Central Mindanao University (CMU) strengthened its commitment to leadership, inclusivity, and cultural pride as three of its students participated in the Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP)—Rainbow Youth Academy (RYA) bootcamp and graduation held in Manila from April 26 to 30, 2026.

Gil James Amante, Shawn Lawrence Laguerta, and Glorie Mae Oyangoren, all fourth-year AB Political Science students from the College of Arts and Sciences, were selected as official student participants representing CMU in the national program.

The three students earned recognition as part of the Top 30 finalists nationwide and Top 10 in Mindanao for the PFIP—RYA Cycle 4, proudly representing Region X (Northern Mindanao) and the university on a broader platform of youth leadership and inclusivity.

The Rainbow Youth Academy is a four-month leadership and mentorship program designed to prepare students for future professional work through a series of virtual skills development sessions, mentoring engagements, and program-related activities conducted from December 10, 2025, to April 30, 2026.

One of the highlights of the graduation ceremony was the Commencement Address delivered by Gil James “GJ” Amante, who currently serves as Vice President of the University Senior Students’ Council (USSCO). Representing both Mindanao and CMU, Amante delivered a message centered on leadership, diversity, and youth empowerment.

Beyond academic and leadership excellence, the students also carried the cultural pride of Bukidnon to the nation’s capital. Wearing Talaandig and Bukidnon-inspired attire provided by the Valencia City Tourism Office, they showcased the rich heritage and vibrant spirit of the Kaamulan Festival during the graduation activities.

Their participation reflects CMU’s continuing dedication to Gender and Development (GAD) initiatives and inclusive student leadership.

On this World Press Freedom Day, we recognize the sacrifices of journalists in protecting truth, holding power accountable, and amplifying the voices of the unheard.

Today also reminds us of the cost carried by many journalists and media workers who have risked, and in some cases lost, their lives in the pursuit of truth and in service to the public.

We are called to uphold an independent press and defend transparency, as safeguarding press freedom remains essential to protecting democracy from silence, manipulation, and fear.

‎“The progress of our country depends on the progress of our workers. Their welfare is not just a matter of justice—it is a matter of national survival." — Corazon C. Aquino, 11th President of the Philippines
‎
‎In every corner of our daily lives—on the roads we travel, in the spaces we learn, and in the systems that keep us moving forward—there is the quiet, steady presence of the Filipino worker.
‎
‎They are not defined by a single role, but united by purpose. Their work reflects resilience, skill, and an enduring commitment to building something greater than themselves.
‎
‎Labor Day is not only a moment of recognition, but a reminder of the shared responsibility to value the people behind every progress we celebrate.
‎
‎This May 1, a day that reveals what often goes unseen, may appreciation turn into action, and respect into lasting support.

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | Fire Hits Purok 1 Dologon, Affecting Several CMUans and Residences

A fire broke out in Purok 1, Barangay Dologon, Maramag, Bukidnon, at around 11:00 p.m. on April 25, 2026, destroying several structures and displacing residents, including students from Central Mindanao University (CMU).

The fire reportedly started in an establishment along the Sayre Highway, rapidly engulfing nearby houses due to closely spaced residences. As of this time, the cause remains under investigation by local authorities. No casualties have yet been confirmed.

Moreover, the barangay and the municipality of Maramag provided vehicles to transport the affected students to the university.

A barangay councilor also offered temporary shelter to the victims, while four affected students—as of this writing—have been brought to the University Homestay.

Furthermore, the university has already confirmed that the homestay is available to accommodate displaced students, as confirmed by both the Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) and the University Homestay.

Students who were affected may reach out to the OSAS for assistance and temporary shelter. They may contact 0917 710 4871 or get in touch via the office’s page.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | 𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗯𝘀?

𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗨𝗔𝗡, 𝗕𝗨𝗞𝗜𝗗𝗡𝗢𝗡—In the high-stakes world of academia, we are told that our future is determined by our brains, our brawn, and our boards. But for one specific generation of Central Mindanao University (CMU) students, their future was determined by something far fickler: a server’s capacity to handle a "Refresh" button.

