The Philippine Army Finance Center Producers Integrated Cooperative (PAFCPIC) launched its piggery livelihood program for its adopted community in Sitio Linggawa, Barangay Pidpid, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur, on October 8, 2026. The initiative aims to help beneficiary families establish a supplemental and sustainable source of income through pig breeding and fattening.

The event was attended by the PAFCPIC delegation led by Ms Arlene O. Villaflor, Vice President for Membership Education and Community Services, and SMS Maria Teresa Parcasio, Board of Director. Also, present were representatives of the Barangay Local Government Unit and Municipal Agriculture Office, led by Barangay Chairman Walter A Juldo, and the livelihood beneficiaries headed by Sitio Leader Reynante N Bay-Ongan.

The piggery livelihood program is part of PAFCPIC’s continuing community development in its adopted community of Sitio Linggawa. Through community consultations, residents identified piggery production as a suitable livelihood based on their experience and capabilities. The program focuses on pig breeding and fattening and was developed through planning, coordination with the Municipal Agriculture Office, and procurement of the necessary resources. PAFCPIC allocated ₱538,437.00 for the initial implementation of the program, covering pig pen construction materials, pigs, feeds, and vitamins.

The program was hosted by Sitio Linggawa residents Ms. Jennie Adayan and Ms. Elenia Salay. Residents also performed a traditional courtship presentation accompanied by the gangsa instrument.

In his opening remarks, Barangay Chairman Walter Juldo expressed his appreciation for the cooperative’s continued support for the community. He remarked, “𝘕𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘪 𝘴𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘺𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘈𝘗𝘚𝘐 𝘴𝘢 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘨𝘢𝘸𝘢.

In her message, Ms Arlene O Villaflor, VPMECS of PAFCPIC, urged the beneficiaries to take care of the resources and use them properly and responsibly. She mentioned that “𝘚𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦 𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘨𝘢𝘸𝘢, 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵𝘰. 𝘐𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘬𝘶𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯.

Sitio Leader Reynante N Bay-Ongan thanked PAFCPIC for its assistance and support on their livelihood. He said, “𝘚𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰, 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢 𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯, 𝘣𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘯𝘢 𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘳𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯.

In her closing remarks, Sitio Health Worker Janet N Galangey likewise expressed gratitude for the cooperative’s support and emphasized its potential to improve the community’s livelihood.

For PAFCPIC, the initiative is part of a broader community development approach that integrates infrastructure, essential equipment, capacity building, and livelihood support. Its intended impact extends beyond the initial provision of resources to building the community’s capacity to generate income and sustain its own initiatives. It is a step in a partnership built on consultation, cooperation, and shared responsibility.

The completed facilities are part of Project SAFE (Securing Access, Facilities, and Equipment), a three-year partnership between PAFCPIC and PETHS aimed at improving teaching and learning outcomes by creating a more conducive school environment.

Key representatives from the local government, Department of Education, PAFCPIC, and the school attended the turnover. Present were Dipolog City Mayor Hon Roberto Y Uy; Department of Education Dipolog Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Mr Rosalio B Conturno, Jr, PhD; PAFCPIC President BGEN Fernando S Zabat (Ret); and PETHS School Head Ms Aussie Charity T Calibo.

The Year 2 projects include a Library Building, Clinic and Guidance Building, Science Laboratory, and Teen Center and Secondary Student Leader Government Building, representing approximately PHP 3.8 million in funding support.

The latest turnover builds on PAFCPIC’s continuing engagement with PETHS. The cooperative previously supported the school through a water system project that addressed the school and community’s need for reliable access to water. In July 2025, PAFCPIC formally included PETHS as its adopted school, establishing a three-year partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement and Groundbreaking Ceremony for Project SAFE. Year 1 projects, turned over in March 2026, included a computer laboratory, food processing room, stage, and solar lighting systems.

The turnover was marked by the signing of the Deed of Donation and ceremonial ribbon-cutting, symbolizing the transfer of the completed facilities to the school, and the beginning of the school community’s continued use and stewardship. Adding a cultural dimension to the occasion, PETHS Legacy Dancers performed a traditional dance portraying the Subanen tribe’s way of life.

Mr Rosalio B Conturno, Jr of DepEd Dipolog emphasized the importance of community support in ensuring that children receive the environment they need to learn and grow. He said that “𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 100% 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.

