Today, the nation pays tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of the people who valiantly fought for our freedom and helped bring the country to where it is now. This national observance has a long history rooted in laws and traditions that reflect how Filipinos have honored their heroes through the years.

By virtue of Republic Act No. 3827, the Philippine Legislature first institutionalized the celebration of National Heroes Day in 1931, declaring every last Sunday of August of every year as a national holiday. For a time, however, the occasion was traditionally observed on November 30, coinciding with the death anniversary of Andres Bonifacio.

In 1952, President Elpidio Quirino reverted the observance of National Heroes Day to the last Sunday of August through Administrative Order No.190.

Later, on July 24, 2007, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed into law Republic Act No. 9492, which moved the celebration of National Heroes Day to every last Monday of August in support of her “Holiday Economics” program meant to reduce work disruptions and boost domestic leisure and tourism.

From the heroes of the past, whose courage paved the way for independence, to the everyday heroes of the present who tirelessly serve and uplift our communities—their stories remind us that heroism is not only found in battlefields but also in simple and selfless acts we do for others.

Students of Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) can now access innovative instructional resources as the university recently launched seven new faculty-authored books designed to advance teaching and enhance student learning experiences.

The books, ranging from pharmaceutical workbooks to education and literature resources, were officially unveiled during the very-first Book Launch of MMSU Press on Friday, August 22, at the Center for Flexible Learning (CFL).

Authored by 13 members of the faculty, the titles include the following: A textbook in Recruitment and Selection: Text and Cases, Learning Habits: Perspective of Education II, Current trends in Teaching: Language, Reading, and Literature; Workbook on Community Pharmacy Internships, Pharmaceutical Biochemistry Laboratory Manual, Pharmaceutical Calculations and Techniques Workbook, and Dispensing 1 Workbook.

In his message, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Aris Reynold V. Cajigal assured students that the university will continue to expand resources that will make learning more engaging and accessible.

“We will continue to use this knowledge [the published books] for the improvement of the teaching and learning process,” Cajigal said.

Likewise, Dr. Winicel Mae C. Ancheta, one of the 13 faculty-authors, extended her gratitude towards the MMSU Press and the Instructional Material Development Office for supporting the publication, emphasizing that the launch is a collective milestone for the entire MMSU community.

“This moment is not just for us writers but the whole community of learners, educators and dreamers,” she added.

The launch was witnessed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairperson Shirley C. Agrupis, CHED Commissioner Ricmar P. Aquino, CHED RO1 Director Christine N. Ferrer, MMSU President Virgilio Julius P. Manzano, Jr., 2nd MMSU President Santiago R. Obien, Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College (ISPSC) President Mario Obrero, members of the MMSU Board of Regents, and other MMSU stakeholders.

The MMSU Press serves as the university's publishing arm under the Office of Strategic Communication, committed to delivering quality and accessible instructional materials such as the published books to the stallion community.

𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦 | The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairperson and former MMSU President, Dr. Shirley C. Agrupis, was honored today as the featured figure in the 8th Rice Paddy Art project, launched by Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) and PhilRice-Batac. The design featured her portrait alongside her 7-point ACHIEVE agenda.

Agrupis became the first alumna to lead MMSU and served as the university's 7th president from 2017 to 2025. During her eight-year tenure, she steered MMSU to global visibility through improved international rankings, expanded accreditations, and major infrastructure projects.

Now in its eighth year, the MMSU Rice Paddy Art, which began in 2018, has promoted modern rice farming technologies and has been a unique agri-tourism attraction in Ilocos Norte.

In the Philippines, a nation as diverse in its geography as it is in its people, education remains a powerful catalyst for change (De Guzman, 2003). However, this catalyst is often out of reach for a significant portion of the population due to financial barriers. In a country that is characterized by a vast gap between rich and poor people, scholarships can be thought of as offering opportunities to bright and deserving students, regardless of economic status, to gain access to higher education and make a worthy contribution to the development of the country.

At Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), a dedicated unit ensures that financial hardship does not hinder a student's academic journey. The Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) aims to enrich students' experiences and supplement academic programs through educational, athletic, cultural, spiritual, civic, and social activities. Under the OSAS, the Institutional Student Programs and Services (ISPS) is at the heart of the university's scholarship and financial aid initiatives. Its clear mission is to generate, manage, and allocate funds to help deserving students thrive.

