On behalf of the Crown and the entire CKCM family, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. Anacleto Dolar Jr., a dedicated 53-year-old dean of the College of Arts and Social Sciences.

Mr. Dolar's impact went far beyond the classroom. He was a beacon of hope and optimism, a compassionate friend to colleagues, and an inspiring mentor to students. His kindness extended beyond humans, as he lovingly cared for stray animals on campus, earning him the title of "shepherd of strays."

As we mourn his loss, we take comfort in the memories of his warmth, kindness, and generosity. May we find strength in our collective grief and offer our prayers for his soul.

To Mr. Dolar, we say: your legacy will live on through the many lives you've touched. May your soul rest in peace, surrounded by the love of God and the memories of those who cherished you.

𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍 | CKCM KNIGHTS DEFENDER EMERGES CHAMPION IN THE 1ST SEASON OF KAPATID INTERCOLLEGIATE VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT, OUTLASTING TC STALLIONS IN A HEART-STOPPING 5-SET THRILLER

The CKCM Knights Defender etched their name in history as the first-ever champions of the Kapatid Intercollegiate Volleyball Tournament after surviving an epic five-set showdown against the resilient TC Stallions.

Leading the charge was team captain Jevenick Gado, who proved why she wears the captain’s band: grit, leadership, and an unwavering heart.

The battle began with a stumble as the Knights dropped the opening set, 19-25. But champions don’t stay down. With renewed fire, they roared back in the second set, sealing it at 25-20.

Just when momentum seemed to shift, the third set told a different story. The Knights were overwhelmed and fell 14-25, putting them once again at the edge. Pressure mounted, but the Knights refused to crumble. A strategic rotation adjustment saw Christine Millang moving to open, while Gado, despite suffering cramps; fought through pain, refusing to be benched. Even during timeouts where the coaching staff tended to her, her message was clear: “I’m not done.”

Fueled by sheer determination, they claimed the fourth set, 25-21, dragging the match to a do-or-die fifth set.

AND WHAT A FINALE IT WAS.

Both teams left everything on the floor: every receive, every set, every spike echoed with desperation and passion. Then came the turning point: Glaiza Mae Ahon stepped up to the service line at 11 and never looked back, firing serve after serve until the Knights reached match point.

Game. Set. Championship. CKCM Knights Defender reign supreme.

𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐭. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭. 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐒. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐊𝐂𝐌 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬.

Going into this season without our star setter, Eden Heart Salvacion, has been an uphill climb, and we felt it in that first set loss (22-25). But true champions don't fold.

They responded! An absolute masterclass in Set 2 (25-13) led by the service aces of Christine Millang, followed by a nail-biting third set where Captain Jevenick Gado dug deep and delivered. 15-11 victory is ours!

It was a three-set showdown that proved one thing: This team is unstoppable when they fight together. See you all tomorrow in the championship game against the Tubod Stallions! Let's bring home the gold! 🥇
