The 11th batch of the SPFI International Education Program gathered today for a send-off Mass at the Oratory of the Queen of Apostles College Seminary, as the students prepare for their educational journey to Taiwan.

The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by SPFI Executive Director Rev. Fr. Raymund D. Bagohin and was attended by the participating students, their parents, and SPFI community.

The SPFI International Education Program is carried out in collaboration with the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo–Scalabrinians (MSCS) and Minghsin University of Science and Technology (MUST), Taiwan. The MSCS and MUST established their overseas educational partnership in June 2018, supporting Filipino students through a study-and-work program.

For the 11th batch, today's celebration served as a moment of prayer, thanksgiving, and blessing before embarking on a new chapter of education and international experience.

With their families and the SPFI community gathered in support, the students now look ahead to the opportunities and challenges that await them in Taiwan.

May faith guide your journey, and may your pursuit of knowledge open doors to a brighter future. Padayon, 11th Batch! 🇵🇭🇹🇼

To begin the month in prayer and reflection, our SPFI family gathered for our First Friday Mass, reaffirming our commitment to place Christ at the center of our life and mission.

The Holy Eucharist was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Mcwellroe P. Bringas, whose homily invited everyone to reflect on the choices that bring us closer to God, the crosses we are called to carry with faith, and the daily commitment of following Christ.

Through the celebration of the Eucharist, we continue to find strength and inspiration to live out our mission with compassion, humility, and faithful service.

Gisugdan pinaagi sa Balaan nga Misa ang Spes Pauperum Foundation- SPFI Microfinance NGO, Inc. Center Coordinators Meeting nga malampusong gipahigayon karong adlawa sa Pantukan Branch, ang unang sangang gitukod diin nagsugod ang misyon niini niadtong Hunyo 1998.

Human sa Misa, gisundan kini sa panagtigom diin gipahibalo ang mga bag-ong kalamboan, programa, ug mga polisiya. Nahatagan usab og higayon ang mga Center Coordinators sa pagpangutana, pagpaambit sa ilang mga kasinatian, ug paghisgot sa mga paagi aron mas mapalig-on ang koordinasyon ug mapauswag pa ang pag-alagad sa mga miyembro.

Miatubang sa maong kalihokan si Rev. Fr. Raymund D. Bagohin, MAPM, Executive Director sa SPFI-BanKDeP, ug si Ms. Resa Ricafort, Pantukan Branch Head, aron makig-uban sa mga Center Coordinators ug mapalig-on ang panaghiusa sa pagpadayon sa atong misyon.

Ang pagpahigayon sa maong panagtigom sa Pantukan Branch adunay espesyal nga kahulogan tungod kay dinhi nagsugod ang sa SPFI. Usa kini ka pagpamatuod sa padayon nga paningkamot sa pagserbisyo sa mga komunidad pinaagi sa pagtinabangay, maayong pangdumala, ug matinud-anong pag-alagad.
