Graduating students of the College of Business Management and Accountancy (CBMA) gathered at Hotel Alunsina in Banica, Roxas City on May 26 for The Seniors’ Finale 2026: Met Gala, a night dedicated to celebrating achievements, leadership, and the journey ahead.

Carrying the theme “Met Gala: Style, Success, and the Road Ahead,” the event opened with the arrival and grand march of the graduating students, setting the atmosphere for an evening of elegance. Opening remarks were delivered by Ms. Pia Paula B. Samillano, followed by a special message from Rev. Fr. Ryan Francis F. Barrios, who encouraged the graduates as they prepare to take on new paths beyond college life.

One of the highlights of the program was the awarding of the Top Pre-Board Performers, recognizing students who excelled academically. The awardees were Fatima Llanera, Judy Ann Novesteros, Vianne Nicole Lantoria, Ma. Eloissa Magbanua, and Sheilla Mae Caldito.

The evening also featured a musical intermission by Lindon Andrada and Ein Sanguillosa, whose performance added entertainment to the celebration. This was followed by the turnover of leadership within the student organizations, symbolizing the transition of responsibilities to the next set of officers.

A solemn atmosphere filled the venue during the candle-lighting ceremony, as graduates reflected on the years they spent together and the memories they created throughout their academic journey. The moment served as a quiet reminder of both endings and new beginnings awaiting the graduating batch.

Adding further significance to the evening was the Batch Prophecy delivered by Christian A. Oquendo, which revisited shared experiences and envisioned the future paths of the graduates. The celebration continued with a cotillion dance presentation, gala awards, and fellowship among students, faculty members, and guests.

The Seniors’ Finale 2026 celebrated the achievements, friendship, and aspirations of the graduating batch as they prepare to step beyond the halls of CPC and into the next chapter of their lives.

Padayon CBMA Batch 2026!

Some people become mothers long before a child ever learns how to say their name. It lives in the instinct to protect, in the quiet habit of putting another soul before one’s own, in the kind of love that asks for nothing yet gives everything it can carry.

A mother is not merely someone who raises a child. A mother is a sanctuary. A steady light left on in the dark. A presence that turns survival into living and a house into something that finally feels like home.

They exist in softened hands worn down by years of giving, in sacrifices never spoken aloud, in prayers whispered between exhaustion and dawn. Even in their breaking, they continue to nurture. Even in silence, they continue to love.

And perhaps that is the most powerful thing about mothers: they teach the world that love does not always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it arrives gently, over and over again, until it becomes the very reason someone survives.

To every heart that has loved with that kind of devotion:

Happy Mother’s Day. 🌷

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂, 𝗙𝗿. 𝗧𝗼𝗸!

In every season, there are people who become part of the journey, steadily guiding from where they are called.

As Director of Student Affairs and Services, you have been part of the space that holds student life together, including the Purisimian Publication under your office. In ways seen and unseen, your presence became part of our process, of deadlines met, pages created, and stories told.

Not every contribution is meant to be seen all at once. Some are felt over time, in how things continue, in how spaces are sustained,
and in how journeys quietly move forward.

As you begin a new ministry, we offer our gratitude for the time you have shared with the CPC community. May you carry with you the same sense of purpose as you step into this next calling.

Thank you and see you around, Fr. Tok! 💜

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | IN THE DUSK

In the dusk, the stories rest,
Silent pages, hearts confessed.
Shadows fall on lines once read,
Echoes linger where we’ve tread.

The lamp dims on the final word,
Yet every voice is still heard.
As the month folds into night,
Literature leaves its gentle light.

Incoming student leaders gathered at the Dr. Adolfo B. Bellosilo Auditorium (DABBA) on April 27 for the Pastoral Leadership Training Seminar organized by the Office of Student Affairs and Services.

The activity brought together SSPC officers, organization presidents, and representatives from various departments and political parties in a shared space for leadership formation. Rather than staying within their usual circles, participants were grouped with students from different affiliations, creating an environment that encouraged collaboration and exchange of perspectives.

Throughout the seminar, each group worked on assigned tasks and later presented their outputs, reflecting their discussions and insights. The presentations highlighted not only their ideas but also their ability to work collectively despite differences in background and representation.

Anchored on the principles of service and responsibility, the seminar emphasized the role of student leaders in fostering unity within the campus. It served as a preparatory ground for incoming officers as they take on their respective roles in the Purisimian community.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | ISABELLA

It has only been a few moons,
she was intrigued and I grew fond of her,
as if a part of us swoons.
Bearing the sense that our souls recognized each other.

Every day we connect without fail,
learning once more the language of poetry.
Letting ourselves be strong and frail,
and working on the promise of eternity.
