Mindanao Mission Academy Image not found or type unknown Mindanao Mission Academy MARIBEL L. HONOR, JESREEL MERCADER, AND MARCHIE MERCADER Maribel L. Honor Jesreel Mercader Marchie Mercader Mindanao Mission Academy (MMA) is a private secondary institution operated by the North-Central Mindanao Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Established on July 14, 1947, it is the oldest Adventist high school in the Southern Philippines, and the fifth-oldest in the entire Philippines.1 Since its founding, Mindanao Mission Academy has faithfully served the needs of Adventist education among the constituents of Northern Mindanao, especially the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Lanao Del Norte. It offers a program of study geared towards the development of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions of life in fulfillment of its philosophy, mission, and vision. It also offers a complete secondary education with specialized tracks in the senior high school curriculum, namely: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), and Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM).2 Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the school has registered an enrolment of 876 students in 2020, the highest enrolment in history.3 Developments that Led to the Establishment of the School On July 1, 1946, the Mindanao Mission opened an elementary school called the Mindanao Central School at Cagayan de Oro. Because of this large enrolment, mission officials voted on May 25, 1947, to establish an academy in the Mindanao Mission and the present 20-hectare lot along the national highway of Poblacion Manticao, Misamis Oriental, Philippines, was purchased.4 The site was acquired through the untiring efforts of the administrative committee of the then-Mindanao Mission (which later became South Philippine Union Conference) under the leadership of the late Pastor Apolonio Somoso, the president of Mindanao Mission and also chairman of the Academy board. Hence, it was named Mindanao Mission Academy.5 History of the School On July 14, 1947, the school named Mindanao Mission operated as a complete secondary school with 10 teachers including the principal, Pastor Arsenio S. Poblete.6 Classes were held temporarily in army tents. A residence was rented to serve as girls’ dormitory, principal’s office, and business offices, and another tent was erected to serve as boys dormitory. The administration building along with two dormitories, a dining hall, and five teachers’ cottages were constructed.7 In 1948, these buildings were completed through an outlay of funds from the General Conference, the Far Eastern Division, and brethren in America.8 That year, the school graduated eight seniors in its first class and issued three more diplomas at the end of the summer session.9 It operated under a government permit for two years. Since July 1, 1949, the school has been fully recognized by the Department of Education of the Republic of the Philippines.10 Since the division of the Mindanao Mission into five parts – Davao, Northeastern, Northern, Southern, and Western – the Mindanao Mission Academy serves the Northern and Northeastern Mindanao missions. Three other academies have been established, one for Davao (Southern Mindanao Academy), the second for Southern Mindanao Mission (Matutum View Academy), and the third for Northern Mindanao Mission (Lake View Academy).11 In 1949, Philippine Union College (presently the Adventist University of the Philippines) operated a college extension program at Mindanao Mission Academy offering two-year courses such as Elementary Teacher Certificate, Bible Instructor, and Associate in Arts, Associate in Secretarial Science, and Associate in Commercial Science on the campus.12 The school offered work programs in the farm, wood shop, etc. This provision of work reclaimed many out of schools and helped students in the extension program of PUC.13 Andres Nathaniel Nelson, who founded Mountain View College, set idealistic criteria for a college campus and was determined to find a site in response to the growing interest in Christian education within the Philippines. His search focused on the island of Mindanao since part of the criteria involved the incidence of typhoons, which was a rare occurrence in that island. The campus of Mindanao Mission Academy served as MVC's temporary campus from 1949 to 1952.14 Considering the bright prospect and need for another college to serve the Adventist young people in Visayas and Mindanao, the South Philippines Union Board secured a piece of land in Bukidnon. College operation at MMA was moved in 1953 to a newly established Mountain View College in Valencia Bukidnon.15 Development in School Facilities and Infrastructure In 2010, Pastor Don Richards Generato, who served MMA as principal for three years (SY 2007-2008 to SY 2009- 2010), was called to lead God’s work in Western Mindanao Academy (presently, Western Mindanao Adventist Academy) in Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur. The Mindanao Mission Academy Board, under the leadership of Pastor Aner Tero who was then president of North Central Mindanao Conference, met and prayerfully discussed for a new principal to lead MMA. The MMA Board approved that Jesreel Diamante Mercader, MMA Boys Dormitory dean and Bible teacher who held a professional license in teaching and completed a master’s degree program in education (majoring in administration and supervision and religious education) in 2007 at the Adventist University of the Philippines—serve as principal starting July 15, 2010.16 Dr. Michael T. Oliverio, Sr., MMA Class 1950 was the very first alumnus whom Mr. Mercader communicated with at the start of his leadership. Through the use of a Magic Jack sponsored by Melvin Gagatam, Mercader frequently updated Dr. Oliverio