Dipolog City Mayor Roberto Y Uy mentioned the value of continued partnership in education and the importance of perseverance in doing good. The honorable mayor said that “𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 6: 9 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘶𝘴, 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘶𝘱”.

PAFCPIC President BGEN Fernando S Zabat (Ret) highlighted the connection between physical learning spaces and educational outcomes. He mentioned that "𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬.

For PETHS School Head Ms Aussie Charity T Calibo, the new facilities also bring a practical benefit to teachers and learners while easing some of the challenges associated with maintaining school infrastructure. She said that “𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵.

The ceremony demonstrated how a school improvement initiative can become a shared undertaking among institutions, educators, local leaders, learners, and the community. As Year 2 of the partnership moves forward, the buildings turned over are more than structures. They represent spaces where students can read, discover, seek guidance, develop leadership, pursue their interests, and prepare for the future.

With this turnover, PAFCPIC reaffirms that its commitment to education is also a commitment to community. When a community comes together to build better spaces for its learners, it is not simply building facilities, it is helping build the future that those learners will one day shape.

On September 23, 2026, the Community Development Department of the Philippine Army Finance Center Producers Integrated Cooperative (PAFCPIC), together with personnel from PSO Cagayan de Oro and the 8th Infantry “Dependable” Battalion, Philippine Army, conducted a Site Visit and Validation at Bontongon Elementary School–Junior High School Extension in Barangay Bontongon, Impasugong, Bukidnon. The activity was joined by Director Siegfred Tubalado; Norman F. Torres, Community Development Manager; Jairo L. Manalo, Community Development Specialist; Erwilson Dakila, Community Development Coordinator; Louise Donna S. Dela Peña, PSO CDO Manager; LTC Jeorge R. Jallorina INF (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of the 8th Infantry Battalion; Rollen Bautista Sumo-oy, Stakeholder Affairs, Division of Bukidnon; Joey Luranza Sante, Principal of Bontongon Elementary School; Mary Mapandi, Owner of Maryan Construction teachers; and representatives from the Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU).

The activity was conducted to assess and validate the proposed 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗢𝗻𝗲-𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘆, 𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, which aims to support the school’s Junior High School extension as it prepares to accommodate learners advancing to higher grade levels, from Grade 9 to Senior High School.

Bontongon Elementary School was established in 1941, while its Junior High School extension was established in 2024. The school currently serves 145 elementary learners, supported by five teachers. Meanwhile, the Junior High School extension has 79 learners, with seven teachers.
The need for additional classrooms is particularly needed due to the school’s remote location and limited educational facilities. Currently, the school offers education only up to Grade 8, while learners who wish to continue their studies must travel long distances to reach the nearest schools offering higher grade levels. Some students walk for as long as six hours.

The Community Development Department also inspected the proposed site for the two-classroom building and discussed the project requirements with the school, proponent unit, BLGU, and contractor. The discussion covered the suitability of the proposed site, the situation of the children, the current condition of the students, and the documents needed for further assessment. Following the validation, the department requested the necessary documents from the concerned parties for verification and further processing of the project.

The discussion went well and it is evident for the beneficiaries that they are hopeful and looking forward to the implementation of the proposed project because the school building is not only for the teachers but for the brighter future of the children.

On September 21, 2026, a site visit and inspection was conducted at Saint Ignatius of Loyola Chapel, located at the 4th Infantry Division, Philippine Army, Camp Edilberto Evangelista, Barangay Patag, Cagayan de Oro City.

The activity was led by Mr. Norman F. Torres, Community Development Manager with Jairo L. Manalo, Community Development Specialist; Erwilson S. Dakila, Community Development Coordinator of the Philippine Army Finance Center Producers Integrated Cooperative (PAFCPIC), and Ms. Louise Donna S. Dela Peña, PSO CDO Manager. The team met and held discussions with Lieutenant Colonel Jecileto C. Vadilles CHS (PA), Division Chaplain. The visit aimed to assess the chapel’s current condition, verify ongoing renovation works, and coordinate support to ensure completion by the target date.

The chapel serves as a vital spiritual hub for military personnel, their dependents, and over 700 families in the area. The community gathers regularly not only for worship services but also for child baptisms, prayer meetings, and joint activities with other priests and pastors in the locality. At present, the facility is primarily used by the military community. During Sunday morning services are the main weekly gathering while residents from nearby areas also participate. More than 100 church officers support the chapel’s operations and activities.

