SCHOLARS’ YEAR-END PARTY

Last December 17, 2025, our scholars gathered at the Adelina 1 Basketball Court for a year-end party filled with laughter and joy. With fun games, special performances, a mash-up dance contest, raffle prizes, and good food, they truly had a great time. It was genuinely one for the books.

What made it even more meaningful was seeing our scholars happy, confident, and fully present in the moment. Days like this remind us that beyond programs and tasks, what truly matters is sharing joy, gratitude, and hope as one community.

Epiroc Philippines and Monark Foundation Partner to Train Scholars Under Dualized Training Program.

Epiroc Philippines has announced a strategic partnership with Monark Foundation to implement a Dualized Training Program aimed at producing highly skilled, job-ready scholars for the heavy equipment and mining solutions sector. This initiative combines in-school theoretical instruction with hands-on and on-site training, ensuring participants acquire both academic knowledge and practical experience aligned with industry standards.

Epiroc Philippines chose Monark Foundation because its curriculum closely aligns with the training provided to Epiroc’s own employees—especially in the areas of heavy equipment operation and maintenance. This alignment guarantees that scholars will graduate with competencies that meet real-world demands.

This partnership underscores Epiroc and Monark’s commitment to workforce development in the Philippines. By aligning technical education with industry standards, the program creates a strong pathway for scholars to transition into meaningful careers—supporting national goals in employability and industrial growth.

MF’s STRATEGIC PLANNING 2025

We conducted our strategic planning on November 20–21, 2025, at the Monark Equipment Training Center. It was a rare and meaningful opportunity to gather all teammates from the Cagayan de Oro and San Pedro branches of Monark Foundation Inc.

In two intensive days, we reviewed drafts for the new Vision, Mission, and Core Values, along with action plans for the next three years. The process was thorough and thought-provoking, yet full of possibilities and hope for the future. Most importantly, it strengthened our commitment to better serve our scholars, customers, clients, and industry partners.

The sessions were facilitated by Ms. Marie Jane Liban, a true leader and legend of Monark Foundation, with the leadership and guidance of our Executive Director, Ma. Cecil Valencia.

Here’s to an exciting and hopeful future for MFI, stronger and ready to make a difference!

Finding God in All Things

Last September 1–2, 2025, our scholars from HES 58 and IOM 15 participated in a two-day retreat at the Mornese Center for Spirituality, an experience that was both meaningful and unforgettable.
Through prayer, silence, and heartfelt sharing, they learned to recognize God’s presence in life’s simplest moments, bringing them peace, clarity, and an opportunity for deeper reflection. But the retreat was more than just quiet time; it was filled with joy, laughter, and moments of friendship that strengthened their bond as a batch.
This retreat was not just a break from routine; it was a beautiful reminder that God is with us in every step, in our dreams and struggles, and in the people who walk this journey with us.
