On November 21, the Trinity University of Asia community gathered at the SATS Chapel and stepped into the streets with one clear message: “Lahat ng sangkot, dapat managot.”

Students, faculty, staff, and church leaders walked together carrying the weight of what everyone already knows: ang korapsyon ay hindi usaping hiwalay sa atin, ito ang kumakain sa kakayahan ng bayan na mabuhay nang maayos. It reaches our homes, our paychecks, our healthcare, our daily choices.

From the chapel grounds, the community moved along E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue. In front of the National Children’s Hospital, ���Ҵ�ý and the Episcopal Church in the Philippines met with the health sector, nurses, workers, and advocates who face the consequences of corruption inside hospitals and clinics. Their presence made the moment honest. May mga pasyente, pamilya, at manggagawa na direktang tinatamaan ng mga pagkukulang na pinipili ng ilan.

The walk ended at the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. John. The Prime Bishop spoke about conscience and the responsibility to act when something is clearly wrong. Nurse Alyn Andamo of Filipino Nurses United voiced what many feel but seldom say out loud: that systems fail because people in power choose themselves over the public they are meant to serve.

This gathering was not driven by anger alone. It was driven by clarity.
By the understanding that silence shapes the future as much as action.
By the belief that caring is not passive. Ito ay may bigat, may pananagutan, may direksiyon.

���Ҵ�ý, the Church, and the health sector stood together to say what must be said, and to do what must be done.
Not out of pride.
Not for show.
But because our integrity, our people, and our country deserve nothing less.

The Memorandum of Agreement between Trinity University of Asia (���Ҵ�ý) and thewas signed on October 9, 2025, at the AIM campus in Makati City. The partnership establishes the Executive Leadership Development Program (ELDP), a collaboration grounded on a belief that leadership must keep learning.

Developed by AIM’s School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning (SEELL), the six-day program brings together ���Ҵ�ý’s executives and academic heads to pause, examine, and strengthen the way leadership is practiced across the University. The sessions will open space for reflection on strategy, innovation, and people development, while also asking what kind of presence a leader must bring into their community.

During the ceremony, ���Ҵ�ý President Dr. Gisela D.A. Luna reflected on the shared task before both institutions and that for ���Ҵ�ý, leadership has always been a form of stewardship, an act of guidance that remains mindful of its human core.

The contract was signed by Dr. Gisela D.A. Luna, University President of ���Ҵ�ý, and Dr. Jikyeong Kang, President of AIM. They were joined by Prof. Ivy Rose Samson, Program Director at AIM, and Ms. Matilde Asuncion, Vice President for Administration and Finance of ���Ҵ�ý. The signing was witnessed by Mr. Jeremy John A. Pintor, Executive Director of AIM–School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning.

Also present at the ceremony were members of the ���Ҵ�ý Management Committee: VP for Academic Affairs Dr. Mark Francisco, VP for Sustainable Partnerships and Lifelong Learning Dr. Howell Ho, AVP for Administration Mr. Michael Santiago, Human Resources Management Office Director Mr. Jose Lino Sarmiento, Digital Marketing Unit Manager Mr. Gil Mariano Razon, and Trilink Officer Dr. Fernando Trinidad III.

In an interview during the ceremony, Dr. Luna described the partnership as “in a sense, historical,” seeing in it a call for leadership that listens before it decides, and builds before it claims.

“This is a path toward leadership that is more people-centered and student-centered, so that they learn the word care, and that empowers our students to care.”

For ���Ҵ�ý, this partnership is a continuation of a long-standing pursuit: to lead through understanding and formation that uplifts. It is leadership that begins with awareness, of people, of learning, and of the communities we serve.
