[𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗] The University of Southeastern Philippines Tagum-Mabini Campus (USeP TMC) has announced its top statistical achievers following the successful completion of the School-Level Elimination for the 30th Philippine Statistics Quiz (PSQ) on August 24, 2026. Three students have secured their spots in the provincial stage of the competition.

Taking place at the Farmers Training Center (FTC), the event attracted 27 participants from various academic programs and was organized by the USeP Tagum Student Council - Executive Committee (USeP TSC).

The contest put the participants’ statistical knowledge, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving skills to the test, demanding precision under pressure and a firm command of quantitative concepts.

Rising above the field was Mr. Theo Clyde L. Cabaylo, a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) student, who clinched the school-level championship.

Mr. Cabaylo was followed by Mr. Alexis Daniel Castre, of the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics, in second place, and Mr. Ray John L. Pagangpang, also of BSIT, in third place.

Rounding out the top five were Princess Dianne Orpiano of BSEd Mathematics in fourth place and Jhon Renz Cabori of Bachelor of Elementary Education in fifth.

The activity supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), particularly its focus on equipping learners with the relevant knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong learning and meaningful engagement in society.

The University also acknowledges the 27 students who stepped forward to compete. Their involvement illustrated that statistics is not just about numbers on a page; it is a discipline that cultivates curiosity, challenges assumptions, and transforms information into valuable insights.

For Cabaylo, Castre, and Pagangpang, their victory at the school level is just the beginning. As they progress to the provincial stage, they will carry with them not only the honor of representing USeP Tagum-Mabini Campus but also the determination of a community that believes in its students’ ability to think critically, compete confidently, and let data convey meaning with purpose.

[𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗗𝗘𝗗] The University of Southeastern Philippines College of Teacher Education and Technology (USeP CTET) officially deployed its pre-service teachers to partner schools on August 17–19, 2026, marking a crucial transition from University-based learning to authentic classroom experience through Field Study (FS) 411 and FS 412.

The deployment brought together pre-service teachers from the Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd), Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd), Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (BECEd), Bachelor of Special Needs Education (BSNEd), and Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTEd) programs, providing future educators with opportunities to translate academic preparation into meaningful experiences in actual school communities.

For the BSEd Mathematics pre-service teachers, the journey into the classroom began at Tagum City National High School on August 17. The deployment orientation in the school's audiovisual room began with a welcome address by the school principal, Dr. Dionisio B. Siglos. This was followed by a discussion led by Site Coordinator Ms. Rodelyn Cuamag, who outlined the school's rules and regulations and the pre-service teachers' assignments to their cooperating teachers. Associate Professor Mary Jane C. Ningas delivered the Words of Acceptance, formally welcoming the pre-service teachers into the school community.

Having transitioned from solving mathematical problems on paper to helping young learners understand them, the Mathematics majors now face the challenge of making mathematical concepts engaging and meaningful in the classroom.

The BSEd English and BSEd Filipino pre-service teachers from sections 4SE-A and 4SF-B have officially begun their Field Study Deployment at La Filipina National High School. During the orientation held in the school's Audiovisual Room, Principal Dr. Prescilla R. Gullez delivered the welcome address. This was followed by Ms. Khristal Therese P. Aguilar, who discussed the school's rules and regulations and the pre-service teachers' assignments to their cooperating teachers. Associate Professor Mary Jane C. Ningas then gave the Words of Acceptance, formally welcoming the future educators into the school community.

With classrooms ahead and lessons waiting to be taught, the English and Filipino majors have moved beyond just learning about teaching to experiencing it firsthand.

On August 18, CTET conducted the Pre-Service Teachers Deployment and Orientation for FS 411 and FS 412, officially assigning 11 pre-service teachers from the BTVTEd major in Agricultural Crop Production to Asuncion National High School. The orientation equipped these future educators with deployment guidelines, expectations, and professional responsibilities. University faculty and school leaders encouraged them to enter the classroom ready to lead with competence and excellence.

On August 19, another group of pre-service teachers, specializing in Agricultural Crop Production, participated in an orientation at Jose Tuason Jr. Memorial National High School. This activity prepared them for their Field Study experience by discussing their roles, responsibilities, expectations, and professional conduct within the school community. This collaboration offers an authentic environment where future technical-vocational educators can apply their knowledge and skills while engaging meaningfully with learners.

Additionally, seven BTVTEd students majoring in Agricultural Crop Production were officially deployed to Antonio V. Fruto Sr. National High School. Given that the school offers programs in Agri-Crops Production and Organic Agriculture Production, this partnership provides an appropriate setting for the pre-service teachers to enhance their instructional skills and gain practical experience in agricultural education.

