𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨 𝙀𝙨𝙩 𝙄𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙪𝙢

You are the pens that dared, the voices that endured. Some of you stayed until the final press run, while others stepped away to juggle life’s weighty edits. But whether you exited mid-draft or wrote until the last period, know that your efforts for our publication were never forgotten.

Each beat you chased, each layout you labored over, each caption you perfected — they live on as victories in the margins of our shared history. Every article, every meeting, every shared silence in the newsroom stitched a narrative of courage and commitment. You are all, in every sense, part of the Gazette’s finest pages.

To the graduate members of The University Gazette, thank you for lending your voices to silence and for building a space where writing meant both duty and devotion, talent and heart. As the masthead shifts, may your next chapters be as fearless as your drafts. In lumine verbi, crescimus — in the light of the word, we grow.

848 Bambang, 301 Bayombong Graduates Honored in NVSU Ceremony

“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗲'𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿."

With this powerful reminder, Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU) held the first batch of its 21st Commencement Exercises on July 1 at the NVSU Bayombong Gymnasium, celebrating the achievements of 1,149 graduates from both the Bambang and Bayombong campuses.

Of the total, 848 graduates hailed from four colleges in Bambang, while 301 came from two colleges in Bayombong. The ceremony featured graduates from various colleges, including: 238 from the College of Industrial Technology, 177 from the College of Arts and Sciences, 276 from the College of Teacher Education, 157 from the College of Engineering, 228 from the College of Business Education, and 73 from the College of Veterinary Medicine.

Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah “Mina” F. Pangandaman served as Guest of Honor and Commencement Speaker, delivering her heartfelt message through a recorded video.

She reminded the graduates that their strength and compassion will shape the future, saying, “You are our real inspiration—isa kayo sa mga dahilan kung bakit patuloy kaming nagsusumikap sa gobyerno. The road ahead is yours, and soon you won’t just dream of change—you will lead it.”

She encouraged the graduates to celebrate not only for themselves but for everyone who stood by them, likening NVSU to Bahay ni Kuya—a place where every challenge, group project, and thesis held a deeper purpose.

“Hindi kayo tinuruan para lang maging magaling, kundi para maging matatag at may malasakit,” she added.

Representing Secretary Pangandaman at the event were DBM Region II Regional Director Cherry W. Bravo and Assistant Regional Director Jose Pamittan.

Another highlight of the ceremony was the graduation of Hon. Atty. Timothy Joseph Cayton, Congressman of the Lone District of Nueva Vizcaya, who earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Organization Development and Planning alongside his constituents.

Meanwhile, Dr. Elma P. Apostol, Vice President for Academic Affairs, delivered the welcome remarks, paying tribute to the perseverance behind every diploma.

“This moment is yours—but it is never yours alone. Behind you are the people who stayed through late nights, tight deadlines, and silent prayers,” she emphasized.

She also acknowledged the shared growth of the students and the university, stating that as NVSU grew, its learners grew as well, and together they did not just transform an institution but elevated it.

Capping off the program was the valedictory address delivered by Mr. Hans C. Bangyad, magna cm laude and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science graduate.

“We may not all have honors. We may not all have clear plans. But we all have a story. And today, we pause to celebrate,” he shared, reflecting on the collective journeys and silent struggles of the graduating class.

In a touching moment, he also paid tribute to his parents in their native tongue, grounding his achievement in love and sacrifice. #

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙢𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨."

Outstanding graduating students took center stage during the Hooding Ceremony and Recognition Program following the Baccalaureate Mass, Thanksgiving Service, and Tribute to Parents held at the University Gymnasium, Bayombong Campus, today.

Graduates were ceremonially hooded by deans and program chairs as a symbol of their readiness to embrace professional and civic responsibilities.

Meanwhile, academic achievers from various colleges were awarded medals, certificates, and citations for their performance in academics, leadership, and service.

In his inspirational message, University President Dr. Wilfredo E. Dumale Jr. said, “The call to excellence in progress has never been louder than today. The Filipino thirst for a better life and a better picture.”

He also reminded the graduates of their duty to serve the country, saying, “Your hood is your calling. It is now your responsibility. Your chance at giving back to the Filipino. Your chance of giving back to our nation.”

Furthermore, Campus Administrator Gerald L. Perez delivered the closing remarks and urged the graduates to recognize those who supported their journey.

“May this activity inspire us to continue soaring high and to continue giving gems to our university… to be known not only in the archipelago but throughout the world,” Perez said. #

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙇𝙖𝙞𝙙

Before the clapping began, before the medals were given, there was a moment of stillness. In that stillness, each graduating student held a rose.

At first glance, it was only part of the ceremony. But to those who carried it, it meant deeper. That final flower, burning red, represented every hurdle, every success, and every step of the journey that led to this very moment.

Because every petal has a story.

The story begins in burning the midnight oil, whispered prayers before taking an exam, coins counted at the food court, last bills spent printing research papers, and borrowed jeepney fare just to get through the day. That rose held the reality of little hopes and heartbreaks, tears wiped before entering class, and failures that pushed students to try harder.

For what is a rose, if not a mirror of the path they walked?

