Benilde MMA 25th Anniversary: A Grand Gathering of Alumni, Professors, and Creative Legacy

Last September 20, 2024, the Benilde Multimedia Arts Program marked its 25th Anniversary with a vibrant and meaningful celebration that brought together generations of alumni, former professors, students, and members of the Benilde creative community. More than a milestone event, it was a joyful homecoming that honored the legacy, growth, and enduring impact of one of Benilde’s most dynamic and influential programs. The celebration became a powerful reminder of how the MMA community has remained strong through the years, united by creativity, friendship, shared memories, and deep Benildean pride.

The event was made even more special through the strong support of the Benilde Alumni Association, which proudly sponsored ₱200,000 worth of production support for the celebration, covering key event requirements such as lights, sounds, LED, and stage setup. This meaningful contribution helped bring the anniversary celebration to life and reflected the Association’s continued commitment to supporting Benilde programs, milestone events, and communities that have shaped generations of Benildeans. More than sponsorship, it was a sincere expression of alumni giving back to a program that has produced so many talented and inspiring creatives.

One of the most memorable highlights of the celebration was the gathering of many Benilde MMA alumni and past professors, all coming together in one space to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate the journey of the program over the last 25 years. The event was filled with warmth, energy, and joy as members of the MMA community shared stories, laughter, and appreciation for the people and experiences that helped shape them. It was not simply an anniversary celebration. It was a true reunion of artists, creators, mentors, classmates, and friends who continue to carry the spirit of MMA wherever they go.

Special recognition goes to Ms. Santiano, a proud alumna of the Benilde MMA Program, Batch 102, whose presence and contribution made the celebration even more meaningful. Her involvement reflects the strong connection that many Benilde MMA alumni continue to have with the program and with the wider Benilde community. It is this enduring sense of pride and belonging that makes gatherings like this so powerful, where alumni do not simply return to remember the past, but also come back to celebrate, support, and strengthen the legacy of the program for future generations.

The atmosphere of the event was both festive and heartfelt. Every part of the celebration reflected the bold, expressive, and creative spirit that the Multimedia Arts Program is known for. From the dynamic production setup to the happy reunion of familiar faces, the event captured what makes MMA truly special: talent, passion, collaboration, innovation, and community. It was a celebration not only of the program’s achievements, but also of the people who built it, believed in it, and continue to champion it.

The Benilde Alumni Association also extends its gratitude to the event partners and production providers who helped make the celebration possible, including Volume 10 and Ariel Ritz for their support in LED, lights, sounds, and staging. Their contributions helped create an event experience worthy of such a meaningful milestone in the history of the program.

As the Benilde Multimedia Arts Program celebrates 25 years of creativity, excellence, and impact, this anniversary stands as a proud testament to the strength of its community. The gathering of alumni, professors, and creatives made the moment even more unforgettable, proving that MMA is more than just a program. It is a legacy, a family, and a thriving creative force that continues to shape lives and inspire generations.

Congratulations to the Benilde Multimedia Arts Program on its 25th Anniversary.

Animo Benilde!