A major renovation project is currently underway, with a target completion date of December 16, 2026. This work is necessary to prevent further deterioration and ensure the space remains safe, functional, and welcoming. The Chaplain’s Unit oversees cleanliness, maintenance, and related matters and provides monthly progress updates. During the visit, community members expressed hope, faith, and steadfast commitment to seeing the renovation through to success.

This project will significantly enhance the facilities of Saint Ignatius of Loyola Chapel and greatly contribute to the spiritual welfare, morale, and holistic well-being not only of 4ID personnel and their dependents, but also of civilian churchgoers.

Last 26 August 2026, 41 Ka-May-Ari benefited from the PAF-SEE-PIC Eye Health Seminar held at the PAFCPIC Main Office.
Led by the Membership Education and Training Department, in collaboration with the MRB Optical Clinic, the seminar with the theme ““𝒫𝒶𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔𝒾𝓃 𝒶𝓎 𝒶𝓁𝒶𝑔𝒶𝒶𝓃, 𝓉𝓊𝓃𝑔𝑜 𝓈𝒶 𝓂𝒶𝓊𝓃𝓁𝒶𝒹 𝓃𝒶 𝓀𝒾𝓃𝒶𝒷𝓊𝓀𝒶𝓈𝒶𝓃” provided our members with valuable knowledge on proper eye care, common eye diseases: how it develops and how to prevent them, and an overview of different types of lenses that may help support and maintain good eye health.

Following the seminar, our Ka-May-Ari underwent a series of procedure for their eye check-up, as follows: (1) Automated Refraction Eye Test; (2) Eye Check-up; and (3) Eyeglass Prescription and Eyeglass Frame Selection.

As part of the program, the corresponding eye-care kits were distributed to the participating Ka-May-Ari on 10 September 2026.

Through project PAPSEE, PAFCPIC continues to promote not only financial well-being but also the health and overall welfare of its Ka-May-Ari.

For Lamut Central School in Lamut, Ifugao, learning has always extended beyond the four walls of the classroom.

This vision took a significant step forward on September 16, 2026, as Lamut Central School and its partners formally gathered for the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Signing and Groundbreaking Ceremony for Project ALAB (Achieve Limitless Aptitude and Brilliance): An Educational and Cultural Eco-Park.

Moreover, the project is envisioned not only to benefit the learners and personnel of Lamut Central School, but also the wider community through continuous educational, cultural, and environmental activities.

During the ceremony, PAFCPIC President BGen Fernando S. Zabat (Ret.) emphasized,

Meanwhile, Atty. Brix Paul B. Chaguile, Municipal Vice Mayor, highlighted the broader significance of the initiative and the role of PAFCPIC in helping turn the principle of education as a basic right into something tangible for learners.

The development of Project ALAB is envisioned as a collaborative undertaking involving the school administration, SELG, teaching and non-teaching personnel, DepEd offices, the Local Government Unit of Lamut, PAFCPIC, parents, and community stakeholders.

More than the development of an eco-park, Project ALAB represents an effort to create a learning environment where education becomes more connected to the world around the learners. Within the planned space, a tree can become a lesson in responsibility. A garden can become an opportunity to understand sustainability. The natural surroundings can become a setting for science exploration, reading, reflection, collaboration, and appreciation of culture.

As the first steps toward its construction officially begin, Project ALAB carries with it a vision that reaches beyond the completion of a physical structure. It is a vision of a school that continues to create spaces where curiosity is encouraged, culture is appreciated, nature is protected, and learners are given opportunities to discover what they can achieve.

On September 9, 2026, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Signing and Groundbreaking Ceremony was held in Manansa, Mabini, Davao de Oro, marking the start of the 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝟰 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟮 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗶, 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗼

The activity was attended by representatives from PAFCPIC, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Mabini, the Department of Education (DepEd), students, parents, and community members.
The project was recommended by the Municipality of Mabini after identifying the needs of the community. The daycare students in Manansa currently use the health center as their learning space, making the construction of a dedicated daycare center an important project for the children and their families. The installation of solar lights will also help provide better lighting and safety in the community.

In his message, Mayor Emerson Luego shared the importance of seeking partnerships when the resources of the municipality are not enough to address the needs of the community. He said:

“𝘒𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘢𝘺𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘪, 𝘱𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘶𝘬𝘩𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘩𝘪𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪, 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘪 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 '𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯.

