MSEUF Communication Society promotes wellness through skincare seminar
The MSEUF Communication Society hosted “Bongga Ka Day!: Skin as a Mirror of Our Health” on Nov. 7, at the AEC Little Theater to help students and faculty understand skincare as an essential part of personal health and overall well-being.
Organized by second- and third-year communication students, the seminar aimed to break the stigma surrounding skincare and promote better awareness of the connection between skin hygiene, confidence and personal wellness.
Ten society members managed the in-campus project, which featured speakers from the medical and aesthetic fields.
The seminar provided practical discussions on skincare routines, scalp health and the safe use of skincare products. Organizers said the activity encouraged participants to view skincare not as vanity but as a responsible health practice.
Attendees, including university faculty members and students, gained a better understanding of personal hygiene and expressed increased confidence in maintaining healthy self-care habits.
Society President Randell Randy Roperez led the project under the supervision of faculty advisers Alexandra Jaballa-Bolusan and Maridel Mangaron.
A post-event assessment cited strong student turnout and the seminar’s timely and relatable topic as major strengths. It also identified areas for improvement, including clearer internal communication, stronger task delegation, preparation for technical concerns and better planning for budget limitations.
Moving forward, the MSEUF Communication Society plans to pursue partnerships with professional clinics and expand health awareness initiatives across other university departments.
The activity supported Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation’s commitment to student-centered learning and leadership development by allowing communication students to plan, manage and evaluate a meaningful campus wellness project. It reflected the University’s core values of Mindfulness, Service, Excellence and Unity by promoting health awareness, collaboration and responsible self-care among students and faculty.
