To Serve, To Inspire, To Lead: GMVCC Student Leaders Trained with Purpose and Vision
To strengthen leadership skills and inspire purposeful action, the Supreme Student Council organized a Leadership Training with the theme “Lead with Purpose: Inspiring Vision and Driving Impact” on October 10, 2025, at the Function Hall of Governor Mariano E. Villafuerte Community College (GMVCC)-Libmanan. The activity gathered Class, Department, and Organizational officers—from presidents to treasurers—who participated in a full-day session aimed at learning the true meaning of leadership and service.
The morning session featured Mr. Alvin B. Ceriola, former SSC Vice President, who delivered a talk on “Modern Student Leaders: Leading with Purpose in the Digital Age.” He shared a quote by Robin S. Sharma: “Leadership is not about a title or position. It’s about impact, influence, and inspiration.” Mr. Ceriola also discussed the leadership roles of the president and vice president, emphasizing how effective leaders inspire others to act.
In the afternoon, Mr. John John Belaro, former SSC Secretary, led the second session titled “Competent Student Leaders: Functions and Responsibilities of a Secretary.” This was followed by an icebreaker activity and the final session with Mr. Mark Anthony Guevarra, former SSC officer, who tackled “Transparency in Leadership: Functions and Responsibilities of a Treasurer.”
Throughout the training, students actively engaged in interactive discussions and activities that deepened their understanding of teamwork, accountability, and servant leadership. The program concluded with a reflection reminding everyone that: “Leadership is not about being the best, but about making others better because of your presence—and ensuring that impact lasts even in your absence.”
The Leadership Training left students inspired to serve with purpose, to listen with empathy, and to lead with integrity—values that embody the true essence of being a true leader.
