Shaping The Future

As another remarkable academic year comes to a close, we take a moment to reflect on the many milestones and memories that have shaped School Year 2024–2025 into a meaningful journey for our Marian learners.

The year culminated in the much-anticipated 2025 Commencement Exercises, a celebration of perseverance, growth, and promise. Participated in by our Kinder, Grade 6, Grade 10, and Grade 12 students across all three campuses, the ceremonies marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of countless new ones.

We were deeply honored to welcome two distinguished Marymount Academy alumni as Guests of Honor, whose stories and words of wisdom lit the path ahead for our graduates:

Judge Jehan B. Sampao-Hassiman (Class of 1994)

A trailblazer in Philippine jurisprudence, Judge Hassiman currently serves as Presiding Judge of Branch 11, Family Court in Pasay City. She holds the distinction of being the first Muslim woman judge in the National Capital Region and a pioneer of the Statutory Family Courts. Her inspiring career began with meaningful service in the Department of Agrarian Reform and the Supreme Court's Program Management Office.

Mr. Philip V. Tangpos (Class of 2018)

A Certified Public Accountant and Certified Tax Technician, Mr. Tangpos now serves as a Senior Audit Associate at Reyes Tacandong & Co., one of the country's top accounting firms. Leading audit engagements and mentoring younger professionals, he reminded our graduates that excellence begins with discipline, humility, and lifelong learning.

Our hearts were also moved by the powerful messages delivered by the Valedictorians of the graduating batches from each campus:

💬 Amber Chanel B. Cuntapay, of the BF Homes campus, offered a heartfelt reflection on the lessons learned through rejection and resilience.

“The real world will humble you, but that’s the beauty of it… Grieve, accept, stand, and move on to something that is meant for you.”

💬 John Cedric S. Dela Cruz, of the Better Living campus, reminded us that Marymount Academy is more than a school—it is a sanctuary for character formation, spiritual grounding, and the development of responsible leadership.

“I was shaped not just in mind, but also in spirit and heart… Marymount became a space where personal values and academic growth went hand in hand.”

💬 Pocholo Ian Mallari, of the San Antonio campus, reminded his fellow graduates that the journey is just beginning, and no matter the path they take, the values of Wisdom, Charity, and Obedience will remain their compass.

“Graduation may seem like an end, but in truth, it is just the beginning.”

To all our graduates, we extend our warmest congratulations. May your accomplishments inspire others, and may your futures be filled with purpose and promise.

Thank you, dear parents, teachers, and partners, for walking alongside our students every step of the way. Your support has been vital in nurturing their growth, and together, we continue to shape tomorrow’s leaders.

Here’s to closing a meaningful year—and to the journeys that await!
