The National Service Training Program (NSTP) Class of 2026 marked a meaningful milestone as 357 students gathered for their first-ever NSTP Graduation Ceremony at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines – San Pedro Campus on September 1.

Guided by the theme, “Serve with Purpose, Lead with Heart, Inspire the Future,” the ceremony celebrated not only the completion of the NSTP program, but also the students’ experiences in service, leadership, teamwork, and community involvement throughout the year.

In her opening remarks, Campus Director Dr. Minerva D. Ferranco reminded the graduates that meaningful change can begin with even the simplest actions. Her message reflected one of the important lessons of NSTP: that a small act, when done with sincerity and purpose, can make a big difference.

Guest Speaker Prof. Juan Silva Lazo then challenged the graduates to carry the spirit of service beyond the program through HOPE — “Help One Person Everyday.” More than simply a message for the occasion, HOPE became a challenge for the Class of 2026: to make helping others a continuing part of their lives, even after graduation.

The celebration also gave NSTP President Joaquin Zachary L. Dorongon an opportunity to express his gratitude to the people who made the year-long journey possible. In his Message of Gratitude, he reflected on how NSTP became more than just a requirement, providing students with opportunities to serve, work together, and discover the impact that can come from simply showing up and lending a hand.

Closing the ceremony, NSTP Adviser Prof. Jonalyn Jaranilla shared her message with the graduates as they reached the end of their NSTP journey and looked forward to the responsibilities and opportunities that await beyond the program.

As the Class of 2026 moves forward, may NSTP remain more than a completed requirement. May it be a reminder to continue serving with purpose, leading with heart, and inspiring the future through everyday actions.

And as we take the next steps beyond NSTP, may we remember the challenge left with us today:

𝐇.𝐎.𝐏.𝐄 — 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲.

Congratulations, NSTP Class of 2026! 🎓

Last November 27, PUP San Pedro Campus came alive with creativity, laughter, and kindness during the NSTP Outreach Program, "Kulay ng Kalinga!" The event aimed to bring joy to the children of Brgy. United Bayanihan, nurturing connections and building positive bonds through the magic of art and coloring. 🖍️🌈

The day kicked off with an energizing intermission performance by Dulaang Oyayi Theatre Arts, inspired by Wicked. With Elphaba and Glinda showing that true friendship thrives on bravery and camaraderie, the crowd was truly inspired. 💚🩷

Our little artists then got hands-on with group coloring activities, guided by our NSTP student facilitators, followed by fun and games that had everyone smiling from ear to ear. The day ended on a sweet note with the giving of coloring books, crayons, and lootbags that the children could take home. 🌞🎨

A huge thank you to our NSTP students for decorating the room, organizing, and facilitating the event; to the children for their laughter and energy; and to Dr. Jayson Esmasin and Campus Director Dr. Minerva Ferranco for their inspiring messages; and lastly to our very own NSTP Advisers, Maam Emylane Vicente, Jonalyn Jaranilla, and Elena Roncales for the support and guidance.

Through simple coloring, we shared laughter, built meaningful connections, and created moments that will stay with us—a beautiful reminder that joy grows when we give it with kindness. 💛

Reflecting on a powerful day of connection and learning! 🙏

Our Mental Health Awareness Seminar held last May 17th, themed "Breathe, Move, Thrive" sparked vital conversations about integrating self-care and healthy habits into our demanding academic lives.

Huge thanks to our amazing speakers and everyone who joined! We explored practical ways to manage stress, prioritize well-being, and find balance even when the academic pressure is on.
Let's carry these lessons forward – prioritize your breath, your movement, and your well-being. ✨

Remember, self-care isn't selfish – it's essential fuel to thrive! 💜
