While our contribution came after the official Brigada Eskwela schedule, we believe that acts of service are never too late when they are intended to support learning and uplift the community. We hope that these donations will help the students, teachers, and school personnel as they prepare for another meaningful academic year. ๐Ÿซ

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Joseph P. Gregorio, Principal II, and the faculty of Ilalim Elementary School for warmly welcoming us and for making this community initiative possible.

Through simple acts of generosity and collaboration, we continue to prove that education thrives when communities come together in service.๐Ÿงก

๐ŸŽ‰ Happy Birthday to Our Amazing President! ๐ŸŽ‰

Happy Birthday to Franchesca Lei M. Arcega, our President who has dedicated three consecutive years of service to ELITES! Thank you for all the time, effort, and commitment you have given to the organization. From handling responsibilities to leading the team through challenges, your dedication has helped shape ELITES into what it is today. You also have a remarkable talent for building connections and creating opportunities, not just for yourself but for the people around you as well.

Your strength and determination are some of the things we admire most about you. You are someone who knows how to stand your ground and fight for what you believe is right, no matter the situation. And while we may have our occasional love-hate moments with you (and vice versa ๐Ÿ˜†), one thing remains true, we all respect, appreciate, and care for you more than we probably say out loud.

Thank you for your leadership, guidance, patience (minsan), and everything you have done for the ELITES family. We hope you know that you are loved by the people around you and that your efforts never go unnoticed. Wishing you a birthday filled with happiness, laughter, well-deserved rest, and all the success you deserve. Happy Birthday, Chesca! ๐Ÿฅณ

At the heart of this achievement is the ๐Ž๐ง๐ž๐ƒ๐ž๐ฏ ๐๐‡ ๐ญ๐ž๐š๐ฆ, composed of BSIT students Marina Camaso, Paulo Cordova, Earl Romeo Ordovez, Nikolai Roman Nepomuceno, Aaron Paul Sario, and Seann Patrick Tamondong. Guiding their journey is the leadership of Gordon College's College of Computer Studies, represented by Prof. Ronnie D. Luy, Dean; Prof. Armilyn T. Martinez, Assistant Dean; and Mr. Reynaldo G. Bautista Jr., BSIT Program Chair.

This milestone was also made possible through the support of provincial agenciesโ€”the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), and Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT)โ€”under the inspiring leadership of ๐Œ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐ข๐ฉ๐š๐ฅ ๐Œ๐š๐ฒ๐จ๐ซ ๐‡๐จ๐ง. ๐ˆ๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐š ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ-๐๐ขรฑ๐š๐ง.

The program opened with inspiring messages from Vice Mayor Hon. Joan Ballesteros and Mayor Manquiz-Biรฑan, who emphasized the role of emerging technologies in strengthening community connections. Their vision was echoed by Prof. Ronnie D. Luy, DTI Zambales Provincial Director Dr. Enrique D. Tacbad, DILG Provincial Director Ms. Melissa Nipal LGOO VII, DICT representative Mr. Kevin Lords Montevirgen, and Market Vendors Association President Mr. Ruben Mauhay.

This achievement is more than a technological upgradeโ€”it is a bold vision for smarter governance and inclusive growth. By becoming the first fully digitized public market in Zambales, Iba sets a benchmark for other municipalities aspiring to embrace innovation and digital transformation. And with the new tool, the digitization of the New Iba Public Market ensures transparent governance, vendor accountability, and consumer protection through digital records and monitoring.

The success of this launch reflects the relentless dedication and collaboration of the OneDev PH team, the College of Computer Studies at Gordon College, and the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Iba. Together, they have bridged the gap between innovative code and community impact.

One of the strongest messages from the seminar was the reminder to set aside judgment and recognize the value of every individual. Leadership, after all, is not measured solely by influence or authorityโ€”it is reflected in our ability to create spaces where people feel safe, respected, heard, and empowered. ๐’๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ง๐จ ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐›๐ž๐ก๐ข๐ง๐. ๐Ÿซ‚

The discussion also served as a call to action. While we may have our own limitations, we also have a responsibility to respond and take action whenever it is right and just and when the situation calls for it. As student leaders and changemakers, our responsibility extends beyond leading projects and organizationsโ€”it includes fostering environments where empathy, equality, and respect thrive.

As the saying goes, โ€œ๐™’๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ ๐™œ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ข๐™š๐™จ ๐™œ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™ž๐™—๐™ž๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ.โ€May this learning inspire us to become leaders who not only lead with competence, but also with compassion, courage, and a genuine commitment to building a better tomorrow for all. ๐Ÿงก

His discussion deeply explored the true foundation of successful student organizations: the undeniable power of effective communication.

One of the most striking moments of the seminar was a powerful call for self-reflection. Sir Jonas challenged the attendees to pause, look inward, and honestly ask themselves what kind of student leaders they truly are. He reminded everyone that building a progressive and thriving organization relies heavily on leaders who know how to connect, listen, and articulate shared goals with empathy and clarity. Great leadership does not just command; it communicates, empowers, and unites.

This experience serves as a powerful reminder that our ability to lead effectively within our organization is deeply tied to how well we understand and are understood by our peers. True leadership requires constant refinement of how we share our vision and support our fellow students.

May these profound reflections guide us in fostering a stronger, more communicative, and progressive ELITES community where every voice is valued and understood.

Yesterday, May 29, 2026, marked a defining moment for public service and digital innovation as ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐Œ๐„๐“๐‘๐Ž (๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐„๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ & ๐“๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ž ๐Ž๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž) was officially launched in the Municipality of San Antonio, Zambales.

Standing at the forefront of this technological breakthrough, the ๐Ž๐ง๐ž๐ƒ๐ž๐ฏ ๐๐‡ teamโ€”composed of students under the BSIT Program, Marina Camaso, Paulo Cordova, Earl Romeo Ordovez, Nikolai Roman Nepomuceno, Aaron Paul Sario, and Seann Patrick Tamondong. The team was accompanied by the leadership of the College of Computer Studies at Gordon College, including Prof. Ronnie D. Luy, College Dean, Prof. Armilyn T. Martinez, College Assistant Dean, and Mr. Reynaldo G. Bautista Jr., BSIT Program Chair

The program opened with a forward-looking welcome address from ๐Œ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐ข๐ฉ๐š๐ฅ ๐Œ๐š๐ฒ๐จ๐ซ ๐‡๐จ๐ง. ๐€๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง ๐€๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฉ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ, who underscored the critical role of digital solutions in modernizing local governance. The event gained further momentum with insightful, empowering messages delivered by ๐‚๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐ž ๐ƒ๐ž๐š๐ง, ๐๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ. ๐‘๐จ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ž ๐ƒ. ๐‹๐ฎ๐ฒ and ๐‘๐ž๐ ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐ƒ๐ข๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ, ๐„๐๐ง๐š ๐ƒ. ๐ƒ๐ข๐ณ๐จ๐ง.

At its core, Project METRO is engineered to redefine market inspection and compliance tracking. By transitioning manual, paper-based enforcement into a centralized digital ecosystem. For the community, this means enhanced regulatory enforcement, heightened transparency, and a more secure, consumer-friendly local economy.

A breakthrough of this magnitude is the result of relentless hard work and cross-sector collaboration. Heartiest congratulations to the OneDev PH team, the College of Computer Studies, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Local Government Unit (LGU) of San Antonio for bridging the gap between innovative code and community impact.

Project METRO stands as a powerful testament to what can be achieved when academic talent aligns with civic duty. This launch does not merely mark the deployment of a new application, but rather it establishes a scalable blueprint for smarter and more transparent governance across the entire province.
