In recognition of their exceptional dedication and academic excellence, Charles Philip Yap, the lone Summa Cum Laude and a scholar of the Local Government Unit-Guihulngan, along with the other 61 Latin awardees of the 2025 graduating class from NORSU-G, received cash incentives from the City Mayor Hon. Filomeno "Mikoy" Reyes on June 18, 2025.

Along with Yap, each of the 50 magna cm laude graduates received ₱3,000 cash, while 11 cm laude honorees received ₱2,000 cash right after their commencement exercises, held at the campus gymnasium.

“When I received the ₱10,000 cash incentive for being the Summa Cum Laude, I felt overwhelmed with joy and deep gratitude,” Yap said in an interview. “It wasn't just about the money; it was a recognition of all the sacrifices, sleepless nights, and hard work I poured into my journey,” he affirmed.

Yap added that the incentive will be a significant help as he prepares for his review for the upcoming Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). “This blessing is truly a big help as I prepare for my LET review and upcoming board exam. It made me feel seen, supported, and motivated to keep striving for excellence,” he said.

“To Mayor Mikoy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and continued support to students like me,” Yap added.

The awarding of cash incentives to the graduating honor students capped off the 67th Commencement Exercises and served as an indication of the city’s commitment to supporting academic excellence at NORSU-G.

In an interview, Student Government President Sherwin A. Jakosalem expressed his emotions about receiving Latin honors, "Surreal! I am still in awe right now graduating as the SG President with Magna Cum Laude next to my name but, it was really God's work that sustained me all throughout this journey," he said. He also noted that with every accolade he gets, there is also a sacrifice behind it.

Graduates said their goodbyes and held onto a quiet hope for a new beginning as one phase of their lives ended and another started.

A Father's love is forever imprinted on his child's heart.

Today is a special day to honor the pillars of our home—the strong, hardworking men willing to do everything to provide for our needs. Often viewed as cold and hard but they are really warm and soft on the inside.

This Fathers' Day celebration is not only for our biological dads but also for our uncles who stood as our second dads, our spiritual fathers who guide us in our spiritual life, the ones who took the responsibility of being a dad, to the ones who become our dad not by blood but by heart, dearest fur dads, and to the mothers who become fathers too. Thank you so much for the unconditional love—the love that speaks louder through actions than words.

Happy Fathers' Day, Best Dads!

Let us recommit ourselves to upholding the principles that our heroes fought for. Let us draw inspiration from their sacrifices and strive to build a nation that embodies the values of justice, equality, and liberty.