The thorns represented the distress, the breakdowns, the meals not eaten, and the times where self-doubt hides the remaining confidence the students have. Mga tinik na tiniis kahit masakit, because dreams are never achieved without sacrifice. Yet the petals spoke of victories—perhaps small to some, but priceless to the one who earned them. They are the joy of finally passing a dreaded exam, of making someone proud, of hearing “Kaya mo 'yan” from a teacher when it was most needed.

And behind every rose stood the people who walked with these students—whether beside or behind the scenes. A mother whose loving support were louder than our doubts. A father who gave up comforts so we could chase our dreams. Siblings who celebrated us quietly, lovingly, and without question. Teachers who saw stories of becoming, and chose to stay patient with us anyway.

So, where did the roses lead?

They brought them back to their humblest beginnings—to the struggles that honed their grit, and the people who shaped their virtues. They grounded them in the present, where pride and gratitude blend into one. And now, they point them to the uncertain but promising path ahead—towards a future they fight for, and now, finally within reach.

This was the last rose they laid. A simple gesture, but one having its deepest meaning. Long after the ceremonies end, that rose will remain in memory as a proof that these graduates made it—together.

NVSU Opens 21st Commencement with Baccalaureate and Parents’ Tribute

Grounded in purpose and lifted by prayer, the Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU)-Bambang Campus held its Baccalaureate Thanksgiving Service and Tribute to Parents at the University Gymnasium today, marking the official opening of its 21st Commencement Exercises.

Bearing the theme "Anchoring on our Strengths, Embodying the SDGs," the ceremony brought together graduating students, parents, faculty, and staff in a solemn reflection of the journey that led them to this milestone.

Reverend Fr. Johnny E. Valdez opened the morning with a spiritual message and prayer to the graduates, urging them to pursue lives of impact beyond accolades and titles.

“Leave your mark, not just in your career but in the lives you touch. Go beyond success,” he reminded.

Meanwhile, Rev. Lilibeth Asis-Balagan offered a prayer and message dedicated to the parents.

For the faculty and staff, Rev. Romar C. Flores delivered a message anchored in biblical values, challenging the academic community to pursue three key goals: strive for greatness, foster unity, and live in a way that honors God.

“Never settle for mediocrity. Aim for excellence. Work in unison, and above all, honor God,” he said.

Following the service, the event transitioned into the Tribute to Parents where students recognized the silent sacrifices of those who guided them.

Bachelor of Teacher Education student and Class Salutatorian Precious B. Carriaga, graduated Magna Cum Laude, delivered the tribute speech on behalf of her peers.

“Behind every page of our journey, behind every challenge we overcame, and every success we now celebrate, there has always been someone quietly turning the pages with us. And today, we honor them—our parents, our guardians—the ones who choose hard work over rest, faith over fear, and family over comfort,” she said.

In response, Pacita B. Carriaga, speaking on behalf of the parents, offered words of appreciation and encouragement, thanking the graduates for their sacrifices, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to finish despite hardships.

“Ang tunay na tagumpay ay kung paano niyo isasabuhay ang lahat ng natutunan niyo,” she concluded. #

ANINAG 2025 | CIT’s Casol to lead SCSSC after Halalan 2025 win

Richmond Casol from the College of Industrial Technology was elected chairperson of the Southern Campus Supreme Student Council with 1,552 votes out of 2,889 cast, as officially announced by the Office of Student Affairs and Services–Commission on Elections (OSAS-Comelec) following the election’s conclusion on May 9, 2025, at Nueva Vizcaya State University–Bambang Campus.

Casol secured victory against current SCSSC senator Cris Jerald Madalura of the UNITED party, who received 1,150 votes, resulting in a winning margin of 402 votes.

In an interview with The University Gazette, Casol reflected on his journey, sharing that his candidacy was born out of deep contemplation about student leadership and the limitations many passionate student leaders face due to conflicting ideals.

“This is it, we can begin what we have planned for the students we can voice out the whispers of the few, we can start rebuilding the trust of the students in student leadership,” he said, expressing both gratitude and resolve.

He also emphasized his commitment to continuity and collaboration.

“As the next student regent, I would like to continue the initiatives of the incumbent SR. That’s why I believe maintaining open communication with her is essential, not only to sustain her efforts, but also to bring forward to the Board of Regents the concerns and issues that may not have been raised during her term,” said Casol.

In addition to the Southern Campus Supreme Student Council results, the newly elected governors of the College Student Councils (CSC) were also announced, with each seen as a new catalyst of empowerment within their respective colleges.

Mark Clenton Carnate of the UNITED party won the governorship of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) with 390 votes.

Jasmine Didrei Tongson of the SAKSES party was elected governor of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), receiving 307 votes.

Unopposed candidate Wince Carlyne Samiling of the TINDIG party garnered 838 votes in the College of Industrial Technology (CIT).

Out of 5,135 eligible students, only 2,889 cast their votes, resulting in a 56 percent overall voter turnout. By college, CTE recorded the highest participation, with 591 out of 770 students voting (78%). CIT followed with 1,387 out of 2,385 voters (58%). CAS saw 576 out of 1,128 students vote (51%).

Meanwhile, the College of Engineering (COE) had the lowest turnout at 335 out of 852 (39%), resulting in a failure of election and leaving the entire COE-SC vacant.

Due to unfilled positions across several student councils, the OSAS-Comelec announced that a special election will be held to address the remaining vacancies.
