MUSUAN, BUKIDNON — Carrying on with its series of seminars, GeoMin Center held another round of Geographic Information Training at the College of Forestry and Environmental Science on September 1–2, 2025.

Environmental Science and Biology students enhanced their knowledge and skills in map generation using GIS technology.

The seminar workshop was spearheaded by Mr. Eric N. Bruno, EnP. the head of the GeoMin Center. In an interview with Engr. Rexell Daguman, one of the resource speakers for the event, she said that the training was one of the many mandates of the GeoMin Center to support students in spreading technical knowledge of the many uses of GIS in our world today.

As one of the only universities in Mindanao that utilize GIS in the field of Environmental Science, the seminar serves as a way for the center to fulfill their goal of sharing the technologies in the field and realizing the potential of becoming the geomatic hub of Mindanao in the near future.

The College of Forestry and Environmental Science opens its doors to a brand-new year, and it starts with a bang. The COFESSCO organization welcomed CFES students with open arms as it greeted both new and returning students for the 1st Semester of Academic Year 2025–2026.

Both freshmen and senior students expressed their delight at the wide assortment of school supplies provided by the organization, from pens and highlighters to even notebooks for freshmen students. A special ice cream treat from COFESSCO was also served at the front entrance of CFES.

The Day of Welcome Ceremony, hosted by COFESSCO and its many college organizations, was not only a rousing success but also marked the beginning of something new for some, and the light at the end of the tunnel for many senior students of CFES.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗵𝘀: 𝗔𝗿𝗹𝘆𝗻’𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀

Arlyn Gaea Pearl Boquila’s journey to becoming the College of Forestry and Environmental Science’s college valedictorian was forged not in grand milestones but in countless small victories. She recalls the nights spent wrestling with lab reports until her eyes stung, the trembling hand that drafted thesis chapters one painstaking sentence at a time. “It wasn’t the big achievements that kept me going,” she says, “it was the small acts of kindness, the quiet support, and the reminders that growth isn’t always about standing out. It’s about staying kind and finding purpose, even when life doesn’t go as planned.”

Those words capture the spirit of every shared triumph, whether it was completing a fieldwork survey under a midday sun or celebrating the approval of a thesis chapter long before the final submission. In the tight‑knit community of CFES, a simple smile in the hallway could become the spark that carried her through another demanding day. She remembers how peers who lived miles from Bukidnon sometimes went without meals or battled illness alone. Their determination humbled her, and she began to see her own struggles: academic and personal, as part of a greater tapestry of shared perseverance.

Her adviser Ma’am Jing embodied that same ethos of steady encouragement. Whenever self‑doubt threatened to overwhelm her, Ma’am Jing’s gentle reminders that “average is only where you begin” became a lifeline. Those small affirmations added up, transforming sleepless nights into confidence and incremental progress into genuine accomplishment. Behind the scenes, Arlyn’s parents laboured tirelessly, rising before dawn to clean, cook and earn so that their daughter could focus on her studies. Their silent sacrifices were woven into every small victory she celebrated.

Standing at convocation, Arlyn paid tribute not to a single moment of glory, but to the collective kindness that shaped her path. She thanked friends who endured thesis rewrites with her, faculty who shared wisdom beyond the textbooks, and the community whose daily gestures of support made even the toughest challenges feel surmountable. “We may ask, ‘What if we fail?’” she told her peers. “But maybe we should ask, ‘What if we don’t?’” It was a reminder that trying, rising, and moving forward even when afraid is how growth truly happens.

Arlyn’s story reminds us that greatness often grows from the smallest seeds of kindness. It is in the steady accumulation of everyday support that lives are transformed. Her legacy will not be measured solely by honours and accolades, but by the simple acts of goodwill that lifted her up, one small victory at a time.

On April 28, 2025, Dennis Phillip Jay “Dos” F. Coronel, a graduating Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science student from Central Mindanao University (CMU), presented his research at a major scientific gathering: the 3rd International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Innovation (ICETI-3) and the 1st International Conference for Interdisciplinary Science and Environmental Solutions (Ecotone-1), held at the University of Mindanao – Matina Campus, Davao City, Philippines.

Coronel presented a portion of his undergraduate thesis titled “Investigating a Possible Case of Saltwater Intrusion in Groundwater Sources in Samal Island.” His research assessed groundwater salinity levels, mapped the distribution of saltwater intrusion (SWI), and examined its correlation with groundwater extraction—addressing critical concerns in water resource management, particularly for vulnerable island communities.

He was accompanied by his research adviser, Nadezda T. Pascual. The panelists for his thesis from the College of Forestry and Environmental Science—Angela Grace Toledo-Bruno and Bryan Allan M. Talisay—also played key roles in the study’s development and review.

The twin conferences, hosted jointly by ICETI and Ecotone, aimed to address some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges through the convergence of emerging technologies and interdisciplinary approaches. The event provided a platform for collaboration among scientists, researchers, and professionals exploring innovations in environmental sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience.

Coronel’s participation in this international platform underscored the academic rigor of Central Mindanao University’s Environmental Science program and provided meaningful contributions to the ongoing discourse on water sustainability challenges faced by island communities.

Sapat na ang delubyong hatid ng pagkasira ng kalikasan, korapsyon, at bulok na pamumuno. Hindi na dapat ibinoboto ang mga kandidatong itinuturing ang likas-yaman bilang puhunan, at ang masa bilang hagdan tungo sa kapangyarihan.

𝗛𝗨𝗪𝗔𝗚 nating hayaang maging normal ang pandaraya, ang pamamayagpag ng dinastiya, at ang pagsasantabi sa interes ng bayan.
𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗨𝗕𝗬𝗢 ang mga kandidatong inuuna ang negosyo kaysa kapaligiran, ang sarili kaysa serbisyo, at ang pangalan kaysa prinsipyo.

Ngayon ang panahon para putulin ang tanikala ng panlilinlang.
Ngayon ang panahon para ipanalo ang pamumunong mula sa masa, para sa masa!
