We were children once, carrying futures too large for our hands and dreams we could only name in small voices. Along winding roads marked by uncertainty, triumph, and change, we gathered more than lessonsโ€”we gathered courage, wisdom, and a strength that comes from rising each time we were tested. What once felt distant now stands before us, bright as morning: a culmination of years spent becoming.

Soon, we shall step beyond these halls as those shaped by every challenge conquered and every hope pursued. The dreams we carried have found their wings, and the stories we have written together become the pillars for those yet to come. This is not the end of our journey, but the beginning of the blazing trails we will leave behind.

And as one chapter closes, another waits for usโ€”vast, unwritten, and full of light.

Love works in all ways, always.

Every person deserves the freedom to live openly and exist authentically without fear. The first of June is only the beginning for the countless individuals who continue to challenge the โ€œnormโ€ by embracing who they are and, thus, creating spaces where others can do the same.

Visibility matters.
Acceptance uplifts.
Inclusivity empowers.

This month and every month, we stand togetherโ€” with pride, during pride. ๐ŸŒˆ

Thus stressed Ar. Jasper Macleo Perce L. Pascual, during the third Hard-Hatting and Pinning Ceremony of the School of Engineering, Architecture, and Information Technology (SEAIT), last May 8, 2026.

The event, held at Robinsonโ€™s Place Ilocos Norte, recognized the academic achievements of SEAIT students and honored newly board passers as they welcome their new becoming in the transition from the classroom setting to the professional field.
