๐๐„๐–๐’ | Lone Summa Cum Laude receives โ‚ฑ10K grant from city mayor

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 โ‚ฑ3,000 cash, while 11 cm laude honorees received โ‚ฑ2,000 cash right after their commencement exercises, held at the campus gymnasium.

โ€œWhen I received the โ‚ฑ10,000 cash incentive for being the Summa Cum Laude, I felt overwhelmed with joy and deep gratitude,โ€ Yap said in an interview. โ€œIt wasn't just about the money; it was a recognition of all the sacrifices, sleepless nights, and hard work I poured into my journey,โ€ 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). โ€œThis 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,โ€ he said.

โ€œTo Mayor Mikoy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and continued support to students like me,โ€ 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 cityโ€™s commitment to supporting academic excellence at NORSU-G.

Negros Oriental State University-Guihulngan City Campus held its 67th Commencement Exercises, with the theme, "Navigation Towards Global Recognition Through Education," held at the campus gymnasium on June 18, 2025.

A total of 62 Latin honor awardees were recognized during the ceremony, including one Summa Cum Laude, 50 Magna Cum Laudes, and 11 Cum Laudes. Charles Philip Yap from BSED-Social Studies was hailed as the batchโ€™s sole Summa Cum Laude.

Together with the Latin honor awardees, a total of 858 graduates received their diplomas: 190 from the College of Teacher Education (CTED), 254 from the College of Business Administration (CBA), 126 from the College of Industrial Technology (CIT), 123 from the College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE), 113 from the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), and 52 graduates from the College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (CAFF).

โ€œToday marks not just the end of a chapter, but the beginning of an exciting adventure," Negros Oriental State Universityโ€™s (NORSU) President, Hon. Noel Marjon E. Yasi, said in his speech emphasizing that life does not end after you graduate college, but rather it is the start of another journey in life.

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.

Honoring their accomplishments in a solemn gathering and celebrating the journey that leads students toward their new roles, Negros Oriental State University-Guihulngan Campus held a recollection and baccalaureate mass for the graduating class of 2025 at the campus gymnasium on June 17, 2025.

With the guidance of Rev. Fr. Clyde B. Flores, the university chaplain, who officiated both events, graduates were encouraged to carry their faith, humility, and sense of purpose into life beyond the university during the recollection.

Following the recollection, the baccalaureate mass celebrated students who stood not only as achievers but also as individuals ready to serve.

โ€œThe world needs you because you are the hope and the future," Fr. Flores remarked in his homily, instilling in students that life is not merely a gift but a responsibility. "This is more than an endingโ€”it is a beginning grounded in faith," he added.

The event marked the start of the graduation celebration, blessing and inspiring the class of 2025 as they prepared for the commencement exercises on June 18.

Eight hundred forty-four students enrolled in NSTP 2 course, together with the 528th Department of Military Science and Tactics (DMST), gathered around the campus open field for their Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFROTC) Graduation Ceremony on June 17, 2025.

ROTC is one of the three components of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) that students need to comply under R.A. 9163, or the NSTP Act of 2001. The said event then marked the completion of students enrolled in both NSTP 1 and NSTP 2.

"This graduation is not the finish line; it is your launching path. It is the beginning of something greater, something that will demand more of you in the days to come," Orlando R. Bantolinao Jr., MSCJ, the NORSU-G NSTP coordinator, remarked emphasizing that graduation is just the starting point of their journey and that greater responsibilities await them beyond the university.

Cadets and cadettes performed a series of commands such as Pagsasanay sa Harap-harapan to showcase the skills they learned throughout the academic year.

With the experiences gained from this event, the students are now ready to take another step closer to success and are prepared to serve the country.

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

Today is a special day to honor the pillars of our homeโ€”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 loveโ€”the love that speaks louder through actions than words.

Happy Fathers' Day, Best Dads!

โ€œAng hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.โ€ โ€” Dr. Jose P. Rizal

As we commemorate our 127th Independence Day, we honor the unwavering spirit of our forebears who fought tirelessly for our freedom. Their bravery and courage serve as beacons of hope, illuminating the path to a brighter future.

May this celebration remind us that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, we must stand firm in our pursuit of what is right. 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.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas at Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!

To prepare graduating students for a life after graduation, the Counseling, Assessment, Resources and Empowerment (CARE) Center administered a Job Entry Skills Training (JEST) with the theme, โ€œExpanding Horizons: Embracing Emerging Skills for Tomorrow's Career,โ€ held at the campus gymnasium on May 27, 2025.

The event brought together graduating students from all colleges at Negros Oriental State Universityโ€“Guihulngan (NORSU-G) campus, along with faculty, staff, and sector experts invited as guest speakers.

Mrs. Retchiel O. Abol, Campus Guidance Councilor, and Mr. Adones Abril L. Zafra, City Gender and Development Focal Person, addressed the value of an inclusive workplace, gender equality, and relevant laws including RA 9710 (Magna Carta of Women), RA 7877 (Anti-Sexual Harassment), and RA 11313 (Safe Spaces Act).

The PESO Manager of Guihulngan City, Mrs. Harvy Jill Delos Santos, also shared her expertise in labor education. She discussed career path options with emerging industries, the rights and obligations of the employees, and how to maintain professionalism at all times.

โ€œRemember that how you dress, talk, and see yourself matters,โ€ Mrs. Delos Santos remarked.

With these experiences, students are empowered to meet the challenges of the job market head-on, ready to make a positive impact in their future careers.
