𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | SMMC Donates 913 Reading Materials to San Mateo BJMP Male Dormitory

San Mateo Municipal College (SMMC) turned over a total of 913 reading materials to the San Mateo Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Male Dormitory (BJMP) last September 10, 2025. The donation, which includes feasibility studies, books, magazines, and journals, is a small but meaningful step to support education even behind bars.

The turnover was made official through a Deed of Absolute Donation signed by the college president, Dr. Reldino R. Aquino, and JCINSP Ralph O. Mayhay for the BJMP Male Dormitory. Both parties expressed their gratitude and hope that these materials will help in learning, personal growth, and also in making time inside more productive for persons deprived of liberty.

This act is not just about books, but about sharing knowledge and opening doors for better opportunities. It shows that education is something that should not be limited by walls, and that even simple acts of generosity can spark change in a community.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 | SMMC as the Heart of San Mateo’s Progress

During the 21st Founding Anniversary of San Mateo Municipal College (SMMC) at Ynares Stadium, Mayor Bartolome Rivera Jr. delivered a heartfelt message celebrating the institution’s growth and its lasting impact on the community. He began by expressing gratitude to the school’s leadership, faculty, staff, and students, recognizing their collective effort in making SMMC a pillar of education in the municipality. “𝘽𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙞 𝙠𝙤 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙠𝙖-21 𝙩𝙖𝙤𝙣 𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣,” he said with pride.

Reflecting on SMMC’s journey, the mayor recalled how the college began with only a handful of students but has since expanded to serve more than 6,000. He described this transformation as proof of the government’s determination to provide affordable and accessible higher education within San Mateo itself. This growth, he noted, offers young dreamers not only the chance to earn a degree but also the foundation for a brighter future.

Quoting Aristotle, Mayor Rivera highlighted the deeper purpose of education: “𝙀𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡.” He emphasized that SMMC is not merely an academic institution but a training ground for building character, instilling values, and shaping well-rounded individuals who are ready to become responsible citizens. He added that true education must enrich the mind, nurture culture, and inspire compassion toward others.

Looking forward, the mayor assured that the local government will continue supporting students through scholarships, skills development programs, and initiatives that adapt to rapid technological change. “𝘼𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙠𝙖𝙥 𝙖𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙨, 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙡𝙖, 𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙖𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙖𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙤,” he affirmed, linking education directly to the progress and vitality of the community as he envisioned SMMC as not only a home of achievers but also a strong partner in nation-building.

Mayor Rivera closed his message with optimism and encouragement, reminding everyone that SMMC’s 21 years are only the beginning of greater things ahead. He urged students to embrace every opportunity, work hard, and continue proving that education is the key to both personal success and the collective advancement of San Mateo.

President Aquino also featured the college’s role as a family bound by vision and purpose.

“𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧, 𝙄 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 21𝙨𝙩 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙖𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙤 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙚, 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣. 𝙈𝙖𝙗𝙪𝙝𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙖𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙤 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙚!
