The Marinduque State College family would like to greet our teacher-scholars from MiMaRoPa happy teachers month! September 5 to October 5 is dedicated for teachers and educators. September is also for our Lingkod Bayani, the frontliners in the government service. Despite the ongoing worldwide pandemic, there is still the climate crisis and we need to comeback to the sustainable folkways of our ancestors.
We salute our academic frontliners, our teachers and educators! We are in the forefront of the Covid19 pandemic and the climate emergency, hence the theme for the Cultural Education 204: Issues in Cultural Education web symposium is fitting and timely. The CulEd 204 class of Mimaropa Teacher-Scholars chose, “The Two Faces of the Coin: The Environmental and Social Role in Culture-based Education” for the web symposium to encapsulate the level 2 Graduate Diploma in Cultural Education class.
We also give honor to the newly formed, HEarth Movement, a youth-serving organization in our very own province of Marinduque gearing towards environmental protection and conservation, and youth-participatory approaches among its people. Likewise, we also share the Balay Sibuyanon’s mission to instill love for the environment and its people, the Sibuyan island in Romblon’s organization aims to build a sense of awareness and initiative in developing the current state of the society and the environment.
With the same vein, Hearth Movement has three primary pillars, the Organization’s philosophy as a Center of Youth and Societal Development, and Sustainable Environment advocates which focuses on addressing issues and problems and formulate solutions for the betterment of the people, society, and environment.
We long for a monument of hope and love for the people, society, and environment. We at MSC also advocate what the HEarth Movement and Balay Sibuyanon advocate; a better pandemic future for our province and beyond.
Starting this November, we kickstart the countdown activities for the 70th MSC Founding Anniversary. MSC will also have Christmas in our Hearts Outreach. By next year, we will launch the MSC station ID and have a benefit concert spearheaded by the Culture and Arts. MSC would also be launching the MSC museum and icons. Please keep up with our official social media accounts for the most recent updates.
Again, our appreciation to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Philippine Cultural Education Program and the Graduate Diploma in Cultural Education. As an old Indonesian adage say, our seas, islands and the environment, our future. Please continue to take care of our environment and culture!
Marinduque State College today, Marinduque State University Tomorrow!