By establishing strong connections with government agencies, private institutions, and a network of supportive alumni, the ISPS unit makes a wide array of scholarships and grants genuinely accessible to the MMSU community. This proactive approach ensures that students, especially those from vulnerable sectors, are given the opportunities they need to succeed (𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴, 𝘯.𝘥.). These opportunities are available to everyone, not just the most successful students. Whether you are an academic high-achiever, have a particular talent, or are facing financial difficulties, there are chances for you.

So, for every MMSU student aspiring to a brighter future, we urge you to take the initiative, explore the scholarships offered through the MMSU’s Student Affairs and Services, and proactively invest in yourself. Your academic journey, personal growth, and potential contributions to the Philippines are far too important to be left uncertain. Seize these opportunities now—for your own sake, for your future, and for the incredible promise you hold within.

Bawat taon, tuwing buwan ng Agosto, isang sandaling paglingon sa mga naiwang bakas ng kahapon ang itinataguyod ng sambayanang Pilipino.

Binibigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng pag-alala at pagbabalik-tanaw sa ating pinagmulan sa pamamagitan ng Buwan ng Kasaysayan. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘆𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗹𝗴. 𝟯𝟯𝟵 𝗻𝗮 𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟮, 𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗴𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗵𝗮𝗻. Isa itong pagkakataon upang ipaalala sa lahat ng Pilipino na ang ating pagkakakilanlan ay nakaugat sa ating nakaraan.
Hindi maikakaila na malalim ang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas mula sa panahong pre-kolonyal, sa mahigit tatlong siglong kolonisasyon, hanggang sa mga rebolusyong nagbigay-daan sa ating kalayaan. Kaya naman napakahalaga ng pagdiriwang na ito upang ipaalala na ang ating bayan ay hindi lamang bunga ng nakalipas, kundi patuloy na hinuhubog ng ating mga alaala at karanasan.

Sa mabilis na pagbabago ng lipunan, madalas natatabunan ng modernisasyon ang ating nakaraan. Ngunit sa pamamagitan ng Buwan ng Kasaysayan, muling naibabalik ang halaga ng ating mga bayani, kultura, at panitikan. Tinatampok din ang mga hindi madalas nabibigyang-pansin na aspekto ng ating kasaysayan tulad ng buhay ng mga ordinaryong Pilipino, ang mga tradisyon, at ang iba’t ibang wika at kultura na bumubuo sa ating bansa.

𝙎𝙖 𝙥𝙖𝙜-𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙜-𝙖𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙠𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣, 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙖𝙠𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙮𝙤 𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙜𝙖 𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙣𝙤 𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙞. Mahalaga rin ito upang mailapat ang kanilang aral sa mga hamon na kinahaharap ng ating lipunan ngayon. Mula sa pagkakaisa ng bansa, pakikibaka para sa katarungan, at pagtataguyod ng sariling identidad bilang mga Pilipino.

Higit pa sa mga aktibidad at programa ang tunay na diwa ng Buwan ng Kasaysayan. Sa ating simpleng paraan, sa pagbabasa ng mga akdang pampanitikan, pagbisita sa mga museo, paggunita sa mga bayani, at sa pagmamana ng mga tradisyon; ating ipinapakita na buhay ang kasaysayan at bahagi ito ng ating pagkatao.

Kaya’t sa bawat paggunita tuwing Agosto, ito’y hindi lamang isang sulyap sa nakaraan kundi isang paalala ng ating pinanggalingan, isang gabay sa kasalukuyan, at isang tanglaw tungo sa mas matatag na kinabukasan.

Despite post-production issues, student filmmakers from MMSU emerged triumphant at the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Central and Regional Film Festival. Their films Higante and Damo clinched top honors during the PelikulAgraryo Gala on August 15 at the Vigan Convention Center.

“We encountered many problems while editing in post-production. My laptop was damaged, so we had to transfer our files to multiple laptops. It was quite difficult because we had to recopy so many files, and that took a lot of time,” said Benedict Jay R. Collado, the director of Higante.

Out of the 10 short films screened across the Ilocos region, Higante captured the Best Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARB) Category Film Award. The film also swept awards for Best Director (Benedict Jay R. Collado), Best Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Actor (Miko Jose), taking home a total of 70,000 pesos worth of prizes and earning the right to represent Region 1 in the nationals.

According to Collado, the short film draws inspiration from agrarian reform beneficiary Imelda Camahig from Banna, Ilocos Norte. Higante symbolizes the giant problems that she and many farmers faced in their lives.

