The CPR Caravan with the theme “Shaping Culture Towards a CPR-Ready” was successfully conducted on campus, highlighting the importance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as a life-saving skill that everyone should learn.

The program began with registration, an opening prayer, and the singing of the national anthem, with Sir Brix Mirote serving as the master of ceremonies.

Dr. Nida Pauline R. Sy-Santos, MD, MPH, formally welcomed participants through her opening remarks, emphasizing the role of preparedness in saving lives. This was followed by a message from Campus Director Dr. Ivy H. Casupanan, who expressed full support for the initiative and encouraged students to take the training seriously.

The highlight of the event was the lecture delivered by Glenn F. Ramos, Chapter Service Representative of the Philippine Red Cross–Zambales Chapter. Ramos discussed the proper steps in performing CPR, including checking responsiveness, calling for help, and giving chest compressions.

Students from different colleges later participated in the hands-on session, practicing CPR procedures under the guidance of facilitators. This interactive activity allowed them to apply the techniques and gain confidence in responding to real-life emergencies.

To conclude the program, Campus Nurse Catherine E. Lara delivered the closing remarks, commending the students for their active participation and encouraging them to share their learning with others.

The CPR Caravan is part of the Philippine Red Cross’s nationwide campaign to train one million Filipinos in CPR by October 2025, coinciding with World Restart a Heart Day.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | 𝗠𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲: 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲

On this day, August 31, we remember the birth of a man who redefined what it meant to lead a nation. Ramon Del Fierro Magsaysay—mechanic, transportation manager, soldier, and eventually the seventh President of the Philippines—rose from humble beginnings to become the leader who won the hearts of the masses.

In a political landscape often dominated by powerful families, Magsaysay stood out as a leader molded by the struggles of ordinary citizens. He never distanced himself from the people he served; instead, he regarded them as his “bosses.” It was this humility and sincerity that earned him the enduring title, “Champion of the Masses.”

Magsaysay’s presidency, though tragically cut short in 1957, left behind an extraordinary legacy. He opened the doors of Malacañang Palace to the common folk, proving that the nation’s highest seat of power belonged to the people. He fought corruption with vigor, championed social justice, and implemented land reforms that gave farmers a chance at a better life. For Magsaysay, leadership was not about privilege but about responsibility—and service rooted in trust.

This spirit of genuine leadership lives on in President Ramon Magsaysay State University (PRMSU), which bears his name with pride and purpose. More than a namesake, the university carries his vision as a call to action. It urges every student, faculty member, and staff to embody his ideals—integrity, humility, and service to others.

Magsaysay’s words remain as relevant today as they were decades ago: “I believe that government starts at the bottom, and moves upward, for government exists for the welfare of the masses of the nation.”

His life was brief, but his legacy is timeless. As we celebrate his birthday, we are reminded that true leadership is not measured by power, but by the depth of one’s service to the people.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝘀, 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝘀

Every unheard voice needs a listener, every unwritten word needs a hand to give it a life. Every unspoken dream needs a chance, and every small step seeks a path.

In our campus, we are not just students bound by classrooms and lessons. We are a community, alive with voices that deserve to be heard, and stories that deserve to be written.

Leadership, then, is not about standing above—but about bending down to listen, to lift, and to write with us the story of our future.

In every classroom, in every corner of our campus, walk the same students who laugh with us, learn with us, and share the same challenges we face each day.

Among these familiar faces rise those we now call leaders—not because they are above us, but because they are chosen from among us.

They carry the same notebooks, sit in the same desks, and take the same exams, yet they now hold a greater responsibility: to serve, to listen, and to represent the voice of the entire student body. Their victory is not theirs alone—it is a shared triumph, a reflection of the trust and hope we have given them.

Today, we do not just witness the new leaders. We celebrate a truth—that leadership is not distant nor unreachable. It lives within the heart of every student who chooses to serve.

They are one of us—and now, they rise for all of us.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀

In the midst of chaos, they stand—
unseen by the spotlight, yet brighter than any star.
Not robed in royalty nor crowned in gold,
but clothed in scrubs, uniforms, and the armor of resolve.

They are the nurses who guard life’s fragile flame,
the doctors who stand between despair and hope.
They are the teachers who kindle minds in the dark,
and the farmers whose hands sow the promise of tomorrow.

They are the soldiers and rescuers who run toward danger
when the world’s instinct is to flee.
They are the riders who carry sustenance,
and the cleaners who clear paths for healing.

They are the enforcers who tame the rush of the streets,
the police who keep watch as the city sleeps,
the journalists who seek truth amid the noise,
and the workers abroad who trade distance for love.

These are the faces of courage in our time—
ordinary, yet extraordinary;
mortal, yet unyielding.

And as we honor them, we remember those before:
the ones who chose wisdom over silence,
who raised blades and banners for freedom,
who dreamed of a nation unbound and whole,
and who gave their strength so we might stand today.

Then and now, the essence of heroism remains—
to rise above self, to fight for others,
to keep faith in tomorrow even through the darkest night.

True heroes do not wear capes.
They wear compassion, dedication,
and the weight of our tomorrows.
And in their courage, we glimpse the same spirit
that built our nation—
and continues to keep it alive.
