Mapulon

The Mapulon committee is steadfast and dedicated to its goal of advocating the health and wellness of an individual. Mapulon recognizes that the primary actors in preserving and enhancing the physical and mental well-being of the Ateneo Senior High School community are the members of the community themselves. Therefore, the committee seeks to serve as a medium for the populace to take the issue of their health into their own hands by having projects that give them access to necessary information, events, individuals, and other instruments that may help them care for themselves.

It aims to be the platform of support and care for individuals who find themselves unable to fully care for their own persons. The committee aims to be an ever-present, complementary branch that serves the health of all members of the Ateneo Senior High School, through which every individual may seek help with regards to their well-being. It also aims to encourage a culture of wellness which can help them have a better understanding of their well-being and become proactive in taking better care of themselves. Mapulon is a committee that forms personal and intimate connections with the ASHS community with the purpose of becoming part of their support system.

Vision

Mapulon envisions an Ateneo Senior High School that upholds the Ignatian maxim of Cura Personalis, wanting to cultivate a culture that positively encourages caring for the whole person. It envisions a community that values the health and well-being of students, championing it as something to treasure and care for in order to foster a positive environment where individuals can work on themselves first to ensure quality work with others. The committee’s goal is to influence individuals to become proactive in improving their health and well-being to be at their best capacity, through projects that seek to guide them in working to improve these aspects in their lives. With the assurance that these are consistently given importance and nurtured, the community’s individuals will be better equipped to live out the ideas of Magis, and Lux in Domino.

Core Values

Open-Mindedness

The conscious choice to view and understand certain outlooks or perspectives, especially those that are different from your own. To be open-minded is to allow other people’s ideas or stories to be heard and understood. Mapulon works to serve all individuals regardless of their background. In order to truly understand and serve the community, we need to be open to the countless possibilities that our advocacy entails.

Sincerity

The virtue of acting and communicating in adherence to one’s advocacy or beliefs. Being sincere means saying and doing things without having any ulterior motive that is in disarray with what you advocate for. Mapulon is sincere in its advocacy of promoting the physical and mental health of our community. Our only mission in Mapulon is to be of service to the community and help build an environment that is beneficial to everyone’s overall wellness.

Patience

The ability to endure any circumstance that may be irritating or unsettling. It is the ability to keep yourself calm and grounded despite any struggle you may be experiencing. In Mapulon, we know that our advocacy of promoting mental and physical health cannot succeed overnight. By being patient, we trust that we will eventually reach our goals despite any adversity we may face.

Prosperity

This pertains to living a life of peace and harmony. It is a value that is especially hard to achieve in our ever-changing society, but it is something you can attain with just the right commitment and control. In Mapulon, we aim to help you find this balance in your everyday lives. We will guide you and make sure you have adequate time to accomplish your personal goals and nurture your mental and physical well-being.

History of Mapulon

Mapulon was one of the initial committees instituted by the Sandigan initiative. In an environment that constantly pushed SHS students to strive for their goals and further their limits, health and wellbeing was often traded off in the pursuit of success. Mapulon served then as the constant reminder that your success and fulfillment need not come at your own expense. Now, Mapulon has grown to mean that and so much more. It is your friend that will remind you to always choose kindness, and your community that shows it cares. Embody mens sana in corpore sano and learn to love yourself, then you'll be capable of anything!
