One House, One Direction

Guided by Pres. Jem and inspired by RVP Junelyn, JCI Surigao North gathers with intention and steps boldly into the new year.

Gathered in Purpose.

JCI Surigao North, led by 2026 LO President Jemima S. Plaza, successfully held its General Membership Meeting last January 18, 2026—bringing together members of the House of the North to align, reflect, and move forward as one organization. The meeting served as a platform to review ongoing initiatives, strengthen collaboration, and reaffirm our shared commitment to leadership and active citizenship. It was made even more meaningful as we were honored by the presence of the 2026 Regional Vice President for JCI Philippines Area V – Northern Mindanao, Junelyn Chavez, whose time, guidance, and leadership further inspired our members in this shared #JourneyOfServiceAndPurpose as she #LEAPwithTheNorth.

As we look ahead to this new year, the General Membership Meeting reinforced our dedication to purposeful action, unity, and sustainable impact. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to RVP Junelyn for her unwavering commitment and continued support to JCI Surigao North, which strengthens our resolve to lead with intention and integrity. Guided by our mission and fueled by collaboration, we remain steadfast in empowering leaders who create positive change and #SustainTheFuture.

Hydration, Heart, and Holiday Spirit

JCI Surigao North brings service and smiles to the RLSB Christmas Fun Run 2025, proving that small acts create lasting impact.

Hydrating the Run, Fueling the Cause

JCI Surigao North proudly took part as the 6th Hydration Station partner during the RLSB Christmas Fun Run 2025 held last December 14, 2025, an initiative of the Provincial Government of Surigao del Norte under the leadership of Governor Robert Lyndon S. Barbers.

Led by 2026 LO President Jemima S. Plaza, JCI Surigao North joined fellow organizations in supporting hundreds of runners as they embraced health, unity, and the true spirit of the season. More than providing hydration along the route, our participation reflects our #JourneyOfServiceAndPurpose—serving the community where it matters most.

Right after the event, the members ensured that the area was cleaned and properly restored before heading home, reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility and respect for shared public spaces. This simple yet meaningful action highlights our dedication to making a positive impact beyond the event itself.

Through initiatives like this, we continue to promote wellness, strengthen partnerships, and #SustainTheFuture through collective action as we #KeepGoingForward.

Our sincere thanks to the organizers; sponsors – special thanks to Engr. Jessie Darryl Eviota for providing potable water; JCI Surigao North members: Iris, Regine, Jolina, Charis and Paul – from the preparation until the early morning event, Novie as representative for every meetings; and every participant who made this event a success.

Together, we continue to create positive and lasting impact for Surigao del Norte.

REFLECTING ON IMPACT, EMBRACING NEW LEADERSHIP.

JCI Surigao North’s November General Membership Meeting was a powerful blend of celebration and transition! 2025 LO President Atty. Krystel Grace L. Calderon-Buniel shared a compelling summary of her term’s projects and accomplishments — all made possible by her dedicated Board of Directors — with impact that touched lives: from community livelihood programs to youth empowerment initiatives that strengthened JCI Surigao North’s social weave. Through it all, we lived by our promise to #KeepGoingForward. As the meeting wrapped up, the symbolic gavel was turned over to 2026 LO President Jemima S. Plaza, who — alongside her new Board of Directors — pledged to continue the cherished “Prime North Star” legacy. We would also like to send our deepest thanks to Mayor Paul Dumlao for his invaluable support and the organization’s endeavors.

With hearts full of gratitude and eyes set on the future, we stand ready to build on the progress we’ve made. As we embark on this new chapter under Pres. Jem’s leadership, we carry forward the spirit that drives our organization — because we keep going forward to the #JourneyOfServiceAndPurpose.
