Early this morning, over 100 students of the MHAM College of Medical Technology took part in a meaningful mangrove planting activity at South Road Properties in collaboration with Cebu City ENRO l Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office.

Our students planted Avicennia species—mangroves known for their resilience and ability to thrive despite harsh environmental conditions such as high salinity, unstable soil, and coastal exposure. In an area challenged by visible waste and environmental stress, this effort serves as a small but significant step toward restoration.

Beyond environmental impact, the activity provided students with a deeper appreciation of ecological responsibility, teamwork, and the vital role of healthcare professionals in community and environmental stewardship.

We extend our sincere thanks to Roy Aporbo, CES Coordinator, for facilitating this collaboration and making this initiative possible. Together, we continue to grow not just as future professionals, but as stewards of our environment. 🌱

Over the course of one week, the clinic addressed a wide range of dental cases, providing essential oral healthcare services to the community.

We are proud of our MHAM College of Nursing students who served as dental assistants during last week’s clinic.

Through hands-on experience, they demonstrated professionalism, teamwork, and compassion in supporting both patients and the dental team. Beyond clinical learning, the experience also provided an opportunity to build meaningful connections and foster a strong sense of community among peers.

Big thanks to our partner, Rise Above Foundation Cebu for this meaningful opportunity. Our students made a lot of friends with the dental students from University of the Pacific, USA! 🇺🇸

The free dental clinic in partnership with Rise Above Foundation Cebu and the volunteer dental team from University of the Pacific 🇺🇸 continues to make a meaningful difference—serving approximately 100 patients each day.

With the dedicated support of our MHAM College of Nursing students, this initiative remains a powerful blend of service and learning, as they assist an international team in delivering quality oral healthcare to the community.

MHAM successfully partnered with Rise Above Foundation for a free dental clinic at Guadalupe Elementary School with a volunteer dental team from University of the Pacific, USA. 🇺🇸

This initiative not only delivered essential oral healthcare services to the community, but also provided our MHAM College of Nursing students with a rare and enriching opportunity to engage in hands-on learning alongside an international team of professionals. Through this experience, students gained deeper clinical insight, cultural competence, and a broader perspective on collaborative healthcare delivery.

A meaningful convergence of service, learning, and global partnership—raising the standard of compassionate, community-centered care.

Last Friday, MHAM formally signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Cebu City PWD Youth Federation — marking a meaningful step toward more inclusive, community-driven initiatives in the city.

This partnership opens doors for programs specifically designed to empower Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), especially the youth sector. Through this collaboration, we aim to:

• Create inclusive health, wellness, and educational initiatives
• Expand outreach efforts across Cebu City
• Provide volunteer and engagement opportunities for our students and faculty
• Strengthen advocacy for accessibility and equal participation

By working directly with the Federation, we ensure that our programs are not only for the community — but built with the community.

This MOA strengthens our reach in the city and reinforces our commitment to inclusive development, representation, and meaningful impact.
