𝗦𝗘𝗜 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 | The 2026 Scholars Leadership Camp (SLC) in Cagayan Valley Region provided an opportunity for DOST-SEI scholars in Region II to connect with one another, build their collective, and reflect on the responsibilities that come with scholarship.

The Cagayan Valley edition of SLC encouraged participants to see their experiences from a broader perspective and recognize that their knowledge has the potential to effect change in their communities.

As we bring SLC 2026 across the country, let us see how this inspires scholars to apply their skills for the benefit of society. Together, we are contributing to a better future.

𝗦𝗟𝗖 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟬𝟭 | Where the Pinacanauan meets the mighty Cagayan River, under wide northern skies, something is stirring. 100 DOST scholar-leaders have converged in Tuguegarao City — walking the same ground once shaped by the Ybanag, Irraya, Itawes, and Ilokano peoples — to kick off Day 1 of the Scholars Leadership Camp in Cagayan Valley 2026.

DOST Cagayan Valley Regional Director Dr. Virginia G. Bilgera didn't waste the moment. Right in the middle of opening-day excitement, she gave the delegates something to actually chew on: a reminder that patriotism and excellence aren't things you feel — they're things you do, especially when it's hard.

“𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽; 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲.”

That's the spirit the Filipino Patriot Scholars Program is built on, and it's the course SLC 2026 has now officially set. Just like the old brick structures scattered across the valley — still standing, still holding their shape after everything — these scholars are here to cut through the noise, put in the work, and figure out what kind of leaders science and integrity actually demand of them.
