On September 18, 2026, the University of Baguio, through the Laboratory Elementary School Department and the Center for Counseling and Student Development (CCSD), conducted the Leadership Training Seminar 2026 at the UBLES Quadrangle. In collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) and the Supreme Pupil Government (SPG), the activity brought together 70 student leaders and representatives from Grades 3 to 6 to strengthen leadership grounded in values, responsibility, purpose, and service.
The seminar was conducted in two parts, each designed for a specific group of young leaders and guided by a distinct theme. Before the sessions began, Ms. Diana Lyn Tamayo, Assistant Principal of UBLES, led the oath-taking ceremony for each part, allowing the student leaders to affirm their commitment to their responsibilities and the values expected of a UBian leader.
