Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation conducted its second career marketing event and orientation in Mauban on Jan. 30, 2026, at the Mauban Municipal Gymnasium, continuing its outreach to students, parents, and educators from public schools across the municipality.

Participating schools came from both the North and South Districts of Mauban, with Grade 10 students as the primary participants, accompanied by their parents and faculty-in-charge. The activity focused on promoting the Senior High School offerings of the University’s Basic Education Department (BED) based in Lucena City.

The career marketing also paved the way for further introducing the soon-to-open Enverga University Mauban Extension, which will offer Junior High School, Senior High School, and selected college programs, strengthening access to quality education for learners in Mauban and nearby towns.

Welcome remarks were delivered by Celso D. Jaballa, vice president for external relations, who highlighted the University’s sustained efforts to guide students in making informed academic choices. Reina V. Pasumbal, principal of the Basic Education Department, followed with a discussion on the academic tracks and learning opportunities available under Enverga University’s Senior High School program.

An overview of the Mauban Extension was presented by Dr. Amelita Balagtas, coordinator for affiliate schools, outlining the campus vision, program offerings, and plans for future growth. The session The Enverga Advantage: Why MSEUF Works for You was delivered by Dr. Claudia Odette Ayala, assistant to the vice president for academics and research and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, emphasizing student-centered learning, outcomes-oriented education, and holistic development.

Scholarships and student support services were discussed by Maria Isabel Granada, director of the Office of Scholarships, Endowment, Job Placement, and Alumni Relations. Admission and enrollment procedures, including the planned open house and campus tour for BED, were explained by Sherrie Ann Gayeta, basic education admissions officer.

The program was hosted by John Kristoffer Tibor of the College of Arts and Sciences and Anthony Ramos of the Basic Education Department, a proud Maubanin. An intermission performance by the Basic Education Dance Troupe showcased the talents of Enverga’s students and added energy to the event.

The activity was organized by the Institutional Marketing and Promotions Office, headed by Mark Gaylord Genovaña, in coordination with various academic and administrative units. Also present were Leah Salas, corporate planning and development officer, and Arby Lagman, director of the Sustainability Department, highlighting the University’s unified support for outreach and community engagement.

The program concluded with a closing message from Atty. Buenaventura Quiling, a University trustee and proud Maubanin, encouraged students and parents to consider Enverga University as a long-term partner in education and personal growth.
