ACLC College of Butuan officially opened Academic Year 2025โ€“2026 with the successful conduct of its annual โ€œBalik Eskwelaโ€ Seminar, organized by the dedicated school staff and faculty.

The seminar began with a warm welcome for the new Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) staff, led by the new OIC Dean, Mr. Ivan Oliver C. Jabido. Designed to orient and reorient both new and returning studentsโ€”as well as faculty membersโ€”the event focused on essential school policies, academic procedures, safety protocols, and institutional updates.

More than just a refresher, the seminar reaffirmed the institutionโ€™s commitment to delivering quality education within a safe, supportive, and enriching environment. It also served as a timely platform for important announcements and department-led discussions.

A key highlight of the program was the introduction of newly hired faculty members under the Business and Computer Education Department, which continues to expand and thrive. Dean of Business Educationโ€” Mr. Reggie Consigna and Dean of Computer Education Departmentโ€” Mr. Jamel D. Pandiin led discussions that recognized the schoolโ€™s academic achievements over the past year and presented initiatives for continued excellence.

Before the program concluded, the school library teamโ€”affectionately known as โ€œBookwormโ€โ€”held a student orientation facilitated by Librarian Ms. Jennie Husain. The session guided attendees, especially freshmen, through the libraryโ€™s facilities, services, policies, and computer resources.

In closing, the seminar encouraged students to face the new academic year with determination and a passion for learning. As one speaker emphasized, โ€œThis seminar urges students to arrive at school with the determination to learn and to leave full of knowledgeโ€”not with hungry minds.โ€

With strong leadership from its faculty and administration, ACLC College of Butuan sets the tone for another productive and inspiring school year ahead.

The TVET Provincial Administrators Forum, held on July 11 at the Golden Tara Hallโ€” Balanghai Hotel and Convention Center, brought together industry leaders, school heads, and TESDA officials for a collaborative dialogue on the future of technical-vocational education and training (TVET).

The day began on an energetic note with vibrant performances from ACLCโ€™s Sidlak Voices and Dance Versatyl. Engr. Alan L. Atega, MBA, delivered the welcome address, highlighting the growing influence of artificial intelligence and digital technologies on how people work, learn, and live. Key presentations were led by Mr. Giovanni C. Mamogay, Provincial Director Rey M. Cueva, and Mr. Harvey P. Tabilo. They tackled vital topics such as TESDAโ€™s Industry 4.0 initiatives, the Unified TVET Program Registration and Accreditation System (UTPRAS), compliance auditing, and the emerging value of micro-credentials in accelerating skills development. Following a hearty lunch, participants were treated to a lively Zumba session led by Ms. Alex Jean De Leon, providing a fun and refreshing break. The afternoon sessions delved deeper into enterprise-based training, scholarship programs, skills competitions, and the integration of AI trends into TESDAโ€™s strategic plans.

ATSBAN Vice President Ms. Elizabeth M. Martinez closed the event with a message of gratitude, acknowledging the contributions of all participants and stakeholders in making the forum a success. The day concluded with a group photo and an open forum, paving the way for stronger collaboration and a more future-ready TVET system.

Jerryan Layson Azura led the ACLC College of Butuan Class of 2025.

He emphasized that success requires effort, sleepless nights, sacrifice, and faithโ€”all of which he experienced and considers worthwhile.

He expressed gratitude to his family, friends, and loved ones, acknowledging the support that enabled his success despite financial challenges. He reaffirmed his commitment to striving for excellence, even in the face of obstacles. Jerryan is a TES grantee and recipient of the UNIFAST Academic Excellence Award.

In his final statement, he left an inspiring message for his batchmates: "๐˜›๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ด, ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ณ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ด, ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ. ๐˜•๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ฆ ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ด, ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜บ ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ. ๐˜Œ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ง ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ง ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ข ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ช๐˜ต. ๐˜‹๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ'๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ซ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด. ๐˜›๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด, ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ, ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ต, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ."

The ACLC College of Butuan held a solemn baccalaureate mass for its graduating students at the Sto. Niรฑo Libertad Shrine, marking a meaningful spiritual send-off ahead of their commencement rites.

The ceremony began with a warm greeting from the presiding priest, setting a reverent tone for the celebration. During the mass, selected students from the Business and Information Technology departments were invited to the altar to lead the congregation in a special prayer, reflecting on gratitude and hope for the future.

As part of the offering rites, graduating students stood and walked to the altar to present symbolic gifts, representing their journey and achievements throughout their academic years.

The mass concluded with the Holy Communion, where attendees received the Body of Christ, embracing the spiritual significance of the occasion. The baccalaureate mass served not only as a religious tradition but also as a moment of reflection, unity, and blessing for the graduates as they prepare to step into the next chapter of their lives.

To our graduating senior members of Excel News Publication, weโ€™re sending our warmest congratulations and sincerest gratitude. You were never just writers, artists, or creativesโ€”you were the heart of this organization. You stood strong through the pressure of deadlines, the struggles behind every draft, and the quiet moments of doubt. And through it all, you stayed driven, passionate, and committed to covering stories that truly mattered. Because of you, ACLC Excel News Publication became more than just a school publicationโ€”it became a voice with purpose and heart.

Today, we honor the incredible individuals behind that voice:

๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—”๐—น๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—จ๐˜€ ๐—š๐—ผ๐˜ ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€โ€”๐—”๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ง๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ข๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐˜†

Some of us didnโ€™t hear our names followed by โ€œ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ดโ€ or receive medals during graduation. And yeah, it kind of hurts because we really tried. We stayed up late just to finish requirements, cried quietly when things got too hard, and still showed up even when we were tired and drained.

But maybe finishing school itself is already a big achievement.

Thereโ€™s strength in showing up when you feel like giving up. In trying again even when you feel like you're behind everyone else. Thatโ€™s something to be proud of.

People always say, โ€œ๐˜‹๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด,โ€ but letโ€™s be honestโ€”during graduation, itโ€™s hard not to. When others get called on stage and the spotlight is on them, we canโ€™t help but ask ourselves:
Did I do enough?
Am I enough?

Some of us were always the โ€œalmostโ€ students.
Almost got high grades.
Almost noticed.
Almost made it to the top.
Almost laude.

We worked hard. We gave our best. But sometimes, it still wasnโ€™t enough to get recognizedโ€”and thatโ€™s painful.

But we should never forget the battles we won silently:
The times we pushed through anxiety just to attend class.
The nights we studied even when we were already so tired.
The moments we wanted to quit, but chose to stay.

Thatโ€™s something real. Thatโ€™s something strong.

The system may not reward everyone equally, and yes, that sucks. But it doesnโ€™t erase our effort. It doesnโ€™t erase our journey. We kept going even when it felt like everything was against us.

And now, here we are.
We finished.
We got a degree.
We made it.

No medals? No problem. We earned something else like resilience, determination, and strength. They canโ€™t always be seen, but theyโ€™re deeply felt.

So if youโ€™re walking the stage without awards or honors, be proud. You still did something amazing. You finished the raceโ€”and thatโ€™s more than enough.

And to those who did receive medals or Latin honors, weโ€™re truly happy for you. You deserve it. You worked hard, and your effort paid off. Every achievementโ€”big or smallโ€”is worth celebrating.

We all made it. And thatโ€™s what matters most.
