Southern Baptist College (SBC) convened parents, teachers, and partner agencies today, October 14, 2026, for the Joint General PTA Assembly of its Elementary and High School Departments at the SBC Gymnasium.

Anchored on the theme “Safe Schools, Shared Responsibility,” the afternoon assembly brought together school administrators, local law enforcement, social welfare official, and education officer to discuss crucial strategies for fostering a secure, nurturing, and disciplined environment for all students.

Setting the direction for the event, SBC President Dr. Alvin Lynn P. Bergante delivered the welcome address and presented the program’s rationale. In his message, Dr. Bergante emphasized that true vigilance is not about living in fear, but about taking responsibility, staying prepared, and acting proactively before a concern escalates into a crisis. As he reiterated, "We must be vigilant not out of fear, but out of stewardship.

The assembly featured key presentations from partner agency representatives who shared actionable insights and guidelines:

• Safety & Community Partnership: PLTCOL Realan E. Mamon, Chief of Police at the M'lang Police Station, presented essential safety protocols and emphasized how strong cooperation between law enforcement and the community helps protect students.

• Child Protection & Psychosocial Support: Ms. Serielle Mei G. Talatala, Municipal Social Welfare Officer, discussed psychosocial support systems and proactive child protection strategies to ensure student well-being both inside and outside the school.

• DepEd Safety & Discipline Policies: Dr. Julie B. Lumogdang, representing Mr. Ramil D. Flores (Private Schools Coordinator for the DepEd Cotabato Division), detailed official Department of Education policies on school safety, anti-bullying, and student discipline.

Adding to the significance of the event, Cotabato Provincial Board Members Ivy Martia Lei Dalumpines-Ballitoc, Shirlyn Macasarte, and Sittie Antao paid a timely visit during the assembly, demonstrating strong provincial support for SBC’s school safety and child protection initiatives.

To conclude the program, Executive Vice President Prof. Novie Joy I. Salmorin presented the Way Forward, outlining SBC’s strategic action plan and issuing a call to action for sustained collaboration among parents, educators, and community partners.

Above all these efforts, Southern Baptist College remains anchored in faith, firmly believing that God is the ultimate source of protection and guidance for the entire school community.