As we witness the relatively smooth, staggered, and "civilized" admission process of 2026, a haunting question echoes through the halls of the colleges: 𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗯? Did thousands of dreams have to be slaughtered on the altar of "Digital Progress?”

The “𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽” 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 was supposed to be CMU’s grand leap into the future. It was marketed as the end of the "pila" (line)—a way to bring the Academic Paradise to the student’s fingertips.

But in 2025, it didn't feel like a doorstep; it felt like a trap.

The system buckled instantly. While thousands of qualifiers—each one a passer of the grueling CMUCAT—hit their keyboards in unison, the "𝟱𝟬𝟮 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗘𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿" became the judge, jury, and executioner of their ambitions. It wasn't a test of intelligence; it was a "𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀." If you lived in a municipality with a weak signal, you weren't just "offline"—you were disqualified.

Of course, there were the "Winners." A handful of Batch 2025 students were lucky enough to secure the slots they wanted, their pages loading at the exact millisecond required to beat the crash. They walked through the Doorstep into their dream careers in Nursing, Civil Engineering, or Veterinary Medicine.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁? What about the students who held the same high scores but were met with a spinning icon until the "Closed" sign turned red? For them, the "Sacrifice" wasn't just a glitch; it was a forced compromise. Qualified students who spent years aiming for a specific seat were suddenly staring at a dwindling list of "leftover" programs.

"𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮; 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦," 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘦𝘯𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦. 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭.

Fast forward to the current 2026 admission cycle. The contrast is staggering. The university has implemented staggered registration dates based on last names and colleges. They’ve upgraded server bandwidth. They’ve added a real-time "Slot Counter" that allows students to breathe before they click.

The 2025 admission crisis was a "necessary mess" in the eyes of administration—a learning curve. But for the students who "settled," it wasn't a curve; it was a cliff. As the "Academic Paradise" continues to modernize, we must ensure that no future batch is treated as a "Beta Test" ever again. Education is not a software update that can be "patched" later. You can reboot a server, but you cannot reboot a year of a student's life.

The 2025 Sacrificial Lambs are still here. They are in our classrooms, our laboratories, and our libraries—the "𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀" studying theories they don't love. They are the living reminder that progress always has a price—and in 2025, that price was far too high.

Central Mindanao University (CMU) researchers, students, and stakeholders united in showcasing local innovations, products, services, and technologies at the University Convention Center (UCC), as they gathered to celebrate the 11th Research Development and Extension (RDE) Week, themed, "Shaping Global Leaders through Excellence, Integrity, and Service,” on April 20-23, 2026.

“Over the next three dynamic days, we recognize our partners and outstanding extensionists in the university, celebrate culture and intellect, promote innovations, share practical wisdom in farming, enjoy the pet show and exotic animal display, and cheer for our students in creative contests," Vice President for Research, Development and Extension, Dr. Allan Dargantes, said in his welcoming address.

He also noted that advancing research is "bringing hope, empowerment and progress where it is most needed,” particularly the Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA) and Indigenous People (IP) communities.

Moreover, keynote speaker, Hon. Leo Tereso Magno, secretary of Mindanao Development Authority (MINDA), emphasized the role of research in driving productivity and resilience, while extension ensures that these breakthroughs benefit communities especially those faced by inequality and vulnerability.

"RDE week has grown into a platform that links research with the communities, proving that innovation creates the highest value when it serves the people," he said.

On the second day of the event, students and participants engaged in Laro ng Lahi, Quiz Bowl, Inambitay sa Kinaadman, Pag-ila, and the stakeholders forum—a series of talks providing diverse insights on livestock and poultry followed in the afternoon.

The final day of the RDE week celebration further highlighted student creativity and CMU community engagement through various presentations such as an all-breed dog show, hosted by the College of Veterinary Medicine; a techno demo (video presentation); vlogging contest; and the Pabonggahan Trashion Show.

The event then ended with the Office of Research Director, Dr. Jupiter Casas, underscoring the need to mainstream both social and natural science research outputs in the RDE week celebration. It is expected that the RDE week expands its focus beyond agriculture, biological sciences, and commodity-based products.
