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: โ€œ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜›๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ด,โ€ he emphasized, pointing to the noble duty of serving people with skill and integrity.

Adding a personal touch, selected passers gave inspiring messages, reflecting their struggles, triumphs, and gratitude to their mentors, families, and the university. The atmosphere was filled with pride as Mr. Theo Mar Christian Caypuno delivered his salutations, while Mr. Daniel Albolero gave his closing remarks, officially ending the celebration with hope and encouragement.

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 fulfilledโ€”stories that UNP continues to nurture with great heart and mind.

The event kicked off with a powerful drumroll performed by the UNP marching band, setting a festive tone. Ms. Angelica T.

He emphasized that the celebration honored not only the years that have passed but also the core values that have shaped the institution. Atty. Jonalyn Almachar further enriched the event by presenting a historical reading of the university's journey.

A highlight of the jubilee was the inspiring address by UNP President, Dr. Erwin F. Cadorna. He encouraged the community to view the celebration as both a "๐™˜๐™š๐™ก๐™š๐™—๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™– ๐™˜๐™๐™–๐™ก๐™ก๐™š๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™š."

The formal speeches were complemented by a vibrant cultural performance from the Danggay Saririt Dance Troupe.

The jubilee concluded with a powerful display of school spirit. Following a brief, interactive dance number, the event culminated in a unity walk. Each college and organization participated with enthusiasm, presenting their unique yells in a collective showcase of pride and solidarity. This final act brought the community together, solidifying the celebration's theme of unity and marking a memorable milestone in UNP's history.

The recognition underscores the CHS faculty members' robust dedication to research and innovation, especially in promoting studies that integrate health, environment, and community development. Their efforts further the overarching objectives of fostering ecologically sustainable practices and harmonizing with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those pertaining to food security, health, and responsible consumption.

The 8th Regional Research Congress convened researchers and professionals from Region I to present innovative research across several disciplines. Securing the Best Paper Award amidst a multitude of competitive submissions signifies the academic distinction and research prowess of CHS Faculty at UNP.

This accomplishment highlights the increasing contributions of the College of Health Sciences to natural product research and motivates both teachers and students to persist in conducting significant and socially pertinent inquiries that tackle local and global issues.

The Region I Midwives Summit, held on August 30 at the 11th Floor of Levo Hotel San Vicente, Urdaneta City, served as a venue to celebrate leadership and excellence in midwifery practice and education.

Her leadership in both the academe and the midwifery community has been instrumental in promoting quality education, professional growth, and service-oriented healthcare.

Her recognition stands as a testament not only to her personal excellence but also to the collective achievements of the UNP-CHS in strengthening its role as a leading institution in health sciences education in the region.