The Bachelor of Special Needs Education (BSNEd) conducted its FS 411 and FS 412 Deployment Orientation at Magugpo Pilot Imelda Elementary School – SPED Center on August 19. School Principal IV Leonila C. Añonuevo opened the program, followed by discussions on field study guidelines, stakeholder roles, and PST–cooperating teacher assignments led by BSNEd FS Supervisors Dr. Genna J. Carmelo and Dr. Leonila M. Fajardo, along with Site Coordinator Marlita M. Manuel, MT III. Dr. Fajardo, who is also the BSNEd Program Head and FS 412 Supervisor, delivered the closing remarks.

For the BEEd 4D3-A students, the orientation at the Magugpo Pilot Central Elementary School Media Center established a foundation for their field experience. The session focused on field study readiness, classroom expectations, professional conduct, and the responsibilities associated with their deployment. This activity emphasized the importance of professionalism, accountability, and preparedness as the students entered the school environment.

At Don Ricardo Briz Central Elementary School, the BEEd 4D3-B students held their FS 411 and FS 412 Deployment Orientation on August 19. School Principal IV Dr. Gemma C. Mabalod welcomed the pre-service teachers, while FS and Practicum Coordinator Ms. Geramae C. Madera presented the course information and general guidelines. BEEd FS Supervisor Dr. Arnulfo S. Masong discussed the roles, duties, and responsibilities of the pre-service teachers (PSTs), while Site Coordinator Mrs. Julie Z. Cabalagan outlined their assignments with cooperating teachers. CTET Associate Dean Dr. Jose G. Tan Jr. concluded the program with reminders and encouragement as the students began their field study journey.

Meanwhile, BECEd pre-service teachers received their deployment orientation at Visayan Village Central Elementary School, where school leadership and field study personnel discussed students' responsibilities, course guidelines, grading system, school rules, and PST–cooperating-teacher assignments. The orientation prepared the future early childhood educators for meaningful engagement within the school community.

Across these partner schools, one message rang clear: Field Study is more than an academic requirement; it is a bridge between preparation and profession. Every classroom observation, interaction with learners, conversation with cooperating teachers, and challenge encountered contributes to the formation of educators who will eventually lead classrooms of their own.

The deployment also supports Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, with a focus on enhancing educational quality and improving the preparation of skilled educators. By placing pre-service teachers in real school environments, USeP strengthens the connection between teacher education and professional practice. This approach develops educators who possess the knowledge, skills, adaptability, and compassion necessary to foster quality learning.

As the pre-service teachers enter their assigned schools, they bring more than just lesson plans, field study requirements, and academic knowledge. They carry the important responsibility of becoming educators who can inspire, adapt, understand, and serve their communities. The classroom becomes their laboratory, their learners become their partners, and every experience serves as a lesson in their journey to become the teachers their communities need.

[𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗] The University of Southeastern Philippines College of Teacher Education and Technology (USeP CTET) celebrated a new generation of licensed educators by holding the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT) Topnotchers and Passers Recognition Ceremony at the Herminigildo C. Baloyo, M.D. Hall of the Tagum City Historical and Cultural Center, Tagum City, Davao del Norte.

The ceremony brought together USeP Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jeneifer C. Nueva, USeP CTET Dean Dr. Mildin J. Retutas, CTET Associate Dean Dr. Jose G. Tan, Jr., program heads, faculty and staff, fourth-year pre-service teachers, and newly licensed Agila Teachers to celebrate a milestone shaped by perseverance, preparation, and purpose.

Opening the ceremony, Dean Retutas reminded the newly licensed teachers that their achievement was never theirs alone. He credited the families, friends, mentors, and teachers who stood behind them, while urging the new professionals to carry into the classroom not only their academic preparation but also “a heart that understands, the patience to guide, the courage to face challenges, and the willingness to make a difference” in the life of every learner.

The ceremony recognized the newly licensed Agila Teachers who passed the LEPT in September 2025 and March 2026. Among those honored were Ms. Ann Kristine Dela Peña Danlag, LPT; Ms. Hanna Jane Miaros Molina, LPT; Ms. Maricel Tabasa Erispe, LPT; Mr. Dave Mhar Poyota Abaniza, LPT; and Ms. Kyla B. Lastimosa, LPT. They also received cash incentives and tokens of appreciation for their outstanding performances in the licensure examinations.

VPAA Nueva underscored that earning the LPT title is more than acquiring a professional credential. It is a mandate to serve. She challenged the new teachers to recognize that effective teaching demands more than mastery of lessons; it requires presence, patience, flexibility, and compassion in responding to learners with different backgrounds, experiences, and needs.

