The program began with the procession of the candidates for graduation alongside their parents, the institutional representatives and officials, faculty and staff, and the college mace.
The ROTC unit of ASIST led the Entrance of Colours, followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem facilitated by Angel B. Tuzon, Magna Cum Laude, BSED-Math, and was preceded by the Invocation, delivered by Sharlyn Ann Famela H. Gonzales, Magna Cum Laude, BEED.
Princes Joy M. Tuazon, Summa Cum Laude, BEED, officially welcomed everyone. Tuazon shared in her welcome address that there is no such thing that can be achieved immediately; it is with true hard work that anyone can feel joy in success.
"Awan ti banag a nalaka nga maala. Amin ket masapol nga pagrigatan, ngem adda iti ragsak nu marikna ti panagballaigi."
"A reminder that success comes from struggles and true joy is found in overcoming challenges," she added.
Tuazon then continued to welcome everyone who was present during the significant gathering.
The presentation of candidates for graduation was officiated by the college deans of College of Agriculture Forestry and Cooperatives (CAFC), College of Mathematics and Computing Science (CMCS), College of Teacher Education (CTE), and the College of Industrial Technology (CIT). The address of the petition for graduation came forth from Cerwin J. Cansino, Magna Cum Laude, BSED-Math.
On the other hand, Dr. Gregorio T. Turqueza Jr., college president, officially confirmed and accepted the candidates for graduation as graduates of the institution.
The program moved on with the presentation and awarding of medals to Loyalty Awardees, Honour Graduates, and Meritorious Awardees, facilitated by Dr. Noel B. Begnalen, Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA).
This year's graduating class of ASIST-Lagangilang's main campus produced two Summa Cum Laude, 12 Magna Cum Laude, and 93 Cum Laude graduates.
Moreover, the commencement exercises then continued with the distribution of diplomas for this year's graduates.
Kate Nicole B. Timbreza, Summa Cum Laude, BEED, delivered her words of gratitude, emphasizing the collective journeys that brought them up to this very ceremony.
Timbreza asked, "Dubai Chewy Cookie or Ilocos empanada?"
"Mukhang simpleng tanong lang. Parang wala namang koneksyon, pero kung iisipin natin, ganito rin ang journey natin sa college."
"There were moments where we had to choose not between always right or wrong but between what we wanted and what was practical, between our dreams and what life allowed us to pursue."
"Some of us wanted a Dubai chewy cookie, but life handed us an Ilocos empanada."
Timbreza stated that though life made them [the graduates] question these matters, along with the detours life has offered, some of them might be wondering why things didn't go as planned and it led them to learning something important eventually.
"It wasn't about what was given, but about what we chose to do with it," Timbreza said.
After the endearing words of gratitude, the graduates then sang their graduation song, followed by the pledge of loyalty by Alexandra Carmen B. Mcpherson, Magna Cum Laude, BSA. The programme then continued with the introduction of the graduates to members of the Alumni Association, singing of the university hymn, and the recessional.
The collective efforts of this year's graduates finally came to fruition. The 2026 graduation ceremony of the ASIST-Lagangilang main campus serves as a testament for each of the graduates in every endeavor that they set their mind into.
To the graduates of the class of 2026, congratulations!
