The Eastern Visayas State UniversityโTanauan Campus (EVSU-TC) spearheaded its first Pasindayaw Awards -a Director's List Convocation honoring undergraduates excellent academic performances for the first semester of the school year 2025-2026 at the EVSU-TC covered court held on June 5, 2026.
A total of 129 Director's List Awardees from the Business, Entrepreneurship and Management, Education, Engineering and Technology departments were recognized.
In his opening message, Dr. Sheldon Ives G. Agaton, campus director, encouraged students to remain dedicated and steadfast in pursuing their dreams.
"Do not lose sight of your dreams", Dr. Agaton said, while quoting Langston Hughes words: ' Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.'
Meanwhile, Mr. Ed Bryan L. Yepes, EVSU-TC alumnus, who served as the event's keynote speaker, notably shared in his speech that success is not measured by perfection.
โYou donโt need to be perfect because your personality shines through. That is why it is important to be a good person, someone who knows how to respect, someone who knows how to keep promises, and someone who knows how to rise after setbacks. You donโt need to pressure yourself because of the timelines created by society,โ Mr. Yepes highlighted in his speech.
Moreover, in an interview with An Batingaw, Barbara Jane Espina, a Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Science student, a director's list awardee and a recipient of the Best Thesis Award in her program, shared that the recognition validated her efforts as a student.
โIt drives me to do more and to do better, even under pressure. It validates my efforts, builds self-esteem, and shifts my perspective from merely participating to actively striving for continuous excellence,โ Espina said.
The Pasindayaw 2026 Awards, the first campus wide recognition for undergraduates, did not only recognize Directors List honorees but also those who excelled in research as Best Thesis awardees. Civil Service Examination passers for the academic year 2025โ2026 were also commended. (๐ท: Romeo Caindoy, Vallery Verona) | via Cyren Catienza/An Batingaw News
