On behalf of the Ignacian Marians, we extend our sincere gratitude to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) for hosting the impactful Health Education on Substance Abuse and Orientation on R.A. 9165 symposium on Thursday, February 6, 2025. The theme, "BUHAY INGATAN, DROGA'Y AYAWAN," resonated deeply with us.

The information presented was highly informative and provided valuable insights into the risks associated with substance abuse and the importance of adhering to R.A. 9165. As Ignacian Marians, we pledge to apply the knowledge and understanding gained from this symposium to promote responsible decision-making and a healthy lifestyle within our school and community. Indeed, as leaders of our school community, we are continually reminded of our mission as ‘pag-asa ng bayan.’

Thank you, BJMP, for your commitment to educating us on these issues. We truly appreciate your efforts in empowering us to make positive choices.

The recent typhoons Pepito, Ofel and Nika have left countless families in the Philippines devastated and broken. Our fellow Filipinos in Luzon are now in need of help as they rise from the ashes that the pains of these typhoons have inflicted on them. As they face the darkest days of their lives, they continue to look for light and hope.

In line with this, we as Ignacian Marians are called to answer the call. The call to help our brothers and sisters. Through the initiative of the Ignacian Marian Council, we are humbly knocking your hearts as we conduct this donation drive. In monetary form of donation, our kapwa Filipinos are in need of this as they rebuild their homes and provide their families basic needs. The call to help and serve them is ringing at your front doors.

To those who are willing to answer the call of hope, advisers shall collect the donation of their students on NOVEMBER 28 and 29, 2024. For those who are also willing to give their donations, you may message the IMC page for more details.

“Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much.” Thank you in advance, dear IgMas for answering this to hope!
