CMC Leads a Bold Reaffirmation of the SDG Commitment Cards
“What
begins as a simple act today becomes a legacy tomorrow.”
At
Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC), advocacy is not an occasional campaign. It is
a sustained culture. As early adopters of the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), CMC has long stood at the forefront of meaningful
action.
Now,
with renewed purpose, the institution marks a reaffirmation of this ongoing
mission through the strengthened launch of the SDG Commitment Cards, held on
July 14, 2025.
Under
the leadership of Ms. Desiree Gayramara, Coordinator of the Center for
International Affairs and Linkages (CIAL), this milestone is more than a
ceremonial act. It is a bold declaration that CMC remains deeply committed to
shaping responsible, action-driven global citizens.
“This
isn’t starting over. It’s stepping forward, stronger,” said Ms. Gayramara. “We
are reaffirming what we have always stood for: that change is personal, and it
begins with each of us.”
The
initiative, grounded in the call to Commit, Mobilize, and Champion, once again
unites the entire CMC community. From students to staff, faculty to
administrators, everyone shares the mission to live out the SDGs in real,
practical ways. Each Commitment Card is not just a formality. It is a visible,
daily reminder of what it means to be a CMCIan: someone who chooses action over
apathy and responsibility over rhetoric.
“The
SDGs aren’t just global numbers. They’re human values,” Ms. Gayramara added.
“Every signature is a pledge to act, to lead, to care.”
Cards
are now displayed proudly across CMC’s offices, classrooms, student centers,
and institutes. Their presence signals a vibrant movement reborn, a
reaffirmation not only of goals but of identity, purpose, and community.
Each
SDG Commitment Card at CMC represents a personal and collective vow to uphold
all 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It begins with ending poverty and hunger,
and includes promoting health, education, and gender equality. It affirms
dedication to clean water and energy, decent work, and innovation. It calls for
reduced inequalities, sustainable communities, responsible consumption, and
urgent climate action. It defends life on land and below water and demands
peace, justice, and strong partnerships. These cards are more than a gesture.
They are a daily promise to act with purpose and live with impact.
This
moment strengthens CMC’s evolving role as a champion of inclusive education,
environmental responsibility, peacebuilding, and sustainable development. With
every card signed and every goal embraced, CMC reclaims its place as a college
of conscience and impact.
So
if you’re ready to stand for something bigger,
If
you believe education must lead to transformation,
If
you believe action speaks louder than intention,
Choose
CMC.
“From
the classroom to the community, from the personal to the planetary, this is how
we create change.”
