In an inspiring message to the graduating class of Ocampo National High School, Venus Balmedina, Assistant Schools Division Superintendent, emphasized that the students are more than just completers of academic requirementsโ€”they are โ€œFilipino graduates ready to lead with courage.โ€

According to her, graduates must embody three essential qualities: competence, character, and consistencyโ€”values she described as the true formula for success.

โ€œCompetence is what you are capable of doing,โ€ she explained, underscoring the importance of skills, knowledge, and the ability to apply learning in real-world situations.

She encouraged graduates to continuously improve themselves and strive for excellence in their chosen paths.

Equally important, she noted, is character. โ€œCharacter is who you are, especially when no one is watching,โ€ Balmedina said.

She stressed that integrity, honesty, and moral responsibility define a person far more than achievements alone. For her, strong character ensures that success is built on a foundation of trust and respect.

The third pillar she emphasized was consistency, which she described as the discipline to keep going despite challenges. โ€œConsistency is the ability to do what needs to be done, even when it is difficult,โ€ she added, reminding graduates that success is not achieved overnight but through sustained effort and perseverance.

Balmedina concluded that these three traitsโ€”competence, character, and consistencyโ€”form a powerful combination that can guide graduates toward meaningful success.

She urged the students to carry these values as they step into the next chapter of their lives, ready to contribute positively to society.

In an effort to reward the participation of ONHS students in Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program, the English Department distributed pairs of Makati shoes to selected ARAL learners during the culminating activity on March 13, 2026 at ONHS Media Center Pavilion.

More than 20 pairs of shoes were given to ARAL learners, one pair each.

Julie May K. Umali, English teacher, said that the initiative aimed to provide students with essential resources for daily school needs while also boosting confidence and motivation to pursue studies.

The activity was also made possible through the support of Claire M. Miรฑao, Municipal Mayor Ronald Allan J. Go, and the teachers from Hanawan National High School, Mr. and Mrs. Jury and Cristy Bosque.

โ€ŽThree Girl Scouts from Ocampo National High School in Camarines Sur have been selected to join the 44th National Camp of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, held at Camp Alano, Davao City from February 13 to 18, 2026.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThe delegatesโ€”Nicole Allen B. Colocar, Pia Clara M. Comprado, and Aira Nadine D. Alcantaraโ€”were chosen based on their active participation, leadership potential, strong moral character, and commitment to scouting values.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽTheir selection followed a careful evaluation by troop leaders and council officers across the Camarines Sur Council.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽWith the theme โ€œPadayon: Girls Leading the Way to Peace and Solidarity,โ€ the camp aimed to develop leadership, build friendships, and strengthen unity among scouts nationwide.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThe participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity. โ€œThrough the camp, we gained valuable skills, built lasting friendships, and learned leadership, patience, and teamwork,โ€ shared Comprado.
โ€Ž
โ€Ž"My message to students who want to join the Girl Scouts is to be brave and take the opportunity to become part of the scouting community. Being a member of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines is not only about wearing the uniformโ€”it is about learning important life skills, building confidence, and serving others," said Mrs. Alyn B. Colocar, a troop leader and club adviser of GSP-ONHS.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽTheir participation marks a significant milestone for both the scouts and Ocampo National High School as they proudly represented their community on a national stage.
