VIGAN CITY, Ilocos Sur โ The University of Northern Philippines (UNP) once again proved its legacy of excellence as it honored its new batch of Registered Medical Technologists through a testimonial program held on September 10, 2025, at the UNP Gymnasium.
The celebration began with a Holy Mass, offering thanksgiving for the achievement of the passers, followed by a pride-filled parade that passed through the towns of Vigan, Caoayan, Bantay, San Vicente, and Sta. Catalina. The parade symbolized not just the victory of the passers but also the honor they bring to UNP and the community it serves.
The formal program opened with the inspiring words of Mr. Ace Danielle C. Avero, Program Head of the BSMLS, followed by the much-awaited presentation of the board passers, where they were awarded certificates and tokens in recognition of their hard work and perseverance.
Dr. Joussie B. Bermio, Dean of the College of Health Sciences, shared a message highlighting the dedication and resilience of the new professionals. This was followed by a heartfelt toast led by Dr. Carmela M. Florentino, raising symbolic words for the bright futures ahead of the passers.
In his message, Dr. Rolando B. Navarro, EdD, reminded the new Medical Technologists of their role beyond passing the board exam: โ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ช๐ค๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ช๐ท๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ข๐ด ๐ข ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ด,โ he emphasized, pointing to the noble duty of serving people with skill and integrity.

More than a recognition of professional success, the testimonial served as a reminder that behind every license is a story of sacrifice, perseverance, and dreams fulfilledโstories that UNP continues to nurture with great heart and mind.
