In what seems to be a rare event, the assemblage of writing pads for the new chairs at John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Arevalo), Inc., was more than just a logistical task; it was a heartwarming moment that highlighted the unity, care, and dedication of employees bestowed upon their students.
Last July 30, department heads, faculty, and staff flocked in the university gymnasium to assemble the recently purchased 1,240 new monoblock armed chairs.
This initiative was spearheaded by the newly-appointed Administrator, Mr. Robert O. Parcia, MSMM, whose aim is to create a "transformative learning environment" for students.
Mr. Parcia pointed out that the white uniforms worn by students often become soiled due to rust from the old steel chairs, hence, providing greater comfort and flexibility.
Moreover, he noted that disciplined students tend to organize their chairs neatly before leaving, preparing the classroom for the next class.
Upon his appointment, Mr. Parcia quickly recognized a pressing need for adequate seating solutions—drawing from his previous administration at JBLFMU-Molo, where a similar change was successfully implemented five years ago.
“I am confident that students prefer these new chairs better than the previous ones,” he stated, as a unique aspect of this project was the emphasis on camaraderie among the employees.
The newly assigned administrator highlighted the significance of teamwork in the assembly process, stating, “Team members’ cooperation is a crucial ingredient to achieve goals."
This simple act demonstrates the dedication of the employees so students can focus on their studies without the distractions of discomfort and inconvenience.
