Class of 2026 Completes Academic Journey at ASU Kalibo Commencement

KALIBO, Aklan โ€” The Class of 2026 marked the culmination of their academic journey during the Commencement Exercises of Aklan State University Kalibo on June 5. The ceremony recognized graduates from the Graduate Program and the undergraduate programs of the College of Industrial Education (CIE), College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA), College of Computer Studies (CCS), College of Industrial Technology (CIT), and Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM).

University President Dr. Jeffrey A. Clarin conferred the degrees, while Aklan Governor Hon. Jose Enrique M. Miraflores served as Commencement Speaker and delivered the commencement address to the graduating class.

A notable milestone of this year's graduation rites was the wearing of the ASU Sab-eay by undergraduate graduates for the first time, extending its use beyond the Graduate Program as part of the University's graduation traditions.

Despite intermittent rainfall throughout the ceremony, the program proceeded as scheduled. The event was attended by members of the Board of Regents, university officials, faculty members, parents, guests, and members of the graduating class.

Mananatiling malumanay ang pagsasagwan ng bangkero dahil may mga hangarin pa itong iniwan sa isla bago magtungo sa karagatan โ€” upang pagmasdan kung gaano kalaki ang mundo at bumuo pa ng napakaraming pangarap para sa pamilya at sa sarili.

Nag-iipon siya ng lakas at determinasyong magpatuloy sa bawat araw na dumaraan upang sa oras na mahawakan niya ang matagal na niyang inaasam na minimithi, may sapat pa ring pundasyon ang pusoโ€™t-isip na tumayo sa sariling mga paa pagtapak sa lupa. Sa mga bisig niya makikita ang bakas ng ilang taong pagsisikap upang marating ang araw na ito.

Kaya, ๐™๐™ž๐™ง๐™–๐™ฎ๐™– ๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง๐™ž. Saan man siya dalhin ng kaniyang bangka, nawaโ€™y manatili siyang handa at lalong matatag na magpatuloy sa paglalayag. ๐Ÿ‚
