Sa pagdiriwang ng Araw ng Kalayaan, ipinapaalala sa atin na ang tunay na kalayaan ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa kasarinlan ng isang bansa kundi sa kakayahan nitong itaguyod ang katotohanan, pananagutan, at integridad.

Bilang mga nars, ang kalayaan ay makapaglingkod nang may dignidad, makapagpahayag ng ating mga saloobin nang may paggalang, at maging bahagi ng mga institusyong at samahang pinamumunuan ng malasakit, pagkakaisa, at pananagutan sa mga miyembro na kanilang pinaglilingkuran.

Kalayaan rin ang pagkakaroon ng boses sa mga usaping pangkalusugan, pagkilala sa ating mahalagang papel sa lipunan, at pagkakataong maitaguyod ang kapakanan ng ating mga pasyente, komunidad, at kapwa nars.

Nawa’y patuloy nating pangalagaan ang isang propesyong malaya sa pansariling interes at nakatuon sa kapakanan ng nakararami, kung saan ang bawat tinig ay may halaga at ang bawat pagkilos ay ginagabayan ng katapatan at malasakit.

Sa ganitong diwa ng kalayaan, sama-sama nating isulong ang isang mas matatag, makatarungan, at mapagkakatiwalaang kinabukasan para sa propesyon ng pag-aalaga at sa sambayanang Pilipino.

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!

Pray for Mindanao

The officers and members of PNA Zone 3, Inc. join the nation in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Mindanao following the powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck the region on June 8, 2026. 

Loving and Merciful God,

Our hearts are with the people of Mindanao. In this moment of vulnerability, we ask You to draw near to every family, every child, every elder, and every community affected by the earthquake.

Be their refuge when homes no longer feel secure. Be their strength when fear threatens to overwhelm them. Be their comfort in the long hours of waiting and recovery.

We pray for those who have suffered injuries, those who have lost loved ones, and those whose lives have been suddenly changed by this disaster. Hold them close and surround them with compassionate hands and caring hearts.

Bless the nurses, physicians, rescue workers, emergency responders, volunteers, and all who are serving on the frontlines. As they answer calls for help, grant them wisdom in their decisions, steadiness in their work, and protection in every place they are sent.

Lord, teach us nurses to respond generously to the needs of our fellow Filipinos and to be instruments of Your healing wherever we are called to serve.

We entrust Mindanao to Your loving care. May Your peace calm anxious hearts, Your light guide those in darkness, and Your grace sustain every community in the days ahead.

This we pray in Your most Holy Name,
Amen

Proud moments for Philippine Nurses Association Zone 3 as our past and present officers and members from World Citi Medical Center, Veterans Memorial Medical Center, Philippine Children’s Medical Center, and other institutions came together to participate in the Philippine Nurses Association - National Office 10th Summer Conference held at SMX Convention Center Clark on May 12, 2026.

Gatherings like this remind us of the value of staying connected as a nursing community, learning from one another, sharing experiences, and continuing to grow together as professionals and leaders.

We encourage more nurses to take part in activities like this, not only for professional development, but also for the mentorship, and sense of community that come with being involved in PNA.

PNA Zone 3 remains proud of every nurse who continues to represent the organization with excellence and dedication.

Continuing its commitment to strengthen and unite the nursing profession, Philippine Nurses Association Zone 3 successfully held its Membership Caravan last May 18, 2026 at Far Eastern University – Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation, creating another opportunity to connect with nurses who share the passion for service, leadership, and professional solidarity.

Representing PNA Zone 3 during the activity were VP for Finance Shella Paragua, Membership and Welfare Committee Chair Dir. Caroline Balmadrid, Co-Chair Dir. Laura Macalalad, Dir. Emma Alonzo and NOMELEC member Ephraim Malicsi. NOMELEC Chairperson Jose Andrelin dela Cruz also visited the caravan in support of the initiative.

More than membership, the caravan served as a meaningful space for engagement, collaboration, and renewed commitment to strengthening the nursing profession through active participation and volunteerism.

We express our heartfelt appreciation to FEU-NRMF Chief Nursing Officer, Dr. Maria Rosario Chiu, for her valuable support and partnership in making this activity possible.

Together, we continue to nurture a nursing community that is connected, empowered, and committed to service.

Nursing care goes beyond people. It also includes protecting the environment that sustains every community.

Guided by the Care for the Environment initiative of Philippine Nurses Association Zone 3, nurses continue to take part in meaningful efforts such as tree planting and environmental activities that promote healthier and more sustainable communities.

These simple yet purposeful actions reflect the nursing profession’s 𝓼𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓹𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓫𝓲𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂 to care not only for the present generation, but also for the future. Every tree planted today is an investment in healthier lives tomorrow.
