The Bulacan State University - College of Nursing (BulSU CON) Gold Gear Awards 2026 (GGA 2026) commenced last May 25, 2026, at the BulSU E-Library Amphitheater.
With the theme โSIKLAB AT HUSAY: Pagpupugay sa Nagniningas na Galing ng Narsing,โ the event aimed to honor nursing students for their unwavering dedication, perseverance, and excellence throughout their academic journey.
For the prestigious awarding ceremony, Mr. Lawrenz Ruiz Centeno, RN, Nurse III at Joni Villanueva General Hospital (JVGH) and a proud BulSU CON alumnus, served as this yearโs guest speaker.
During his speech, Centeno shared his personal experiences as a nursing student and reflected on the challenges he overcame through perseverance and determination. He inspired students by emphasizing that success is built through resilience, hard work, and passion for service.
Dean Magdalena D. Soyosa, RN, MAN, the college dean, also congratulated the student awardees and commended their dedication not only as students, but also as future healthcare professionals who will serve society with competence and compassion.
The program began with the recognition of the collegeโs Deanโs Listers, followed by the presentation of special awards in student service and for graduating students who demonstrated excellence in academics, leadership, and service.
Amid the celebration, the call for the โCON Stay on Mainโ advocacy continues to resonate within the college community. Despite the petitions and collective appeals from students and supporters of it, there are still no official updates regarding the admission of Level 1 students in the college.
Nevertheless, the spirit of unity and commitment among BulSU CON students remains steadfast, reflecting their deep love and dedication not only for the college, but also for the aspirants of the program.
Since its establishment in 2004, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program of BulSU has produced compassionate and competent nurses who continue to make meaningful contributions in the healthcare field. True to the words of the college hymn, โLong live, BulSU College of Nursing,โ the collegeโs legacy of excellence, service, and resilience will continue to inspire generations of future nurses and forever remain in the hearts of its community.