Meanwhile, PAFCPIC President BGEN Fernando S. Zabat (Ret) emphasized PAFCPIC’s commitment to reaching communities, especially those in remote areas. He shared:

“𝘕𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘱𝘰 𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘯𝘢 𝘪𝘵𝘰, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘰 𝘪𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘨-𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘭𝘰 𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯.”

The ceremony highlighted the value of partnership and cooperation in bringing needed projects closer to communities. Through the joint efforts of PAFCPIC, the LGU, DepEd, and the community, the project aims to provide the children of Manansa with a better place to learn and contribute to a safer and more developed community.

The project serves as a reminder that distance should not be a barrier to extending support. Through working together, meaningful assistance can reach even the farthest communities and create better opportunities for children and families.

What began with a commitment to provide better learning spaces for the students of Batuan Integrated School has finally become a reality.

In February 2026, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed at Batuan Integrated School, marking the beginning of the construction of a one-unit, two-classroom building that would soon become an important addition to the school’s learning facilities.

The project was made possible through the strong initiative and commitment of the 552nd ECB, 53rd EBde, Philippine Army, under the leadership of LTC Jessie Rose B. Austria, who served as the proponents of the project. Their initiative, together with the support of the Philippine Army Finance Center Producers Integrated Cooperative (PAFCPIC), set the project into motion.
From the signing of the agreement, the construction progressed steadily with the help of Iloilo Grand Emperor Builders Corp. As the structure slowly took shape, what once existed only as a plan on paper gradually became a physical space that would soon welcome students, teachers, and countless opportunities for learning.

Then came August 12, 2026, the day the long-awaited facility was formally turned over to Batuan Integrated School.
But the project did not stop at the construction of the building itself. The newly constructed classrooms were turned over complete with essential classroom furnishings, including blackboards, teachers’ tables, and classroom chairs. It was, in every sense, a complete learning space, ready for teachers to teach, students to learn, and dreams to take root.

The turnover ceremony was attended by various personalities and representatives from different institutions and the partner unit, 552nd ECB, 53rd EBde, Philippine Army.

The occasion was also personally witnessed by the PAFCPIC delegation led by its President, BGen Fernando S. Zabat (Ret.), who travelled from Manila despite the continuing heavy rains brought by the southwest monsoon, or Habagat.

As the new facility officially became part of the school, the ceremony also became an opportunity to reflect on the purpose behind the project, not simply to construct another building, but to create a space where students could learn, grow, and continue pursuing their dreams.

During the ceremony, PAFCPIC President BGen Fernando S. Zabat (Ret.) reminded the students and shared encouragement,
“...𝘴𝘰, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦. 𝘔𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”

Meanwhile, Public Schools Division Superintendent Mr. Andie P. Padernilla, Ed.D. likewise recognized the importance of the partnership and expressed his appreciation for PAFCPIC’s support,
“𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘈𝘍𝘊𝘗𝘐𝘊 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.

The new classrooms now stand as more than just an addition to the school’s physical facilities. They represent hope, partnership, and a commitment to the future, a space where students can learn with greater comfort, teachers can teach more effectively, and dreams can continue to take shape.

What started as a wish has now become a reality.

On August 19, 2026, the Philippine Army Finance Center Producers Integrated Cooperative (PAFCPIC) donated four wheelchairs and two walker rollators to the infirmary of the Daughters of Mary Mother of the Church Institute’s Mater Ecclesiae Formation Center. This generous contribution aims to enhance the quality of life for the elderly sisters residing in the facility, providing them with safer and more comfortable mobility options.

The donation is particularly meaningful for the residents of the infirmary, who rely on caregivers for assistance with their daily activities. With these new mobility aids, the elderly sisters will find it easier to navigate their surroundings, fostering a greater sense of independence and dignity. Caregivers will also benefit from these enhancements, as the aids will make their caregiving tasks less strenuous and more manageable.

This donation follows a successful turnover event in April 2026 that celebrated PAFCPIC's completed construction and renovation projects, which included the building of an 82-linear-meter, 3.12-meter-high reinforced retaining wall, a new infirmary, and extensive renovations to the chapel, enhancing the spiritual environment for the community.

By addressing the mobility needs of the elderly, PAFCPIC not only improves physical access but also promotes mental well-being and fosters a sense of belonging among the residents of the institute.

PAFCPIC’s commitment to serving the elderly reflects a broader dedication to social responsibility and community engagement, setting a positive example for other organizations to follow. With this support, the infirmary can continue to thrive as a sanctuary for the elderly, promoting their health, dignity, and overall well-being.
