Through Sulong Juan, the De La Salle Santiago Zobel Grade 12 Batch 2025 continues to turn learning into meaningful action. Led by the Grade 12 Filipino Department in collaboration with the Social Action Office, this initiative empowers students to respond to real community needs while living out the values of pagiging makabayan, mapanuri, at makatao.

Last April 8, 2026, part of the funds raised was used to donate a coffee machine to the National Training School for Boys, supporting the residents’ livelihood formation and opening opportunities for skill-building and reintegration. As Lasallians, we are called not only to learn, but to act in solidarity and become instruments of change.

We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to the Grade 12 Filipino Department for making this initiative possible.

Today, April 22, 2026, the Information Systems and Technology Services (ISTS) Department of De La Salle Santiago Zobel School, through its Social Action Office (SAO), donated 16 computers to our partner, the Enrique Zobel Foundation Inc.

In a time when access to technology plays a vital role in education and opportunity, this initiative aims to support learners and communities by providing essential tools for digital learning and growth. These computers represent more than just equipment, they are gateways to knowledge, empowerment, and brighter futures.

The Enrique Zobel Foundation will utilize these donated computers for the students of the Enrique Zobel Technical Center (EnzoTech) and Barangay Health Workers, helping them enhance digital literacy, improve access to learning resources, and strengthen their capacity to serve their communities more effectively.

This meaningful effort reflects the Lasallian commitment to service and solidarity, reminding us that when resources are shared, lives are transformed.

Together, we continue to build a community where education and compassion go hand in hand. 💚

In these challenging times marked by rising fuel prices and economic strain, jeepney drivers continue to show up each day, keeping communities moving despite shifting income realities.

This initiative stands in solidarity with the jeepney drivers of BMCX SV3 JODAI Multi Transport Cooperative through the distribution of essential goods. These donations reflect a shared effort across the Lasallian community: treat packs prepared by Grade 2 students as part of their Math class, Go Bags from Grade 12 students through their Filipino class, and various goods offered during Campus Holy Masses, showing that learning can lead to meaningful action.

Heartfelt gratitude is extended to Ms. Ping from the Learning Resource Center, whose generosity and volunteerism continue to inspire, especially as she prepares for her well-deserved retirement. 💚

Ang paghilom ay nagsisimula sa pagtanggap at pagpapatawad.

Last April 8, 2026, the Social Action Office, in collaboration with the Campus Ministry Office, successfully conducted 𝘒𝘈𝘓𝘖Ó𝘉: 𝘈 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 with the theme “𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘢 𝘕𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘢: 𝘚𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘥, 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪-𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘢” to its partner National Training School for Boys.

This meaningful encounter became a sacred space for reflection, healing, and renewal. The day centered on rediscovering oneself, embracing forgiveness, and experiencing God’s unconditional love. Through moments of prayer, sharing of the Word of God, personal reflection, and guided activities, the residents were invited to look within, confront their past, and open their hearts to grace and transformation.

KALOÓB served as a reminder that forgiveness is not only for others, but also for oneself. It is a journey toward inner freedom, peace, and hope. In choosing to forgive, we begin to unburden the heart and make space for healing, growth, and new beginnings.

May this experience continue to inspire lives of faith, compassion, and renewed purpose.

Today marked the culmination of the two-day training for Calatagan Child Development Workers, facilitated by the DLSZ Early Childhood Team. It began with a workshop applying yesterday’s training on play-based teaching strategies, including storytelling, arts and crafts, and music and movement.

The CDWs showcased their own unique teaching approaches by creating new songs, introducing innovative methods, and even developing instructional materials. We also held a team-building activity that highlighted camaraderie and fun among the CDWs and the ECE Team.

The program was made even more special as we turned over donations from the Grade 1 and Kinder students, which were part of their academic integration across their respective subjects and the Social Action Office. The day was further enriched by the presence of our Senior Vice President, School Principal, and LFMD Director, who shared insights on the value of teachers handling young children in school settings.

That’s the end of Sanay Lunsaran 2026! Thank you, DLSZ ECE Team and MSWDO Calatagan! ⋆˚✿˖°

Sanay Lunsaran 2026: Nurturing Creativity and Empowering CDWs through Play-Based Teaching Strategies ♡ ̆̈

The Social Action Office, in collaboration with the DLSZ Early Childhood Education Department, successfully conducted the first day of a two-day training program focused on play-based teaching strategies. The program featured interactive sessions on storytelling, arts and crafts, and music and movement, showcasing the best practices of our very own PKK teachers.

With the active participation of Child Development Workers from Calatagan, Batangas, the sessions were brought to life through their enthusiasm and shared commitment to fostering creativity and holistic development in early childhood education.

Thank you, DLSZ Early Childhood Education Team, for making this meaningful learning experience possible. See you tomorrow for another day of inspiration and growth! 𖠋♡𖠋

Through them, the mission lives on not just in words, but in everyday acts of compassion and faith. Their presence shapes lives. Their witness sustains the mission.

Our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Banny Limbo, Director of the Lasallian Mission Services, for facilitating the session and helping create a space that truly honored these women.

Episode 3 of 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗻 | 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝘀 brought together educators, parents’ associations, and non-teaching staff from our partner public schools in DepEd Muntinlupa and partner institutions, all united by one purpose, to create safer and more compassionate spaces for our learners.

Behind every child who feels safe is an adult who is supported. When caregivers are given the tools and space to grow, children are nurtured with more compassion and care. In the end, it is always about creating a better, safer world for them.

Maraming salamat to our volunteer facilitators from the School Counseling Office, Ms. Marianne Ani-Jabique and Mr. Albert Mathew Alonzo, for generously sharing their time, wisdom, and heart in guiding this conversation.

Sa patuloy na pag-aaruga sa isa’t isa, 𝒑𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒐𝒏. 💚✨
