The College of Teacher Education (CTE) conducted its 3rd Pinning and Candle Lighting Ceremony on November 28, 2025, at the Worship Center, formally recognizing student interns as they begin their teaching practicum.

Mr. Nathaniel De Guzman, Acting Dean of CTE opened the program by welcoming the attendees and acknowledging the effort required to complete the academic and field requirements of the teaching profession.

This was followed by Dr. Charliemane A. Bullalayao, Vice President for Academic Affairs, who delivered an inspirational message emphasizing the responsibility and expectations placed on future teachers.

Moreover, the keynote address was delivered by Madonna Mae T. Guerrero, public-school teacher. She highlighted the realities of teaching and encouraged the interns to remain committed throughout their practicum. โ€œThe dreams you hold are the foundation of your future classroom. Hold on to your passion, commit to your purpose, and never stop believing in the difference you are meant to make,โ€ she remarked.

One of the key parts of the program was the Candle Lighting Ceremony, led by Mr. Mark Joey Ganiang, CTE faculty. As the interns raised their candles, the act represented their readiness to move from theory to practical application.

The ceremony concluded with the official recognition of the interns as they enter the final phase of their training before full graduation and licensure preparation.

Northwestern University, in partnership with the Philippine Statistics Authorityโ€“Region I, held KomuniAksyon 2025 on November 24 at the Worship Center. The event gathered students, faculty, and statistical professionals to highlight the role of data in building inclusive and community-centered programs.

Delegates from Northwestern University and Mariano Marcos State University actively joined the sessions, emphasizing the growing commitment of higher education institutions to data literacy and civic engagement.

Prof. Karl Lenin C. Benigno, NWU Vice President for Administration, opened the program by underscoring that โ€œgood data leads to good decisionsโ€ and emphasized the value of the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) in addressing real community needs.

Atty. Sheila O. De Guzman, PSA RSSO-I Regional Director, delivered the keynote message and clarified the agencyโ€™s wider responsibilities, including national surveys, economic reporting, poverty statistics, and the Philippine Identification System.
Participants also learned about the everyday importance of data, responsible digital behavior, and the application of statistical processes in government work through discussions led by Mr. Federick S. Castillo, Mr. James Noel L. Tasarra, Mr. Rowelito R. Jimenez, and Ms. May-Ann N. Cacho.

Moreover, participants took part in educational activities on major PSA programs such as PPA, FLEMMS, POPCEN, and PhilSys, allowing them to experience how data is collected, interpreted, and used to guide development initiatives.
In his closing remarks, Mr. Renz P. Sanchez, OIC-Chief Statistical Specialist of PSAโ€“Ilocos Norte, encouraged students to embrace their role as future leaders, reminding them that โ€œevery election, change begins with me.โ€

KomuniAksyon 2025 reaffirmed the shared mission of PSA, NWU, and MMSU to promote data-driven development and empower communities through informed, inclusive decision-making.
