YLEA 2026 Implementation

💜 Celebrating the next generation of leaders.

As part of the G.LEAD Program of JCI WoMandaue, the 2026 Youth Leadership Excellence Award (YLEA), a JCI National Program, was successfully implemented last June 1, 2026, at Bagong Pilipinas, our venue partner.

The program recognized and celebrated 85 youth leaders from 22 public schools in Mandaue City through the support and collaboration of the Department of Education – Mandaue City Division.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Bianito A. Dagatan, EdD, CESO V, Schools Division Superintendent; Mr. Mark Carlo Seno, Senior Education Program Specialist for the Human Resource Development Unit; and Mr. Kevin Maringuran, Youth Formation Division Focal Person, for their unwavering support and commitment to youth leadership development.

Prior to the awarding ceremony, a leadership session entitled “Lead Now: Realign, Reset & Renew” was conducted last April 30 by 2026 JCI WoMandaue President Glaiza Ilagan in partnership with UC Cares Banilad, inspiring student leaders from public schools across Mandaue City to lead with purpose, resilience, and impact.

JCI WoMandaue successfully conducted From Desk to Dinner, a masterclass designed to help modern working women elevate their personal style and confidence through practical makeup and styling techniques.

Held at SM J Mall Atrium, the event brought together inspiring women eager to learn how to transition seamlessly from professional settings to evening engagements while embracing their unique beauty and presence.

A heartfelt thank you to our expert speakers, Josei Ouano Cuizon and Kian Valencia, for sharing valuable insights, beauty tips, and style secrets that empowered participants to put their best foot forward.

Together, we continue to create spaces where women can grow, learn, and thrive with confidence and grace.
