Message from the President and CEO
Dear Research Community Visitors,
Welcome to Digital Journal Philippines. It fills my heart with joy to greet you warmly as you explore our scholarly community. Your presence here is deeply valued, and I am grateful that you share in our journey of inquiry and discovery.
What began as a simple aspiration has now blossomed into reality. My love and dedication to scholarship inspired me to dream of someday managing a community of scholars and curators that could stand alongside the world’s leading publications. With perseverance and unwavering commitment, that dream, once thought far reaching, was brought to life through God’s gracious plans, giving birth to VMC Analytiks Multidisciplinary Journal News Publishing Services.
This journey would not have been possible without the endearing support, belief, and trust of special individuals who joined as pioneers in forming our initial editorial board. To those who believed in the ideals of VMC Analytiks, I extend my deepest thanks. I am equally grateful to the talented individuals who offered their skills during our early operations and who now proudly serve as part of our executive team. To all of you – thank you for walking this path with me.
Time has indeed flown. In just two years, VMC Analytiks has thrived strategically and achieved memorable milestones: from publishing 8 papers on our very first day to 288 articles today (and counting); from a modest team of 12 editors and reviewers to 26 editorial board members, now including colleagues from Malaysia and Australia; hosting the “1st Pentant Frontiers National Research Conference 2025”; gaining recognition from the international research community through aggregators such as Mendeley, Scispace, and Scilit; being catalogued by prestigious libraries including Harvard HOLLIS, UC Berkeley, and UCLA; and earning the trust of countless satisfied authors who continue to support and appreciate our mission.
Today, February 18, 2026, marks another milestone as we proudly launch our newly redesigned website. Patterned after leading international publishing firms, this platform introduces numerous favorable features: each journal now carries its own independent identity; procedures, policies, and compliances are more detailed; editorial board listings are updated with richer information; and the interface is more engaging, with intuitive navigation buttons for accessing publication details. Phase 2 of the relaunch will further enrich the abstract pages, offering more informative previews alongside downloadable article copies. These improvements not only enhance service to the international research community but also prepare our journals for recognition and indexation by high impact indexing bodies.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. VMC Analytiks will continue to serve the international research community by continuously adapting to the requirements of the ever-evolving landscape of digital publication.
Warmest regards,
DR. VICTOR M. CAJALA
