JCI Surigao North, led by Project Chairpersons Jurel Alban, Clark Rex Turtur and 2026 Vice President for Community Charis May Guerra, in partnership with JCI Surigao Wensie and JCI Surigao Nickel, unites for “Beyond Prison Walls: Restoring Hope, Rebuilding Lives”—a purposeful initiative of JCI Philippines National Program that reaches out to persons deprived of liberty with compassion and care. Together, the three chapters deliver meaningful services: free legal support and consultation, essential medications for senior citizen PDLs, hygiene kits, eye check-ups, haircuts, psychological consultations, and nutritious meals—ensuring that both physical needs and emotional well-being are genuinely addressed.
More than just a day of service, this initiative is a reminder that transformation is always possible. By restoring dignity, promoting wellness, and extending second chances, we aim to uplift lives and inspire hope for a better tomorrow. Because when communities come together with purpose, we don’t just serve—we help rebuild lives with compassion, strength, and renewed purpose. 🧡

JCI Surigao North proudly took part in the Mutual Pledge of Support of JCI Surigao Nickel last February 21, 2026 at Philippine Gateway Hotel, Surigao City—a meaningful and symbolic gathering that reinforced the strong relationship between our organization and our father chapter. This event served as a testament to our shared commitment to the JCI mission, strengthening ties through mentorship, collaboration, and a unified vision of developing young leaders to create positive change in our community. The presence of JCI Philippines 2026 National Treasurer Charinna Barro-Quilaneta added inspiration and significance to the occasion, reminding us of the greater purpose we carry as part of a national movement dedicated to service and excellence.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to JCI Surigao Nickel 2026 LO President Jair Balberan for initiating and nurturing this collaboration, guiding us as a true father chapter, and continuously supporting our growth as a local organization.
This pledge marks not just a formal commitment, but a renewed promise of unity, shared leadership, and collective impact as we move forward together. With strengthened partnerships and a deeper sense of purpose, we remain dedicated to building a stronger, more empowered community through leadership in action.
