The 7th Week of Caring from the Heart of IM

The AMCM Internal Medicine Department, in partnership with the Office of Community Extension Services, once again extended compassionate healthcare services to our adopted community in Barangay 23, Zone 2, Pasay City, on August 24, 2026.

With a service filled with smiles and genuine care, our resilient and compassionate physician, Dr. NJ Conferido, provided much-needed healthcare services to the community. The activity was made possible with the support and assistance of the Barangay 23 officers, under the leadership of Barangay Chairman A. Rivera.

The community healthcare service was successfully conducted through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated healthcare team and barangay partners.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the AMCM–Internal Medicine Department for continuously sending compassionate physicians who selflessly extend healing, care, and hope to communities in need.

Thank you for continuing to care from the heart. ❤️

The holistic care extended to the adopted community in Barangay 23, Zone 2 was made possible through the collaboration and teamwork of the Community Extension Services Office, Department of Medical Laboratory Science, and Department of Pharmacy.

Last May 7, 2026, the above-mentioned departments extended their expertise to the community by providing health lectures about chronic diseases, their impact, and prevention. After the lecture, residents were given free blood typing, glucose tests, and vitamins, together with vital sign assessments. Several residents from the adopted community participated, benefited from the services, and went home with smiles, having their needs addressed through the services provided.

Thank you so much to our MAC volunteers for sharing your expertise with our community and for extending holistic care beyond your comforts. The extended hours of service demonstrated your compassion beyond the four walls of our institution. True to our mission of equipping you for life, you are developing and enhancing your knowledge and skills in your chosen course in preparation for providing professional service to the community.

All glory to God!

MAC Volunteers Persevere Despite Heavy Rain for Urban Tree Planting Advocacy

Dedication ✓
High Spirit of Volunteerism ✓
Teamwork ✓
Nature Lovers ✓
Saving Mother Earth ✓

The amazing batch of volunteers persevered despite the heavy rain on their way to the tree-planting site at the C6 Taguig Bike Lane on August 14, 2026. Faculty members and student volunteers from the Departments of Radiologic Technology and Medical Laboratory Science fulfilled their bucket-list experience by supporting the environmental advocacy of Manila Adventist College (MAC) through the Office of Community Extension Services (CES), particularly its Save Mother Earth thrust.

In collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – National Capital Region (DENR-NCR) and the resilient officers and workers of the Taguig City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), MAC volunteers successfully planted 60 Tabebuia and banana seedlings despite the challenging weather conditions.

Rainwater filled the pathways, while splashes from passing vehicles added to the challenge. Nevertheless, the volunteers never hesitated to complete the planting of all the seedlings allotted to their batch. Their dedication, teamwork, and high spirit of volunteerism demonstrated their commitment to environmental stewardship and community service.

This urban tree-planting advocacy inspired the MAC volunteers to support an initiative that can create a positive impact on future generations. Urban tree planting contributes to greener and more sustainable communities, helps improve the urban environment, and supports efforts to address climate change.

After completing the tree planting, all the volunteers enjoyed a simple but satisfying treat of boiled saging na saba and eggs—a well-deserved reward after a meaningful and productive day of service with fun!

Manila Adventist College extends its heartfelt gratitude to the MAC Administration for its continued support of this environmental advocacy and for helping advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

- SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, by promoting greener and more sustainable urban spaces;
- SDG 13 – Climate Action, by supporting efforts to address and mitigate the impacts of climate change; and
- SDG 15 – Life on Land, by contributing to the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems.

MAC is also grateful to our valued partners, DENR-NCR and the Taguig City Government, particularly the Taguig CENRO, for their good camaraderie, dedication, and active collaboration in making this environmental initiative possible.

Together, we continue to work toward a greener and more sustainable future and to save Mother Earth for generations to come.

All glory and praises to God!
