The Misamis Occidental Volunteers for the Environment (MOVE) – Misamis University Chapter successfully conducted the MOVE Youth Summit 2025 with the theme, "Empowering Youth for Mt. Malindang: Environmental Learning and Community Connection in the Protected Area." It was conducted at the Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park, Municipality of Don Victoriano, Misamis Occidental, on August 2-3, 2025. It was participated in by twenty MOVE members, alumni, and facilitators.

The summit highlighted three major events— community immersion, community outreach with the locals, and a tree growing activity at the MMRNP Arboretum, Barangay Nueva Vista, Don Victoriano, Misamis Occidental.

As young volunteers, the MOVE members were expected to (1) deepen their sense of environmental stewardship; (2) strengthen their leadership and teamwork skills; and (3) cultivate meaningful connections with the communities that serve as stewards of the Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park (MMRNP), an ASEAN Natural Heritage Park and protected area.

Upon arrival at the Barangay Lake Duminagat on August 2, MOVE members participated in a community immersion at Lake Duminagat, where they socialized with the locals. Before going to the lake, there was a short briefing by the designated Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Officer (MENRO), Chona Dulalas. She warmly welcomed the member and stressed the importance of Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park as a watershed. MENRO Dulalas, along with her staff, accompanied the MOVE members on the 45-minute trek to the lake.
