CMC NSTP Undergoes Validation for Outstanding Health Promotion Program

Central Mindanao Colleges underwent the Outstanding Health Promotion Integrated NSTP Program for Academic Year (A.Y.) 2025–2026 Validation, bringing its National Service Training Program’s health promotion initiatives under onsite assessment by Department of Health (DOH) evaluators.

The validation focused on the implementation and documentation of CMC’s health promotion efforts through NSTP, providing evaluators an opportunity to examine how the program translates health advocacy, student participation, and community-oriented service into meaningful initiatives.

Mr. Mark Rey A. Ampuan, LPT, CSA/NSTP Coordinator, led the CMC NSTP team during the validation, presenting the program’s implementation and supporting documents for review. His coordination helped provide the evaluators with a comprehensive view of the program’s activities and efforts throughout S.Y. 2025–2026.

The activity also featured Dr. Cynthia Asuncion during the opening segment, while Mr. Arjohn C. Gangoso, RN, MPH, MNE, HEPO III, delivered the statement of purpose, emphasizing the significance of the validation in assessing the NSTP program’s health promotion initiatives.

During the onsite validation, DOH evaluators and the NSTP team reviewed relevant documents, assessed the program’s implementation, and exchanged observations and recommendations. Beyond compliance and documentation, the process highlighted NSTP’s role in developing students who connect learning with civic responsibility and community engagement while promoting the health and well-being of their communities.

The validation likewise reflects CMC’s commitment to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 on Good Health and Well-Being through health promotion and awareness. It also supports SDG 4 on Quality Education through student learning, SDG 10 on Reduced Inequalities through inclusive health initiatives, and SDG 17 on Partnerships for the Goals through collaboration with health and community stakeholders.

As the validation concluded with feedback and a photo opportunity involving the evaluators, NSTP team, and participants, CMC reaffirmed its continuing commitment to strengthening health promotion as an integral part of student formation and community service.
