Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya – The crisp sound of marching boots and sharp commands echoed across Padilla Complex on May 10, 2025, as King's College of the Philippines-Bambang's ROTC unit demonstrated exceptional discipline during the Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI). Under the watchful eye of Col. Jesus C. Pagala (MNSA) PA and his inspection team, the cadets proved their mettle through a rigorous series of skill, discipline, and leadership assessments.

LtCol Jesus C. Pagala (MNSA) PA headed the inspection team in assessing the readiness of the unit, starting with a formal meeting with KCP President Dr. Ely Jose F. As-il. The cadets went through a series of tests—precision drills and emergency first aid to tactical field exercises. Their skill in weapon handling, map reading, and conducting a coordinated platoon raid was praised by the evaluators.

What was remarkable about this year's performance was the immense support that flowed from the KCP community. Students, faculty, and staff swarmed the grounds, demonstrating their enthusiasm as their cadets tackled each challenge with poise.

The ceremony emphasized KCP's mission in cultivating not only skilled cadets but also leaders who are devoted to excellence and patriotism. As the sun set on Padilla Complex, the cadets stood a little taller—their hard work validated, their resolve stronger than ever.

This year's ceremony carried the theme "Generation of Unity, Partners for the New Philippines."

The event commenced with the traditional processional march of the graduates from the ABM, STEM, HUMSS, and TVL strands, accompanied by their advisers and parents. Masters of Ceremony Meivrine Chinyere P. Natividad and Grandier Yuri E. Bartolome led the program with clarity and dignity.

Notable guests included Ma'am Park Kyoung Soon, Co-founder of King's College of the Philippines; Dr. Ae Jin Kwon, BOT Executive Adviser and Vice Chairperson; and Rev. Anita O. Gomaya, BOT Chairperson, who delivered the Bible message and led the Dedication of Graduates during the Thanksgiving Service.

Commencement Speaker Klarrise P. Camangian, RN, delivered a heartfelt and motivating address, offering meaningful reminders and practical advice. She shared reflections on her own journey and encouraged graduates to move forward with unity, service, and compassion.

A historic moment was marked by the recognition of Yelline Joy M. Taiño of STEM 12–Ruth as the first-ever Class Valedictorian to graduate with Highest Honors in KCP High School Department’s history. In her Valedictory Speech, she reflected on her personal journey, shared challenges and triumphs, and expressed gratitude to teachers, family, and peers. She inspired her fellow graduates with these words: "Go, be confident, and believe in yourself. Don’t let self-doubt kill your potential. Believe in yourself, even when it’s hard or even when no one believes in you."

The program featured the awarding of diplomas, medals, and certificates of recognition, as well as emotional tributes to faculty and parents. Symbolic presentations of academic emblems, the KCP Student Credo, Pledge of Loyalty, and Oath of Alumni Membership reinforced the institution's values.

The commencement exercises concluded with the graduates' rendition of their graduation song, "You Raise Me Up," and the closing prayer led by Rev. Gomaya.

As the Class of 2025 moves forward, the ceremony stood as a reminder of the school's mission to develop students through high-quality instruction, research, extension services, and spiritual empowerment.
