Alumni Endeavors and Initiatives

What a blessed Monday! Here we are, starting the week with good vibes. Some of our beloved alumni and Student Liason Officer, Ms. Daishel Balsomo pooled together resources to donate face shields and face masks to JBLFMU maintenance and security personnel and staff. Today, these donations were endorsed to the Office of The CEO. Thank you to all of you! Salamat sa pagulikid sa inyo alma mater. We salute you!

2/M KRIS PANERIO

One of our alumni, now onboard a vessel travelling COVID-19 high risk areas, is making a plea. "We can't go home. We can't go ashore. Please stay at home. Our families need us home." Let us listen. PLEASE STAY AT HOME. Let us help flatten the curve.

In this time of need, doing a good deed will render a lot of good deeds. Twenty-three 23 stranded cadets from all over the country already received financial aid from the One Lacsonian in collaboration with the JBLFMU-IMA Alumni Association Manila Chapter. Deck OIC Dainielle Roel Secapuri with D/C Vincent Vecendario of the One Lacsonian campaigned for donations from their fellow alumn and colleagues onboard who are non-alumni i and have since sent aid to recipients. The Alumni Association led by Capt. Vicente Fedelicio and its Manila chapter led by Capt. Relly Jose are currently monitoring the situation and are encouraging Lacsonians to extend help to be able to support our cadets who are now struggling to stay afloat amidst the ECQ all over the country particularly in Manila. Thank you very much to the donors, who have felt the need and helped as shown in the poster. More recipients are expected to receive aid in the coming days. May we, together as Lacsonians, unite for our community, to also Heal as One.

The JBLFMU/IMA Alumni Association as part of the Grand Alumni Homecoming with the Community Extension Services (CES) once again gave gifts with the lolos and lolas of Asilo de Molo early this morning.

At the Moment. The JBLFMU-IMA Alumni Association turns over their donations to the MV Capt. John B Lacson currently docked at Muelle Loney, Iloilo City.

Testimonies from Alumni Scholars

To all Alumni Association Members, Officers and JBLFMU Alumni Staff:

I thank you all for your generous, financial support towards my higher education. Through this scholarship, I was able to concentrate on what is important to me, EDUCATION. Your financial generosity has allowed me to be one step closer to my goal and enabled me to graduate with flying colors and on top of my class. To everyone, “Madamo Gid Nga Salamat” and God Bless Us all!

This is my opportunity to give my warmest gratitude of how thankful I am to all of you.

To the Officers of the association thank you for choosing me as one of your scholar for the 13th batch. I am very privileged to avail this scholarship program of the association. This really helped me and most importantly my parents in terms of financial aspects.

To the alumni members, I am thankful to each one of you because without your support through your renewal and membership fee this scholarship program will not be a productive and fruitful one. You helped a lot of poor but deserving students of your Alma Mater. And to the staffs, especially Mrs. Ma. Liza M. Mendez, who facilitates and coordinates with the scholarship program, thank you very much.Continue to help and support students to be able for them to reach their goals.

I salute all of you. To God be the glory!

First of all, I want to thank our God for blessing me to be one of the alumni scholars.

I want to thank all those people comprising the Alumni Association, to all diligent members, whom through them I was able to finish my Marine Engineering course and to all ingenious officers who keep supporting us.

To Mrs. Ma. Liza M. Mendez and Mrs. Leah Joy F. Maguad, thank you for encouraging me to become a better person and for making me part of the Alumni family.

I’m so blessed that this message can’t justify how thankful I am. God bless everyone and keep supporting the Alumni Association. With your help, you’re aiding many deserving students to reach their goals.

From the bottom of my heart, a million thanks to all Alumni family.

The staffs, the officers, Ma’am Ma. Liza M. Mendez and most especially, Capt. Virgilio Villagracia, for the huge opportunity that you have given me as being one of your alumni Scholar (13th Batch).

For me, this was the most achieved and very kind treatment I ever received. And through the financial support that you have given me I was able to reach my goal and my dream as a product and graduate of this prestigious institution.

Lastly, to the upcoming Alumni scholars, treasure the good opportunity that will come to you, because the good opportunity seldom comes to our life. So, use it wisely and in a good way.

Once again, thank you Alumni family for the unending support.
