𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴

As we prepare to welcome a new school year, we are reminded that every learner brings unique experiences, strengths, and challenges into the classroom. To nurture compassion, discernment, and hope, educators must be equipped not only with effective teaching strategies but also with basic counseling skills that enable them to better understand and support their students.

In line with this commitment, the Guidance Center successfully conducted the 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 - 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 on June 2–3, 2026, bringing together faculty members from the Basic Education and Higher Education departments.

Designed to enhance educators' counseling competencies and responsiveness to the diverse needs of learners, the two-day seminar provided practical counseling techniques, valuable insights, and meaningful learning experiences that can be applied both inside and outside the classroom.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our resource speaker, Dr. Mary Jane A. Galang,RGC , for sharing her expertise and inspiring educators to deepen their commitment to fostering inclusive learning environments and promoting student well-being.

We would also like to thank the participants for their active engagement, meaningful contributions, and commitment throughout the seminar-workshop. Your dedication to continuous learning reflects a shared commitment to helping learners thrive both academically and personally.

Equipped with new knowledge and skills, may we continue to empower learners through compassion, understanding, and inclusive educational practices. Every act of support has the power to make a lasting difference.

Hope was ignited and opportunities embraced as graduating students and alumni came together for Job Fair 2026 on 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟐𝟕, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔. Guided by the theme “𝐼𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐻𝑜𝑝𝑒, 𝐸𝑚𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑂𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠: 𝐴 𝑃𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑡𝑜 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑘,” the event became a powerful bridge between academic preparation and real-world employment opportunities.

A total of 17 PESO-accredited employers joined the fair, representing a wide range of industries and offering opportunities within Zamboanga City, across the Philippines, and overseas. Among the participating organizations were 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐗 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐈𝐧𝐜., 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬, 𝐂𝐢𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚, 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜, 𝐈𝐧𝐜., 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧, 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐜., 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜., 𝐂𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐲, 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐜., 𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐚 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐫𝐲, 𝐒𝐌 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫, 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐛𝐲’𝐬, 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐌, 𝐂𝐥𝐲𝐝𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐂𝐂 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚.

Their presence not only opened doors to employment but also provided valuable insights into organizational expectations and professional growth.

The event was further strengthened by the support of government agencies including the 𝑫𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 (𝑫𝑶𝑳𝑬), 𝑫𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒊𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 (𝑫𝑴𝑾), 𝑷𝒉𝒊𝒍𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 (𝑺𝑺𝑺), underscoring the collaborative effort to prepare students and alumni for meaningful careers.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all partner companies for their commitment to empowering future professionals, and to Public Employment Service Office (PESO), whose continued partnership and expertise made this event possible.

Together, we have created a stepping stone for our graduates and alumni as they embark on their professional journeys with hope, confidence, and the determination to shape brighter futures ahead.

Last March 25, 2026, the Guidance Center successfully conducted an Employment Coaching for our graduating college students, an empowering activity designed to prepare them for their next big step into the professional world.

The session opened with a thought‑provoking challenge: “𝖠𝗋𝖾 𝗐𝖾 𝗍𝗋𝗎𝗅𝗒 𝗋𝖾𝖺𝖽𝗒 𝗍𝗈 𝗃𝗈𝗂𝗇 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗐𝗈𝗋𝗄𝖿𝗈𝗋𝖼𝖾?” This question set the tone for reflection, reminding students that readiness goes beyond academic achievement. It requires a willingness to learn, confidence to face new environments, and the courage to take action.

Throughout the coaching, students were guided to see that while the future may be uncertain, it is filled with endless possibilities. Success is not about perfect timing, but about the mindset we choose to develop and the preparation we commit to, even before challenges arise.

The activity also featured a Job Fair Orientation conducted by the Public Employment Service Office (PESO), providing students with practical guidance on exploring job opportunities, navigating applications, and understanding recruitment processes.

This impactful session was made possible through the generous support and expertise of Mrs. Clarissa Miranda and Ms. Kanicar Araneta‑Barandino, whose guidance truly inspired and empowered our students as they prepare to enter the workforce.

As our graduates step into the workforce, we remind them to stay confident, remain curious, and approach every opportunity with purpose. We celebrate their achievements and look forward to seeing them thrive, lead, and make a meaningful impact in their communities and chosen professions.

Not all loving conversations come out right the first time.
Checking in can feel awkward, and that’s okay.

This Love month, normalize asking about mental health, even when the words feel clumsy. Love shows up anyway 💙
