SSS Officers Attend Leadership Seminar

The officers of the Soil Science Society participated in the Leadership Upgrade Follow-through at the CLSU Auditorium on January 30, 2026.

The event began with the opening remarks by Dr. Angeli T. Austria, Guidance Services Unit In-charged. Followed by Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, Vice President of Academic Affairs, for her inspirational message.

Dr. Ravelina stressed that good leadership isn't about delegation—it's about demonstration. "A good leader doesn't just talk; you lead by example," she explained. "It's not 'you do that—it's let us all do that."

The event featured guest speaker Mr. Ralph Jacinto Quiblat, in which he discussed "commitment, accountability, and good governance."

Sir Quiblat opened with a profound reflection, "We lead because we believe in the power of positive change." He quoted Hannah Arendt's insight that "the smallest act in the most limited circumstances bears the seed of boundlessness, because one deed, and sometimes one word, suffices to change every constellation." This concept became a central theme on how individual actions create waves that transform entire systems.

Participants left with a powerful reminder "You are the one who will change your life."

As Dr. Ravelina and Sir Quiblat emphasized, leadership is not just a position—it's a way of seeing and being, a lifestyle response. When facing challenges, the question to ask is always: "What's the more loving option?"

In loving memory of 𝐑𝐞𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐞 𝐀. 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞 🤍

Saying your name now feels different. It carries a silence we were never ready for, a pain that stays even when words are gone.

You were our Re-joy—the joy that always came back. Our quiet strength behind every program, our runner who never hesitated to help, riding your Bajaj with dedication and care. That is why you will always be our 𝐁𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐣 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥, steadfast, reliable, and selfless.

You had a heart that was truly rare.
Kind beyond measure, endlessly patient, always willing to listen and speak with empathy. You loved to tease us, and yes, you were a little easy to get annoyed with, but even that was part of your sincerity, something we grew to love. Every word you spoke carried thoughtfulness. Every action showed care.

We will forever remember the small things that made you special, your favorite blue Nissin ramen, your dislike for spicy food, the way you fit so naturally into everyone’s lives. You had a gift for connection. Being with you felt easy, safe, and genuine. And in everything you did, your family always came first.

It breaks our hearts that you were taken too soon.
There was still so much life ahead of you, so many dreams yet to unfold. You were not just a friend, a classmate or a member to us, you were 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲. A sibling in the truest sense. And losing you has left an emptiness we cannot explain.

But even in your absence, you remain with us.
You live in our memories, in our shared laughter, in the bonds we built together, bonds that time and even death cannot destroy.
Wherever you are now, we hope you know how pure your heart was, and how deeply you were loved by your friends, classmates, and especially your family.

As students who learn from and care for the soil, we understand that the soil is not an end, it is a place of rest, renewal, and peace. And now, Rejoy, may you rest gently within it, embraced by the earth, just as you embraced all of us with your kindness.

We, the 𝐂𝐋𝐒𝐔–𝐒𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲, extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family of our beloved sister, 𝐌𝐬. 𝐑𝐞𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞. Her kindness, dedication, and gentle presence will forever remain in our hearts.

May she rest in eternal peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this most difficult time.

Happy World Soil Day 🌏✨

Healthy soils keep cities cooler, greener and safer.

When soil is sealed under concrete, heat rises, floods worsen and nature disappears.

Living soils absorb water, support trees, and make urban life more resilient. 🌱🏙️
