To the Honored Aspirants of Batch Orion:

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
– Louisa May Alcott

Life is like the uncertain waves of the ocean. It features gentle, soothing, and serene waters, but also billowing waves and harsh, tall tides that threaten to knock us overboard. Yet, as humans, we are resilient sailors, and we will always find the vigor in our hearts to set sail once again! A fortified heart, built with strong faith and character, and a lucid mind that stores humble wisdom and sharp wit, will surely fashion the self you aspire to be.

Gather your strength in the face of trials, for you are never alone. God walks among His people; those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Carpe Diem! Dear Rovers from the Home of the Stars, may you meet great success in the upcoming LET examinations!

The 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘀 𝗢𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 extends our heartfelt prayers and support to 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗻 as they take on the September 2025 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀! May your hard work, dedication, and passion for teaching shine through. Good luck and God bless, future licensed professional teachers! 📚💙

The halls were aglow with pride and promise as the College of Education's Batch Cassiopeia convened for their official Pinning and Send-off Ceremony, marking a pivotal rite of passage for its graduating pre-service teachers, held on August 27, 2025 at the Oratory of St. Nicholas of Tolentine.

With solemnity and celebration woven into every moment, the event honored the transition of aspiring educators from academic preparation to professional immersion. The ceremony began with a Eucharistic Mass presided over by Rev. Fr. Ferdinand V. Fornillos, OAR Director, CMO and REED Department, whose homily reminded the batch of their sacred vocation: “To teach is to touch lives with eternity.”

Additionally, the reading of the Testimonial Commitments led by student representatives echoed through the oratory like a collective vow. Furthermore, the pinning of nameplates—led by College Dean Dr. Ma. Theresa Haro-Chavez, assisted by Mr. Nikko Paolo Calumpiano and Mr. Remus Magbanua was more than a mere ceremonial — it symbolized the readiness of each student to carry the weight of responsibility, compassion, and excellence in the classroom. Each pin, blessed and placed with care, became a badge of honor and hope.
