𝗣𝗔𝗚𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗜 '𝟮𝟲 | SCSC Students Take Part in Holistic Wellness Campaign 2026

Students of South Cotabato State College (SCSC) actively participated in the Holistic Wellness Campaign 2026 held on August 5 at the SCSC Gymnasium, embracing the theme “Health is Whole: Protecting Mental, Physical, and Emotional Well-Being through Awareness and Action.”

The campaign brought together students from different year levels, encouraging them to become more aware of their overall well-being and to take part in activities that promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

The opening program featured remarks from Dr. Joebert C. Legreso, PhD, Vice President for Academic Affairs, followed by a message of support from Dr. Edward Lovell B. Brillantes, PhD, SUC President I, both emphasizing the importance of prioritizing student wellness within the academic community.

Students engaged in a series of discussions that tackled relevant and timely health issues. Mark Jason D. Divinagracia, RN, LPT, led a talk on Mental Health, Su***de Prevention, and Reproductive Health, highlighting the importance of self-awareness, seeking help, and making informed choices.

Meanwhile, Jesryl Felecia, LPT, conducted an HIV Awareness Talk, encouraging students to stay informed, practice prevention, and help eliminate stigma. In addition, Gio Kristoffer N. Taongan, RND, MD, discussed Drug Abuse Prevention and Control, reminding students of the importance of making responsible decisions for their health and future.

Alongside the discussions, students also participated in various wellness activities. A Cathartic Booth, facilitated by Sofia Patricia E. Bastan, RPM, provided a space for students to express their thoughts and emotions. Free HIV testing, conducted by the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) Koronadal, encouraged students to take proactive steps toward their health. A photo booth by the Happy Gino Photobooth also allowed students to capture moments with their peers during the event.

The program concluded with closing remarks from Dr. Gerry J. Madriaga, PhD, Office Director, leaving students with a reminder that maintaining holistic wellness is a shared responsibility.

Through the Holistic Wellness Campaign 2026, SCSC students were not only informed but also empowered to take action—proving that true health is achieved when the mind, body, and emotions are cared for together.

𝗣𝗔𝗚𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗜 '𝟮𝟲 | Freshmen and transferees were to the offices, policies, and organizations that shape student life during the second day of South Cotabato State College's (SCSC) PAGBATI 2026 on Tuesday, August 4.

Unlike the program's opening day, which centered on welcoming new students, the second day shifted to discussions on campus services and student welfare.

The Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) led presentations on guidance and counseling, health services, library and laboratory resources, campus safety, scholarships, sports, socio-cultural programs, student publication, environmental initiatives, and programs for Indigenous Peoples.

Campus organizations were also introduced, with student leaders encouraging freshmen to participate in co-curricular and leadership activities throughout the academic year through the making of organization booths.

The afternoon sessions focused on student discipline policies, the National Service Training Program (NSTP), and other institutional guidelines. Students were later given the opportunity to raise concerns and seek clarification during an open forum with college officials.

The orientation concluded with closing remarks, now ending Day 2 of the on-boarding process for next week's official start of classes.

𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗛𝗔𝗬𝗔 | What began as a simple encouragement to "just try" eventually became a life-changing opportunity, Batch Sidhaya's valedictorian Jianne Pearl S. Abarro shared as she delivered her valedictory address during the college's 2nd Commencement Exercises on July 29, 2026.

Recalling her story, Abarro admitted that pursuing college was never part of her original plan, as she intended to continue working in their family business. However, the transition of SUNAS into South Cotabato State College and the opening of the Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship program prompted her to take the admission test despite doubting she would pass—an opportunity she said ultimately changed the course of her life. As a working student, she also reflected on balancing academic responsibilities with work throughout her college years.

She also recognized the sacrifices of working students, parents, and other learners who pursued their education while carrying responsibilities beyond the classroom. Drawing from the lessons of entrepreneurship, Abarro likened ambitions to investments, failures to capital for growth, resilience to an asset, and character to the greatest return on investment. She concluded by urging Batch Sidhaya to lead with integrity, remain steadfast amid uncertainty, and create meaningful impact in their respective fields and communities.
