SAN PABLO CITY, Laguna — Members of JCI San Pablo 7 Lakes are set to celebrate leadership, service, and renewed commitment as the organization holds its 78th Induction Ceremonies on March 7, 2026, at 7 p.m. at the Coconut Palace Hotel.
The event will formally install Jessa E. Estrellado as the 2026 President, ushering in a new chapter of leadership for the local organization affiliated with the global leadership development network Junior Chamber International and its national arm, JCI Philippines.
Estrellado, a Cum Laude graduate of Bachelor of Science in International Tourism and Travel Management from Lyceum of the Philippines University – Manila, currently serves as Human Resources Director of El Coco Group of Companies.
She balances her professional career with family life alongside her husband, PJ Estrellado, and their four children, Zofia Paula, Paul James, Paula Maxine, and Lio Paul Estrellado.
Returning to Strengthen the Home Chapter
After ten years of active involvement in JCI beyond the chapter level, particularly in supporting national programs, Estrellado said she is now focused on giving back to her home chapter.
“My goal is to dedicate more time and effort to strengthening JCI San Pablo 7 Lakes by implementing concrete plans and initiatives that will empower members and sustain our organization’s growth,” Estrellado said.
She emphasized that her leadership vision centers on developing confident and compassionate leaders who can create meaningful impact in their communities.
“My goal is to guide every JCI San Pablo 7 Lakes member on a journey of empowerment, helping them grow in confidence, compassion, and leadership so they can elevate not only themselves but the communities they serve,” she added.
Journey, Empower, Elevate
For 2026, the chapter will carry the theme “Journey • Empower • Elevate,” aligned with the national theme of JCI Philippines under National President Patrick Maglinao, which calls on members to “Sustain the Future.”
The theme reflects the chapter’s direction for the year. “Journey” represents the organization’s mission and the collective progress of its members as they continue to grow together. “Empower” highlights the commitment to uplift members, the youth, and the wider community so they can realize their full potential. Meanwhile, “Elevate” underscores the goal of advancing sustainable initiatives, strengthening community development efforts, and promoting leadership excellence throughout the organization.
Through this vision, the organization aims to build stronger leaders, expand community programs, and sustain long-term impact in San Pablo City and beyond.
A Legacy of Leadership and Service
The 78th induction ceremony marks another milestone in the continuing legacy of JCI San Pablo 7 Lakes, a civic organization known for nurturing young leaders through community development projects, leadership training, and service initiatives.
As the new leadership takes its oath, members and supporters are expected to reaffirm their commitment to purpose-driven action, transformative service, and building a stronger future for the community.