and other MMA alumni in the United States of America on the activities, programs, needs, and projects of MMA. With the all-out support of Pastor Elbert Moralde, class president of MMA Class 1971 and president of the US-Based MMA Alumni Association, and his wife Dolly Allarde-Moralde (Class 1970), Dr. Oliverio and US- based MMA alumni began sending financial support to the school and even made yearly visits to see for themselves the physical condition of the school. During the school years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013, the construction of the Ladies Hall, administration building, and the cafeteria took place with an approximate 90 construction workers involved in these projects, working day and night under the supervision of the principal himself.17 Finally, in 2013 with the presence of California MMA Alumni: Dr. Michael T. Oliverio, Sr. and his wife Gloria Operana- Oliverio; Dr. Elbert Moralde and his wife, Dolly; Buena Salarda-Lamanero (Class 1960), Fely Ponce-Mina (Class 1957) and Zee Valendez-Postrero (Class 1966)—all graced the 2013 Grand Inauguration of 3 MMA buildings and one vehicle: Ladies Hall, M. T. Oliverio Administration Building, and the Gloria O. Oliverio Culinary Center, and a brand-new Grandia GL van. Among the distinguished guests during the said affair included administrators, directors and MMA alumni workers of South Philippine Union Conference, Mountain View College, North Central Mindanao Conference, Adventist Medical Center-Iligan, and Adventist Medical Center College.18 In 2014, Dr. Oliverio bought a 35-seater bus for MMA, and this was used for the church visits from singing groups (by year level), especially by the official school singing group, the MMA Teens Praise, which staged concerts in Zamboanga City, Pagadian City, Ozamiz City, Zamboanga del Sur, and in Western Mindanao Academy (now WMAA). This bus was also used for long-distance Teachers’ Retreat to Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Davao City. Eventually, the bus was sold to Lake View Academy (now Lake View Adventist Academy), and Dr. Oliverio bought an air-conditioned 45-seater bus to replace the old bus. But God’s great might and miracles did not end here; 2013 and 2014 were but the beginning of the overflowing of God’s grace and goodness to His work in MMA. 19 In 2015, Mercader attended the International MMA Alumni and Friends Reunion in Texas during the week of the General Conference Session of 2015; he also visited homes of generous alumni in California after the GC session. It was during this time when Dr. Oliverio committed to sponsor the first 40-footer van with donations in kind from MMA alumni and friends within Southern California. In December of that same year, Mercader travelled from Florida to California to help Pastor Elbert Moralde in inviting alumni and friends to donate appliances and equipment for MMA and later load the 40-footer van with all gathered donations for MMA. MMA alumni and friends donated office chairs, tables, cabinets, cafeteria equipment, motor pool equipment, laboratory equipment, computers, laptops, sofa sets, books, and many other valuable school facilities which MMA has used. From 2015 to 2018, Dr. Oliverio sponsored five 40-footer vans loaded with goods and equipment for MMA (two of which were sent to MMA in 2018).20 Because of God’s grace and goodness to MMA, US-based and Philippine-based alumni shared their blessings for the construction of faculty duplexes: Dr. Agripino Segovia (MMA Class 1949) and his wife, Elvira, sponsored the principal- treasurer’s duplex inaugurated in August 2015; Five alumnae sponsored the duplex that stands next to the principal- treasurer’s duplex to the right (inaugurated in 2016); Ralph Canales (MMA Class 1996) and his wife, Rochell, sponsored the duplex standing next to the Ladies Hall to the left; Jezreel Bag-o (MMA Class 1992) and his wife, Nory, sponsored the duplex (inaugurated in 2017) standing next to Ralph’s and Rochell’s; and Estrella Go-Zagorski (MMA Class 1967) sponsored the duplex (inaugurated in 2018) standing behind Jezreel’s.21 From School Year 2015-2016 until SY 2017-2018, God strengthened MMA by providing means for the construction of the Senior High School and then the Junior High School buildings which were joined together, located at the center of the campus.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

Leong Cesar de la Seña Department of Biology, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Mindanao State University, Marawi City Mark Anthony J. Torres Cesar G. Demayo Department of Biological Sciences College of Science and Mathematics MSU- Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City, Philippines [email protected] Abstract - Variability in esterase (EST) and alkaline phosphatase (AlKp) loci in the plasma (pl) and liver (li) within and among the local populations of damselfish, S. nigricans, was conducted using horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Samples were obtained from four selected sites along Iligan Bay, Clarin (Misamis Occidental), Buru-un (Iligan City), Lugait (Misamis Oriental), and in Sagay (Camiguin Islands). Results revealed that the gene loci for both pl and li EST and AlKp showed polymorphic expression in all sampling stations sites except for pl AlKp in Clarin and Sagay populations. EST locus showed three codominant alleles. Within Sagay populations, liver esterase is controlled only by two segregating alleles. Allelic frequencies in each protein locus were computed as basis in comparing variations within and among populations. Values on the number of effective alleles (ne) and total population differentiation ( δT) of alleles of pl and li EST and AlKp showed that Clarin (1.8, 0.42) and Sagay (1.71, 0.40) are more similar than Buru-un (2.18, 0.59) and Lugait ((2.36; 0.59).
