We are proud to announce that Zylene Rose Olbes, a 4th year BSEd Major in English student and Internal Vice President of PRISM (Passionate and Responsive Individuals for Strategic Internationalization and Sustainable Development in Mindanao), has been officially invited by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to participate in the Stakeholder Consultations on the Just Transition Framework of the Philippines for Mindanao, happening on September 25–26, 2025 in Davao City. Organized by ADB and DENR, this event empowers young leaders to join key discussions on a just, inclusive, and climate-resilient future with voices from labor, government, business, and education sectors shaping the national roadmap toward a low-carbon economy. Representing CMC, Zylene will bring forward youth insights from Mindanao and highlight the vital role of student engagement in sustainable development. This participation is aligned with CMC’s continuing efforts in UI GreenMetric World University Rankings 2025, reflecting our institution’s strong commitment to sustainability, academic diplomacy, and global citizenship through PRISM and CIAL. Congratulations, Zylene! Your leadership and advocacy reflect the voice of Central Mindanao Colleges and the power of youth for a sustainable and inclusive future.
