Every August, we celebrate ASEAN Month in commemoration of the founding of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on August 8, 1967, through the signing of the Bangkok Declaration. As one of ASEAN's five founding members, the Philippines stands alongside ten other Southeast Asian nations in advancing regional cooperation, mutual respect, and sustainable development.
More than an economic and political alliance, ASEAN is a community built on collaboration, resilience, and shared progress. Through initiatives in culture, education, trade, environmental sustainability, and regional security, it continues to strengthen ties among its member states.
In support of this vision, Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU), through its Office of Internationalization and Linkages, continues to expand academic partnerships and cross-cultural engagements that prepare students to become globally competent citizens of the ASEAN community.
As we observe ASEAN Month 2026, let us celebrate not only the milestones of the region but also the values that continue to unite its peopleโunity in diversity, dialogue over division, and cooperation over conflict. ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐
