The year began with clarity and conviction as Abuyog Community College convened its first faculty meeting of 2026 at the Business Incubation Facility, today January 5.

Anchored on the guiding message of College President Dr. Clemelle L. Montallana, the meeting emphasized a shared mission: to ensure that every initiative, every policy, and every effort is rooted in service to the school, the students, and the wider community.

The gathering opened with a comprehensive year-end report highlighting ACC 2025—a year marked by resilience, growth, and collaboration.

From academic milestones to student-centered programs, community engagements and external linkages the report reflected how coordinators, faculty, and students worked hand in hand to sustain excellence and relevance in a rapidly changing educational landscape.

As the meeting concluded, one message resonated clearly: this is a work in progress. The accomplishments of 2025 serve not as endpoints but as foundations for deeper impact in 2026.

The call is to move forward with intention and to ensure that every program creates value for stakeholders and every effort contributes to shared progress.

With unity, faith, and dedication, Abuyog Community College steps into 2026 ready to serve, lead, and inspire together.
