In support of the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026) and the nationwide call of the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA), employees, students, and campus stakeholders gathered virtually for the Online Volunteerism Forum titled “IVY2026 at DDOSC: Commemorating 13 Years of Volunteerism on the International Volunteer Year” on June 2, 2026.

The forum aimed to strengthen awareness of volunteerism and recognize its role in promoting sustainable development, community engagement, and civic responsibility within the College and beyond.

During her presentation at the forum, Resource Speaker Ms. Fely M. Baday, Supervising Volunteer Service Officer of the PNVSCA, emphasized that volunteerism allows individuals to build friendships, connect with communities, develop skills, advance careers, and contribute to outcomes such as poverty reduction, increased income, stronger social connections, and safer and more cohesive communities.

Furthermore, Ms. Baday identified poor volunteer management as one of the biggest challenges in volunteerism, citing the lack of coordination, orientation, briefing, support, and guidance as common barriers to effective volunteer engagement.

Reflecting on the College’s growth, Dr. Lilybeth M. Matunhay, SUC President I, shared that volunteerism helped transform the institution into a dynamic hub of innovation and community engagement, resulting in stronger programs, wider partnerships, and more visible impacts.

“Volunteerism became more than a responsibility; it became a way of life, and we learned that meaningful community engagement is not measured by how much funding is available but by how willing we are to listen, collaborate, and serve," she said.

Additionally, the forum featured the Volunteerism Highlight Video-Making Competition for employees, student publications, and students, providing participants an opportunity to showcase and reflect on the practice and value of volunteerism in the College through the years.

God’s grace isn't a puzzle we have to decode with human logic. It’s a gift meant to be experienced.

All the things that can be seen reflects our temporary desires. It is because our earthly wisdom can only see the surface, but God’s Spirit reveals the beautiful depths of His love and grace.

Sometimes we ask God to remove every problem immediately, but often He first gives us strength to continue.

Just like the disciples, we may not always understand everything right away, but Jesus reminds us that we are never abandoned.

Pride and discipline filled the Davao de Oro State College (DdOSC) - Main Campus on May 14, 2026 as the Criminology Department conducted its annual Pinning and Culmination Ceremony for "Sindasig Batch 2026."

The event, themed "Anchored in Passion, Driven by Service: Shaping the Future of Public Safety," marked the completion of 104 fourth-year criminologists on their 200-hour on-the-job internship training.

Addressing the interns and their families, PCPT Jimmy S. Quiacusan, Deputy Chief of Police for Administration at the Compostela Police Station, framed the internship as a "greater journey toward becoming responsible individuals in law enforcement."

"True public service is not measured solely by authority," PCPT Quiacusan stated. "It is measured by compassion, integrity, humility, and respect for human dignity. Always remember that [what you wear] symbolizes trust, accountability, and service."

The sentiment of "service over power" was a recurring theme throughout the program as College President Dr. Lilybeth M. Matunhay urged the interns to look beyond the badge and focus on the person wearing it.

"Real service is not about power; it is about responsibility, strength, and most of all, humanity. Society does not only need enforcers of the law. It needs people worthy of the trust of the public," Dr. Matunhay remarked.

Meanwhile, Dr. GloryJean C. Altamera, Vice President for Academic Affairs, challenged the future law enforcers to become morally grounded public servants amidst the issues that are currently happening in the country.

"We aspire that you would become part of that new generation of law enforcers who will serve not just for power or recognition, but for the protection of truth, peace, and welfare of the Filipino people," Dr. Altamera pronounced.

"Choose integrity over convenience, service over self-interest, accountability over silence," she added.

For many relatives, the ceremony was a long-awaited recognition of years of sacrifice.

"I feel proud for the 4th-year criminology students because all their hard work has finally paid off. Although dili pani ang final na final jud, they're one step closer to getting their dreams," said Keith Nicole Surigao, a relative witnessing the event.

As the "Sindasig" interns begin their duties, they step out not just as students, but as the next generation of principled defenders of the law.
