Excellence begins with discipline.
JCI Surigao North proudly conducted the JCI Etiquette and Protocol Training for Baby Jaycees and regular members last March 22, 2026 at Palma Resort, Brgy. Lipata, Surigao City, guided by our very own 2026 JCI Philippines Northern Mindanao Regional Skills Development Director and 2026 Local Skills Development Director Raxiey G. Adolfo. More than learning proper decorum, this session instilled the values of respect, professionalism, and leadership—equipping every member to confidently move forward in their #JourneyOfServiceAndPurpose.
As we continue to #SustainTheFuture, JCI Surigao North invest in shaping leaders who will lead with integrity and act with intention. Because in JCI Surigao North, how we serve is just as important as why we serve—and through growth like this, we build a stronger, more impactful community.

Legal Literacy Is Women’s Armor

P.R.O.F.I.L.E (Professional Readiness, Opportunity, and Female Impact in Leadership and Excellence)
March 30, 2026 – JCI Surigao North, in strategic partnership with the Provincial Agrarian Reform Office (PARO) of Surigao del Norte, successfully convened the Pinay Power: Double A (Anti-Bastos and Anti-VAWC) Forum. This collaborative initiative was designed to strengthen the legal literacy and protection of women within our community.
The forum featured speaker – JCI Surigao North member Atty. Vannessa Compasivo-Geli, CPA, Legal Officer of Surigao Norte State University – Main Campus, whose expert discourse focused on two landmark legislations essential to public safety and gender equality:
• Republic Act No. 9262: The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004.
• Republic Act No. 11313: The Safe Spaces Act (Bawal Bastos Law).
By facilitating a deeper understanding of these legal frameworks, JCI Surigao North and DAR Surigao del Norte aim to foster an environment where rights are recognized and dignity is upheld. JCI Surigao North believe that an informed citizenry is the first line of defense against injustice and harassment.
This meaningful initiative was further strengthened by the presence and support of dedicated JCI Surigao North members—Dir. Karen, Dir. Zel, and Paul Khalil—whose commitment to service continues to empower communities and champion women’s rights.
