On January 22, 2026, the 𝟮𝙣𝙙 𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝘽𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝 & 𝘽𝙏𝙇𝙀𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 of Blessed Name of Mary College, Inc. (BNOMCI), in coordination with the 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 (𝙉𝙎𝙏𝙋) 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙡 (𝙎𝙎𝘾) 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙚 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙨, successfully spearheaded a comprehensive Community Engagement and Extension Service activity in the Municipality of Ocampo, Camarines Sur. This deployment served as a practical application of the students’ commitment to social responsibility, bringing the institution’s mission of service directly to the grassroots level.

The delegation covered significant ground throughout the day, beginning with courtesy visits to the Local Government Unit (LGU), various municipal offices, and local barangay halls, to establish rapport with local leaders and ensure that our extension initiatives align respectfully with the municipality's governance and development goals.

A central highlight of the deployment was the school campaign conducted by the students. The team visited local educational institutions to engage with the youth, disseminating valuable information about educational opportunities and career pathways available at BNOMCI. This initiative was designed not only to promote our programs but to inspire local students to pursue higher education and to empower them with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their academic futures.

Simultaneously, the group immersed themselves in the community through house-to-house visits. During these residential immersions, the team conducted interviews with residents to gather essential data and assess the specific needs of the families in the area. This direct interaction allowed our students to listen to the stories and concerns of the community members firsthand, ensuring that our future outreach projects are data-driven and truly responsive to the realities faced by the people of Ocampo.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the Local Government Unit of Ocampo, the school administrators, the barangay officials, and most importantly, the families who welcomed us into their homes. Your warmth and cooperation made this activity not just a success, but a meaningful learning experience for our future leaders. We look forward to strengthening these linkages and returning for more fruitful collaborations.

As part of our commitment to meaningful community engagement, BNOMCI students were deployed to Bula, Camarines Sur last January 21, 2026, for their National Service Training Program (NSTP) activities.

Under the banner of the school's 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, our students engaged directly with the community to conduct vital research and assessments. The deployment included a courtesy visit to the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Bula, Camarines Sur, and on-ground interviews with residents to better understand local needs.

We are proud to see our students translating their learning into service!

Last January 20, 2026, representatives from Blessed Name of Mary College, Inc. paid a courtesy visit to the Office of the Municipal Mayor of Pili, Camarines Sur, Hon. Marivic Solano.

Demonstrating the unity of our institution, our delegation included student representatives from the Grade School, Junior High School, Senior High School, and College departments.

As we gear up for our 20th Foundation Anniversary, this visit served as a platform to propose a collaboration with the Local Government Unit of Pili. Anchored on the school’s 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 & 𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨, this initiative aims to ensure that our milestone celebration goes beyond festivities and includes meaningful community engagement and service. The proposed project fosters a synergy of skills where 𝗦𝗛𝗦 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 handle business development and marketing, 𝗕𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 lead food development and innovation and sales, and 𝗕𝗧𝗟𝗘𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 manage instructional workshops and events—all while serving a charitable cause, with proceeds directly supporting the BNOM College Scholarship Program.

In addition to this academic endeavor, the team proposed a sports initiative aimed at promoting physical wellness and community camaraderie.

Our students took the forefront in presenting the proposed activities, clearly articulating how our anniversary goals align with the needs of the municipality.

We thank Mayor Solano for the warm reception and for supporting our vision of an academically driven and socially responsible celebration.
