Last March 25, 2026, the Social Work 3B students conducted a seminar entitled “𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲” celebration of Social Work Month.

The seminar highlighted key topics such as the 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 (𝗘-𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗣), the Crisis Intervention Unit, and the 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲, deepening our understanding of how social workers respond in times of crisis and help individuals rebuild their lives.

From shared smiles and meaningful conversations to moments of learning and reflection, 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 💙 became more than just a seminar. It became a space for connection, compassion, and purpose. Every photo tells a story of growth and a shared commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.

Through powerful discussions and genuine interactions, this experience reminded us that social work is not just a profession. It is a calling to serve, uplift, and bring hope where it is needed most.

Indeed, these moments will continue to inspire us to become instruments of healing and peace in our communities. ✨

Last Saturday, March 28, 2026, the 4th-year social work students held their Community Case Study defense at Lourdes College, where they presented the various problems, realities and interventions of their respective assigned districts and municipalities; guided by the partnered field agencies and school field instructors, they successfully defended their case studies, marking a meaningful milestone on their field practicum journey.

Following this achievement, the culmination program of the Field Instruction was held in the afternoon at the Audio-Visual Room (AVR) of Lourdes College; hosted by social work interns Mary Jane Casilao and Ezekiel Monceda, the celebration was filled with excitement and gratitude as it honored the students’ 1000 hours of internship, accomplishments and the journey they had undertaken.

The program formally opened with a message from the Social Work Program Coordinator: Sir Justine Gerald C. Granaderos, RSW. Messages of appreciation were also shared by the interns and guests, expressing their continued support in molding future social workers, their pride and admiration for the students’ perseverance and success. The event concluded with a ‘salo-salo’ held in one of the LC classrooms, where everyone gathered to celebrate through food and fellowship.

Each student’s journey throughout the field practicum has been unique and deeply meaningful despite the challenges and setbacks encountered along the way, the interns remained steadfast, resilient and committed to their purpose as they reach the culmination of their college life, they have demonstrated remarkable growth, personally and professionally.

As they take the next step, the Lourdes College community proudly looks ahead to the future graduates of Batch 2026, aspiring for a 100% passing rate and celebrating future topnotchers in the 2026 Social Work Licensure Examination.
