The final session of the Leaders’ GAcaDemy Batch 3 marks not just the culmination of a transformative journey, but the beginning of a greater responsibility as emerging leaders.

Graced by two inspiring speakers, Ms. Alizea Shulee E. Nagamos emphasized that true leadership is rooted in strong moral values, integrity, and accountability—reminding everyone that leadership starts from within. Meanwhile, Dr. Sonny Soriano expanded perspectives through his discussion on the Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting the role of leaders in addressing global challenges and creating lasting, meaningful impact within communities.

Together, these sessions reinforced a powerful message: leadership is both a personal commitment to uphold values and a collective responsibility to drive positive change.

As the Batch Transcenders conclude their GAcaDemy journey, they carry with them not only knowledge and skills, but also a renewed sense of purpose—to lead with integrity, act with vision, and serve with impact.

The end of this session is only the beginning of their leadership legacy.

This is it, Batch Transcenders — our FINAL session before the Leadership Camp and Completion Ceremony!

Join us on April 16, 2026, as we conclude the Leaders GAcaDemy journey with two distinguished speakers who will equip you with essential perspectives on leadership and global responsibility.
