An idea may begin in the mind, but its value lives on through the work, creativity, and ingenuity behind it. When ideas have the power to shape the world, protecting them matters just as much as creating them.

On October 28, 2026, JPIA’s VP for Audit Mark Castro participated in the Intellectual Property (IP) Workshop, gaining insights into the importance of intellectual property rights in safeguarding original works, recognizing creators, and fostering innovation.

This such proves that as accountants know how to account for value, they should also know how to protect where that value begins.

𝗔 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱

JPIA-USM held a prayer meeting for the October CPA Licensure Examination takers on October 22 at the CBDEM AVR.

The gathering brought together CPALE takers and JPIANs for a moment of prayer as the examination draws near. Those who were unable to attend physically also joined through Google Meet to pray and show their support for the examinees.

Beyond the hours of preparation and sacrifices, the prayer meeting reminded everyone that they are not alone in this journey. Together, the JPIA-USM community entrusted its future CPAs, their efforts, and their dreams to God's loving hands.

As Proverbs 16:3 reminds us,“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”

To our future CPAs, trust in your preparation, remain steadfast in your faith, and face the examination with courage. May God grant you wisdom, clarity, and strength every step of the way.

𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗻, 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗣𝗔𝘀!

Before the long-awaited moment of seeing those three letters after their names, we will gather in prayer. The JPIA-USM family is inviting our graduates who are about to take the Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination (CPALE) for the prayer meeting tomorrow, October 22, at 3:00 PM, at the CBDEM AVR.

Padayon, CPAs in transit! May your efforts bear fruit, your faith remain steadfast, and your names soon be written among the newest CPAs in the country. We claim it with faith, we work for it with courage, and we leave the rest in God's hands.

For those who cannot join us in person, you may still be part of the prayer meeting through Google Meet.

𝑨 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈.

This day shouldn’t end without greeting one of the finest educators in the Accountancy Department—our dearest Ma’am Bai!

𝑬𝒊𝒅 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒅, 𝑴𝒂’𝒂𝒎 𝑩𝒂𝒊!

Some professors teach lessons, while others make learning more meaningful. She has always been someone who does both.

Thank you for always giving your best in every discussion, patiently guiding us through challenging topics, and making sure we truly understand the lessons. Your dedication and the effort you put into teaching mean more than you know.

Your kindness, warmth, and ever-present smile also make a difference. Even on an ordinary school day, seeing you around can make things feel a little lighter. These are the little things that make us appreciate you not only as a professor, but also as a person.

May Allah bless you with good health, peace, happiness, and strength in all that you do. May He continue to guide you and grant you more years filled with blessings, success, and beautiful moments.

Thank you for teaching us with patience and heart. We wish you nothing but the best today and in the years to come.

Eid Milad once again, Ma’am Bai!

May your day be as wonderful as the kindness you share with others.

Some people just have a way of making things lighter—Rene is one of them.

Happy Birthday to our Non-Acads Committee member, Rene Fuentes!

From being one of JPIA’s reliable manpower to being that “one call away” officer we can always count on, Rene has proven that being dependable doesn’t always have to be loud. Sometimes, it’s simply showing up, lending a hand, and being there whenever needed.

Known for his cooking skills, kind heart, and understanding nature, he is definitely someone you’d want around—not just when there’s work to be done, but whenever you need someone you can genuinely rely on. Whether it’s helping out, handling things behind the scenes, or simply being there, he always finds a way to make himself useful.

May this year bring you more reasons to smile, more opportunities to grow, and of course, more chances to put those cooking skills to good use.

Keep being the maasahan, mabait, at one-call-away person that JPIA is lucky to have.
