𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟑, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, at the Old Finance Building, we successfully concluded our 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫, a meaningful initiative conducted by the 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 and facilitated by the 𝐂𝐑𝐌𝐂 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭.

More than just a training, this was a reminder of who we are and who we serve. As healthcare workers of CRMC, we encounter people from all walks of life. Gender sensitivity equips us with the awareness, respect, and empathy needed to create a safe and affirming environment not only for our fellow staff but most importantly for our patients.

For our 𝐋𝐆𝐁𝐓𝐐𝐈𝐀+ colleagues and the community members we serve, this seminar reinforces a powerful message: you are seen, you are respected, and you belong. Inclusive healthcare is not optional, it is essential.

May this learning continue to reflect in our daily actions, in every ward, every office, and every patient interaction. Together, we build a workplace and a hospital culture grounded in dignity, equality, and genuine care.

Starting a new journey is always exciting—and at CRMC, we made sure our newest team members felt welcomed, informed, and inspired. This January 2026, CRMC conducted a 2-Day Orientation Program for Newly Hired Employees in two batches: the first batch on January 14–15, 2026, and the second batch on January 20–21, 2026.

𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟕, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 | 𝐂𝐑𝐌𝐂 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐦

The 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 (CRMC) along with the 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭 and the 𝐂𝐑𝐌𝐂 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞, transformed the Mini Auditorium into a hub of connection and advocacy during its 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐟 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, themed “𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞.” The event, approved by 𝐂𝐑𝐌𝐂 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐈𝐈 𝐃𝐫. 𝐈𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐑. 𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧, brought together CRMC staffs, Deaf community leaders, healthcare providers, parents, partners like the MSSD-CPWD, PDAO of the Municipality of Parang, JCI Cotabato Inc. and advocates to reimagine inclusivity in medicine.

𝐂𝐑𝐌𝐂 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧. 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐨 𝐂. 𝐉𝐚𝐯𝐚 𝐉𝐫. opened the program with enthusiasm and challenged everyone to advocate the Deaf and their communities.

Guest Speaker 𝐌𝐬. 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐠𝐚-𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚, and the𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐨 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐟 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, ignited the conversation with a powerful breakdown of 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟎𝟔, a law mandating Filipino Sign Language (FSL) as the primary language for Deaf Filipinos in public services. “Imagine sitting in a hospital, unable to explain your pain or understand your diagnosis,” Lacambre shared, her hands weaving vivid FSL examples like “emergency,” “medicine,” and “consent.” Her workshop turned attendees into active learners, as nurses and staff practiced phrases critical to patient care.

𝐃𝐫. 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚, a 2nd year resident Doctor of CRMC’s Family Medicine Department and the Advocate doctor of the CARES clinic, announced tangible steps toward equity: weekly FSL training for PACD staff, visual alert systems in waiting areas, and partnerships with interpreters. “Communication isn’t a privilege—it’s a right,” she emphasized, drawing applause. Deaf attendees like 22-year-old 𝐎𝐦𝐚𝐫 𝐀. 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐮 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧, who once experienced the CARES clinic for the Deaf, felt seen. “Today,” he signed with a smile, “I know CRMC is fighting for us.”

The event buzzed with collaborative energy. Local Deaf organizations tabled resources, while parents swapped stories of navigating healthcare barriers. 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚, a parent and a participant who attended the FSL demo, admitted, “I never realized how isolating a hospital feels without interpreters. Now, I’m committed to learning.”

As the celebration closed, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐎𝐫𝐨-𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐟, CRMC-FAMMED Chairperson, reaffirmed CRMC’s pledge: “This isn’t a one-time event. It’s the foundation of a healthcare system where no one is left unheard.”

CRMC’s Deaf Awareness Week didn’t just break the silence—it amplified voices long overlooked, proving that inclusivity isn’t a checkbox, but a lifeline. As 𝐌𝐬. 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚 poignantly stated, “When hospitals speak our language, they heal more than bodies. CRMC truly they heal.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) Region XII, in close partnership with the Cotabato Regional and Medical Center (CRMC), recently concluded the Supervisory Development Course (SDC) Track III for CRMC personnel who had earlier completed Track II last November 3-7, 2025. For many of the participants, this milestone was more than just another requirement—it was an opportunity to grow, reflect, and strengthen their capacity to lead with purpose.

The training was made possible through the support and approval of 𝗖𝗥𝗠𝗖 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗜𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗥. 𝗗𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻, whose dedication to nurturing a competent and empowered workforce continues to guide the institution toward excellence. His encouragement serves as a reminder that investing in people is one of the most effective ways to elevate public service.

Throughout the program, participants took part in engaging discussions and hands-on workshops that helped deepen their understanding of effective supervision. They explored advanced leadership strategies, decision-making skills, team-building practices, and performance management approaches. The sessions also provided practical tools for addressing workplace challenges—such as conflict resolution and fostering clearer, more compassionate communication.

Many participants shared that the training allowed them to better appreciate their roles as supervisors and future leaders. They described the experience as both challenging and inspiring, equipping them with fresh perspectives and renewed confidence to guide their teams with integrity, empathy, and accountability.

The completion of SDC Track III stands as a testament to CRMC’s unwavering commitment to developing leaders who can champion positive change within the institution. With their new skills and insights, the participants are ready to contribute more meaningfully to CRMC’s mission of delivering high-quality and compassionate healthcare to the community.
