Clear Direction, Safer Communities: JCI Surigao North’s Road Signage Project | April 1, 2026
Clear directions save lives—and JCI Surigao North takes a step forward in building a safer, more prepared community. Through the installation of road signages in key areas across Surigao City, we reinforce the importance of visibility, accessibility, and timely information—essential elements in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM).
Prior to the installation, the dedicated BOD members conducted a courtesy call to Barangay Poctoy, Surigao City led by Brgy Captain Hon. Josephine Patan, fostering collaboration and ensuring community alignment for the initiative. Aligned with the mission of JCI to develop young leaders to create positive change, this project reflects our commitment to community development, leadership in action, and sustainable impact.
Spearheaded by our 2026 Director for Government Affairs, Rjan Mark Canoy, together with 2026 Vice President for Community Charis May Guerra, 2026 Vice President for Business Kizelle Kate Tokong – Canoy and 2026 Local Awards Chair Shepheionn Carutcho, this initiative embodies our vision of creating lasting solutions that empower communities and enhance public safety. Together, we continue to lead with purpose—because every direction we set today shapes a safer tomorrow.

Through our “Alon and Gupit” initiative, in handing the shears to cut through barriers, we didn’t just provide free haircut services—we provided a platform for skill-sharing and livelihood training. By equipping the women elders and young women with haircutting skills, we are fostering self-reliance and confidence that ripples through the entire community. A fresh look, a new skill, and a stronger sisterhood.

Juana-Preneur: Bridging The Gap from Legal to Livelihood | March 27, 2026
True empowerment isn’t just about providing opportunities—it’s about providing the legal and financial foundations to sustain them. On March 9, 2026, JCI Surigao North continued its commitment to PINAY POWER by diving deep into the heart of women’s entrepreneurship. In a powerful collaboration with DSWD Caraga and the CSWDO Surigao City, we engaged with the resilient women members of various DSWD-accredited Sustainable Livelihood Programs (SLP). Led by our Local Communications Director, Atty. Princess Jezrael Frondozo, the session moved beyond theory into practical, life-changing dialogue.
The discussion focused on: – The Magna Carta of Women: Understanding how this landmark legislation protects and promotes women within Sustainable Livelihood Programs. – Conflict Resolution: A dedicated consultation on legal remedies for internal organizational conflicts, ensuring that sisterhood and professional cooperation remain intact – Financial Literacy & Transparency: Strengthening the backbone of every association by promoting honest, clear, and effective financial management. Building Sustainable Futures.
For JCI Surigao North, supporting women entrepreneurs means ensuring they have the tools to protect their rights and manage their organizations with confidence. When our local associations are legally sound and financially literate, they don’t just survive—they thrive. We are honored to walk alongside these women as they build better lives for their families and a stronger Surigao City.

JCI Surigao North, led by 2026 LO President Jemima Plaza, believes that true leadership is rooted in understanding, and that meaningful progress is fueled by informed action. Project LEXIS is a comprehensive Leadership, Legal Literacy, and Cross-sectional Socio-Civic Outreach Series designed to bridge the gap between legal empowerment and grassroots service. The program is spearheaded by 2026 Vice President for Community, Charis May Guerra, together with 2026 Local Communications Director Atty. Princess Jezrael Frondozo and 2026 Local Skills Development Director Raxiey G. Adolfo. The initiative officially launched on March 3, 2026 through a meaningful partnership with the faculty of MAT-I National High School and the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) Surigao City.
The maiden activity featured an engaging lecture for Senior High School students focusing on the Safe Spaces Act (Republic Act No. 11313), equipping learners with essential knowledge on promoting respect, accountability, and safety in both physical and digital spaces. In today’s rapidly evolving digital era, where information and technology continue to advance, awareness of laws that protect individuals from harassment and abuse is more critical than ever. By strengthening legal literacy and fostering leadership among the youth, this initiative aims to cultivate a culture of responsibility, respect, and protection within our communities.
Through Project LEXIS, JCI Surigao North continues its commitment to empowering individuals with knowledge, leadership, and civic responsibility—helping build a Surigao that is not only well-led, but also well-informed. Join us as we embark on this journey of education, empowerment, and community impact.
