The Office of Research and Extension Services (ORES) opened this year's observance of Maritime Archipelagic Nation Awareness Month (ManaMo) on September 4, 2026 with an assembly centered on the theme "Karapatan sa Karagatan" at the ALVRH main campus.

The event featured expert speakers from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) who tackled pressing local issues, including mangrove conservation, municipal water protections, and the challenges of illegal commercial fishing affecting Albay's coastal communities.

An interactive open forum between maritime students and agency officials concluded the day's program, alongside a 40th birthday celebration for the Institutions’ President, Madam Merely Jimenez-San Pedro and the announcement of month-long activities this September in line with the MANAMO campaign.

Today, we remember Simeon Ola—a name etched into the history of Albay and a figure whose courage helped shape the story of a nation.

More than a name in history books, Ola represents the spirit of resilience, bravery, and love for one’s homeland.

And just like that, August comes to an end making way for the much-awaited “Ber Months.” As September arrives, the countdown to Christmas officially begins bringing with it the familiar songs, and excitement that make this season feel a bit more special.

From hearing Christmas songs everywhere to seeing decorations slowly make their way around, there’s something about these months that always brings a different kind of joy and excitement.

May the last four months of 2026 be filled with good memories, meaningful moments, and a little extra warmth for everyone.

Today, we commemorate the bravery and undying love of our heroes who not only risked their lives but also raised their voices for the rights and liberation of our country.

Their courage and sacrifices paved the way for the freedom we experience today, reminding us that the nation we have was built through the strength, courage, and love of those who chose to stand for what was right.

This National Heroes Day, may we remember that heroism does not only live in the pages of history, but also in the people who continue to make a difference for others and for the country.

Coffee in one hand, brownies on the other, and stories are shared as the Mariners’ Polytechnic Colleges Foundation-Legazpi City (MPCF-LC) celebrated their 41st Anniversary where the alumni, staff and school officials gathered at Audio-Visual Learning Resource Hall (AVLRH) on August 22, 2026 for the Mariners’ Kapihan where they looked back on their journey and the dreams that once challenged them to achieve where they are today.

The gathering became more than just a conversation, it was also a moment of reflection, connection and inspiration, where their stories shaped their lives beyond the halls of the school, through their experiences and they reflected that MPCF-LC became part of their journey, reminding the Mariners’ community that every dream begins in the mind and heart of a true Marinerian with a determination and perseverance.
