A journal where every step matters.

Last July 13, 2025, the scholars, alumni, sponsors, and faculty of the Domindaor Bance Memorial Foundation Incorporated gathered at Mr. Danny Bance's residence to celebrate this year's Thanksgiving and General Assembly, with the theme: Gratitude and Unity. The event was hosted by Ms. Kate Dela Cruz and Mr. Renz Ngoho. It started with a sumptuous lunch gathering where everyone shared not only food catered by Grazziana but also inspiring stories. The highlight of the event was the awarding ceremony for the graduates of Batch 8 scholars and the signing of the scholarship contract for Batch 11, the newest set of learners. Parents of the graduates and the new set of scholars shared their sentiments and gratitude to the foundation through testimonial messages. As the event came to an end, everyone enjoyed a game of Bingo hosted by the Bance Family. The DBMFI Thanksgiving and General Assembly is an annual gathering of all members of the foundation. Fellowship is the goal of the event; it is when everyone introduces their stories, identities, and recent life accomplishments.

The Batch 8 of the Dominador Bance Memorial Foundation Incorporated (DBMFI) Scholars graduated from college with flying colors. Several scholars received Latin honors, and some were recognized for their outstanding performances in various fields at their respective universities. Among all graduates, Mr. Reymart S. Jipulan stood proudly as he graduated as the top of the entire block of Pagadian City Capitol College's Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program.

He recalled the moments when he struggled to work as an online teacher while studying to secure his tuition. The scholar's parents were teary-eyed as their son voiced out his love for them. The same day, Mr. Jipulan was elected as one of the foundation's officers as an official alumnus. The DMFI family is looking forward to him and his batchmates achieving their dreams in the professional field.