The film entry was a collaborative effort of MMSU student artists, with Benedict Jay R. Collado as director, assisted by Jethro Nicolas. The cast featured Miko Jose, Allyza Mae Agustin, and Lhourd Steve Catiwa, while production members included Andrei Zai Albano, Jordan Lance Lazaga, Rochelle Ramos, Kenneth Michael Garduque, Clarie Jaen Agustin, and Jeremy Pascual. Cherizze Joy Carreon also contributed as illustrator and animator, completing the creative team behind Higante.

“Having our short film recognized feels overwhelming, but I want to redirect this victory to the farmers because this is dedicated to them. This is their story and the victory is theirs,” shared Collado, the Associate Editor for Print of SIRMATA and a fourth-year Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English student.

Meanwhile, another MMSU entry, Damo by Rimat Production, also shone at the festival. The short film, which follows the resilience and dreams of farmer Henry Damo and his family, bagged 2nd Best Film under the ARB Category and a cash prize of 15,000 pesos.

Damo was brought to life by the Rimat Production team led by Joseph “Dodong” Ansino, who served as director, team-leader, and co-writer, together with writers Jacob Christian Luis and Krizzia Mae Bola. Jewel Ray Marcos took on the role of assistant director and main actor, supported by producers Jezryl Dianne Domingo, Athena Sagsagat, and Angela Agtang.

Cinematography was handled by Alexander Jabriel Acoba, who also served as drone pilot, alongside Jasmine Gambalan, while Axl Rose Pablo contributed animation, Adrian Camado composed the film score, and Ralph Tabuno managed subtitling. The cast featured Marianne Barba, Janssen Vonn Gomez, KC Esmaya, Amethyst Gold Navarro, Adam Tabios, Kenneth Acab, and Nica Cabresos, completing the ensemble behind the film.

With the theme “Pag-ani sa mga Pangarap: Mga Kwento ng Pag-asa at Tagumpay sa Agraryo” (Harvest of Dreams: Agrarian Stories of Hope and Success), the PelikulAgraryo Film Festival spotlighted 10 true-to-life stories of Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries and Organizations through the lens of young filmmakers from all over the region.

The winners will now represent Region 1 at the national level, where they will compete with other regional champions from across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The PelikulAgraryo Festival, marking the first time DAR Ilocos Region has opened its doors to student filmmakers, aligns cinema with the advocacy of agrarian reform and aims to become an annual showcase of cinematic brilliance, inclusivity, passion, and inspiration to be hosted by each Regional Office.

Fifty-six (56) students from the pioneering batch of the Bachelor of Science in Psychology program proudly received their pins during the first-ever Clinical Pinning Ceremony, making history as the first psychology interns of Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) on Monday, August 18, at the Student Center.

With the theme “Cultivating Knowledge and Transforming Learning in Action,” the ceremony marked a historic milestone for the fourth-year students as they transitioned from classroom learning to clinical immersion.

In her message as the guest of honor and speaker, Ms. Marcia Abadilla-Fellizar, Psychologist II at Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center (MMMH-MC) inspired the interns by quoting the renowned psychologist Carl Jung: “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes,” giving the interns a moment of closed-eyed reflection and emphasizing self-discovery and self-awareness among the future mental health practitioners.

“It’s okay not to have everything figured out yet at the moment. So, use your degree for personal growth and adaptation,” she assured the newly pinned interns.

The BS Psychology Program Coordinator, Dr. Elizabeth Marfel F. Gagni, also explained that the pinning ceremony highlights the program’s mission “to nurture critical minds and compassionate hearts who are equipped not only with theoretical understanding but with skills and values needed to apply their knowledge meaningfully in the service of others.”

The symbolic pinning was then followed by the Interns’ Pledge, led by Mary Ellaysza B. Marcelino, who described the ceremony as both meaningful and fulfilling.

Her fellow intern, Gabriel Antonio R. Saragosa, declared the Words of Commitment and accepted the responsibility that accompanies the pin on behalf of the interns. “We are now becoming servants of humanity, most devoted to the understanding of the human mind,” he stated.

In the afternoon session, the interns attended the in-house Internship Orientation, wherein they were briefed on the site selection, placement processes, and their legal and ethical responsibilities as interns.

Three of the students are set for deployment on August 20 at Baguio City General Hospital and Medical Center (BGHMC). Meanwhile, the National Center for Mental Health in Mandaluyong City will conduct an orientation for the first batch of interns on August 27.
