May every step of this journey be safe, every discovery be inspiring, and every friendship be long lasting.

The pioneering AgriQuest delegates and officers of The Voyagers, together with the second batch of AgriQuest student and faculty delegates, held a peer mentoring session on October 22, 2026, at the Computer Room of the Academic Building of Sorsogon State University – Castilla Campus. The second batch is set to depart for South Korea in November for a 30-day agricultural learning experience at Dagam Farm in Changwon City.

The second batch includes Sandra Mae L. Coronado, a BS Agriculture major in Agricultural Education student; Domenic M. Llacer, a BS Agribusiness student; and Claire L. Duploso and Symon E. Rey, both BS Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering students. They will be accompanied by Mr. Al M. Alcantara, Director of the National Service Training Program (NSTP).

Led by Ms. Mari Anne B. Gojar, International Relations Office Coordinator and adviser of The Voyagers, the session focused on travel preparations, required documents, and what to expect during their stay in South Korea. The pioneering delegates, represented by Roma J. Ervas, Roy G. Tañedo, Milaena Khristen Sabado, and Jesus Angelou M. Salamatin, shared their experiences in Korea, including the culture, places they visited, and activities at Dagam Farm. They also demonstrated the proper use of harvesting tools and equipment and introduced key personnel the new delegates would meet at the farm. Ms. Gojar also shared practical tips to help the delegates prepare for their trip and adjust to their new environment.

As a student organization under the International Relations Office, The Voyagers continues to support internationalization and global engagement by helping fellow students prepare for international learning opportunities. With the support of the College of Agriculture, the mentoring session provided a space for the incoming delegates to learn from the experiences of the pioneering batch and gain confidence before their departure.

The session ended with messages of encouragement from the pioneering delegates, who reminded the new batch to enjoy their experience, learn as much as they can, and represent Sorsogon State University and the Philippines with pride and integrity. As the University prepares to send its second batch to South Korea, the initiative builds on the success of the first group and strengthens the campus commitment to providing students with opportunities to learn beyond borders.

𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 🪔🕯️📿

In line with the 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 this October, the 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 celebrates this observance on October 22, 2026, on the campus grounds. Together with the students, organizations, and faculty, the field was illuminated with lights and candles, shaping the living rosary. As the sun set, creating a calming scenery, the living rosary became a beacon of hope for the campus community. 🪔

This initiative is a symbol of hope, peace, prayer, and devotion among participants. The five mysteries created hope through the intentions for students, faculty, and student leaders. The intentions of prayer were for those individuals who are suffering with their mental health, students who are thriving in life, those who are sick, prayers for safety, and those individuals who are losing faith.

The culminating activity concluded with the remarks of the SSC President, appreciating every participant’s presence and giving a reminder to pray through every up and down. As the smoke of the candles slowly fades, may our prayers reach the One who listens and answers them. May our doubts start to lighten as the smoke flies freely in the air, and may this culminating activity give you peace, hope, and a heartfelt reflection to come back to 𝐇𝐈𝐌 through prayer to our 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐲.📿

𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗦𝗨 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮 𝗻𝗴 ‘𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘄 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗮’ 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻

𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮 | Nagsagawa ang Sorsogon State University–Castilla Campus ng “Lakaw Kita: SorSU Mental Health Walk” noong Oktubre 19, 2026, upang itaguyod ang kamalayan sa kalusugang pangkaisipan at hikayatin ang pagkalinga sa sarili at kapwa.

Inorganisa ng Guidance and Counseling Services Unit (GCSU), sa ilalim ng Office of Student Development Services (OSDS), ang aktibidad bilang bahagi ng SorSU Annual Health Month. Lumahok dito ang mga mag-aaral, g**o, at kawani ng pamantasan.

Binigyang-diin ng programa ang kahalagahan ng pisikal na pagkilos at sama-samang pakikilahok sa pagpapagaan ng stress, pagpapanatili ng emosyonal na kagalingan, at pagpapatibay ng ugnayan sa loob ng pamantasan.

Sinimulan ang programa sa “Get to Know Each Other,” isang serye ng mga interaktibong laro at tanungan na naglalayong tulungan ang mga kalahok na higit na makilala ang isa’t isa. Namahagi rin ng mga lollipop na may kalakip na mensaheng nagbibigay-inspirasyon bilang simpleng paraan ng paghahatid ng positibong mensahe.

Nagsagawa rin ng Zumba session upang hikayatin ang mga kalahok na kumilos at mag-ehersisyo. Pinagsama ng gawain ang pisikal na aktibidad at pakikisalamuha bilang bahagi ng pagtataguyod ng pisikal at mental na kagalingan.

Kasunod nito ang gawaing “What I Hope, What I Can’t Say, What I Need,” kung saan pinagnilayan ng mga kalahok ang kanilang mga inaasam, mga saloobing nahihirapan silang ipahayag, at mga pangangailangan. Sumagot din sila sa tatlong tanong hinggil sa mga katangian at bahagi ng kanilang sarili na nakikita at hindi nakikita ng ibang tao.

Sa presentasyong “Voices that Matter: Strengthening Awareness, Care, and Support at SorSU,” itinampok ang kahalagahan ng kamalayan, pangangalaga, at suporta sa pagsusulong ng kalusugang pangkaisipan sa loob ng pamantasan.

Bago ang bukas na pagbabahagi, nagsindi ng mga kandila ang mga kalahok. Ibinahagi nila ang kanilang mga pagninilay, natutuhan, at saloobin mula sa mga isinagawang gawain.

Nagbigay naman ng mahahalagang paalala si Mr. Nerwin A. Labini, person-in-charge ng Guidance and Counseling Services Unit ng SorSU Castilla Campus. Binigyang-diin niya ang kahalagahan ng pagkilala sa sariling damdamin, aktibong pakikinig, pag-unawa sa pinagdaraanan ng kapwa, at paghingi ng naaangkop na suporta kung kinakailangan.

Nagtapos ang aktibidad sa paglagda sa commitment wall bilang pagpapahayag ng suporta ng mga kalahok sa pagtataguyod ng isang pamayanang nagpapahalaga sa pangangalaga sa sarili, bukas na komunikasyon, at malasakit sa kalusugang pangkaisipan ng bawat isa.

Sa pamamagitan ng “Lakaw Kita,” hinikayat ng SorSU ang mga mag-aaral at kawani na ituring ang kalusugang pangkaisipan bilang sama-samang pananagutan at isabuhay ang pakikinig, pag-unawa, at pagbibigay ng suporta sa kapwa.