After her message, Associate Dean Tan introduced the keynote speaker, Dr. Dominic M. Dizon, the Public Schools District Supervisor of DepEd Davao del Norte, who urged the newly licensed educators to stay focused on the core of the profession: the learner.

“Do not allow the problems surrounding the profession to make you forget the purpose of the profession,” Dr. Dizon said, reminding the teachers that when the demands of the profession become overwhelming, they must return to the fundamental reason they chose to teach: the child, the classroom, and the opportunity to change lives. Dr. Dizon also encouraged the new teachers to look for the “silver lining” amid the challenges they may encounter in their careers, not to romanticize difficulties, but to recognize opportunities to learn, serve, and make things better.

Adding a personal dimension to the celebration, September 2025 LEPT Top 8 Elementary Level Ms. Kyla B. Lastimosa, LPT, and March 2026 LEPT Top 1 Elementary Level Ms. Ann Kristine Dela Peña Danlag, LPT, shared their testimonials. Both expressed gratitude to those who supported their journeys and offered words of encouragement to the fourth-year pre-service teachers who will soon embark on the same professional path. The stories shared during the recognition ceremony shifted the focus from just celebrating results to highlighting the efforts behind every passing mark and top-ranking achievement. These include countless hours of preparation, the sacrifices made by families, the guidance of mentors, and the unwavering determination to keep moving forward.

The celebration also acknowledged the partner schools that have consistently supported USeP CTET's teacher education program. Through their classrooms, mentors, and school communities, these institutions have provided pre-service teachers with valuable opportunities to apply pedagogical theories in real teaching situations. Their partnership has helped bridge the gap between university-based preparation and the realities of the teaching profession, making them essential collaborators in shaping competent, compassionate, and practice-ready educators. This recognition of the cooperating schools emphasizes that preparing future teachers is a shared responsibility. Behind every successful Agila Teacher stands not only a university and a family but also a network of educators and institutions dedicated to nurturing the next generation of teachers.

The celebration highlights Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, particularly its commitment to providing quality education and enhancing the preparation of skilled educators. By recognizing its graduates’ achievements and inspiring the next generation of teachers, USeP CTET emphasizes the vital role of teacher education in fostering inclusive, responsive, and transformative learning communities.

For the newly licensed Agila Teachers, the ceremony signifies not an end, but a new beginning. While the letters “LPT” will now be written after their names, a greater title awaits them in every classroom they enter, that of teacher, mentor, advocate, and builder of futures. As they transition from university to profession, USeP encourages the Agila Teachers with one enduring challenge: teach with knowledge, lead with compassion, and strive to leave every learner better than you found them.

[𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗] Financial support takes another step toward the classroom as the University of Southeastern Philippines Tagum-Mabini Campus (USeP TMC), through the Office of Student Affairs and Services, Tagum Unit, facilitated the release of the Tulong Dunong Program (TDP) assistance to 25 student beneficiaries today at the Farmer’s Training Center, USeP TMC, Tagum Unit.

Present during the activity was Campus Accounting Unit Head Ms. Eunice May B. Alima, OSAS Tagum Unit Scholarship Coordinator Ms. Earma G. Padilla, OSAS Scholarship Tagum Unit Staff Ms. Arianne Malubay, and the 25 student beneficiaries who received the scholarship assistance.

The Tertiary Education Subsidy (TDP), implemented by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through the Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (UniFAST), provides eligible college students with a ₱7,500 subsidy each regular semester. This financial assistance is intended to help cover essential educational and everyday school expenses.

During the event, Ms. Alima congratulated the beneficiaries and reminded them to make the most of the assistance by using it responsibly to support their education. She emphasized that financial aid is not only a form of support but also an opportunity for students to stay focused on their academic goals.

Meanwhile, Ms. Padilla encouraged both the beneficiaries and their fellow students to actively seek out other scholarships and financial assistance opportunities offered by the government and partner institutions. She highlighted the importance of staying informed and taking advantage of programs designed to make higher education more accessible.

The initiative supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by reducing financial barriers that can prevent students from pursuing and completing their higher education. By providing targeted financial assistance to eligible learners, the program fosters a more inclusive and equitable educational environment. This support enables students to remain in school and follow their aspirations.

For the 25 beneficiaries, this assistance is more than just financial relief; it is an investment in their ongoing journey toward a degree and a better future. As USeP continues to connect students with opportunities that help them stay on track, every form of support represents another step toward an education where financial limitations do not dictate how far an Agila can soar.
