๐‡๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐‹๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐“๐’: CBA valedictorians rekindle hardships of academic survival; ponder on life after graduation

In its third stretch this week, Tarlac State University (TSU) recurringly leads off its 36th Commencement Exercises with 750 graduates from the College of Business and Accountancy (CBA) at the University Gymnasium, July 17.

Leading the first batch of graduates with her valedictory speech, Precious Jhuval Aquino, a Magna Cum Laude graduate from Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, contemplated on the weight of finishing tertiary educationโ€”pointing out that the shift between becoming a student to a starting professional may take a toll on each of their well-being.

However, she assured that the non-occurrence of the future is a gift, as this makes room for the graduates to execute their personal choices in pursuit of their respective dreams.

"Our future is uncertain, and that's what makes it exciting. It is not knowing all answers but embracing the question itself: what's next?" She expressed.

Subsequently, Jake Eriel Tobias, also a Magna Cum Laude graduate from the Bachelor of Science in Financial Management, recalls the shared experiences of typical college students and how all of the adversities forged the studentry into individuals who are now ready to take on a higher calling.

"We failed exams, bombed reports, and flopped presentations, but it is through those very moments that we were shaped and strengthened into who we are today," He conveyed.

Verily, Tobias also highlighted the power of perfect timing, implying that winning is not identical for all since people possess distinct progress unique to the life they own.

The event was also attended by Guest Commencement Speakers, Regional Director of Department of Management Region III Madame Rosalie Abesamiz and Senator Risa Hontiveros, who applauded the morning and afternoon batch, respectively, with their heartwarming speeches targeting success behind trials and tribulations and how graduating only serves as the beginning of facing greater challenges of today's society.

Here is the breakdown of the graduates per Major:

- Bachelor of Science in Accountancy โ€“ 21
- Bachelor of Science in Accounting Information System โ€“ 108
- Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management โ€“ 190
- Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship โ€“ 55

๐‡๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐‹๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐“๐’: COEd, CCJE valedictorians honor grit, urge co-grads to move forward with purpose

Six hundred seventy-four Graduands from the College of Education (COEd) and the College of Criminal Justice (CCJE) were honored during the 36th Commencement Exercise at the University Gymnasium, July 16.

Delivering the valedictory address for the morning session, Magna Cum Laude Jhasmin Cariaga from the Bachelor of Early Education (BEED) Gen Ed reflected on their hard-earned success in the college journey.

โ€œToday, we wear one of our most expensive outfitsโ€”not in terms of financial cost, but in terms of what it took us to earn them,โ€ Cariaga expressed.

She underscored the importance of perseverance, courage, and sacrifice they poured into the journey, calling the gown a symbol of completed tasks to the countless challenges they overcame.

Cariaga likened her time at TSU to climbing a ladder. โ€œAt first, it simply indicated that I see TSU as a stepping stone toward my dreams, but as I climbed, I realized it was so much more,โ€ she said.

During the afternoon session, Magna Cum Laude Sofia Ysabel Villanueva from the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Sciences featured different stories and perspectives of a college student, from going to school with an empty stomach, to even facing fears despite doubts and challenges.

โ€œOne thing we share is that we walk through challenges we thought we could never overcome, yet here we are. Not because everything was easy, but because we worked for it,โ€ she stated.

The ceremony marked a milestone for the College of Education (COEd) and the College of Criminal Justice (CCJE) graduates as they formally concluded their academic pursuit at the university.

Here is the breakdown of the graduates per college:

๐‡๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐‹๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐“๐’: CIT, CPAG valedictorians remind co-grads of the importance of perseverance, choices in shaping the future

Tarlac State University (TSU) kicked off the college graduation week, honoring a total of 802 graduates from the College of Engineering (COEng), Architecture and Fine Arts (CAFA), Industrial Technology(CIT), Arts and Social Sciences (CASS), and Public Administration and Governance (CPAG) in the 36th Commencement Exercises at the University Gymnasium, July 15.

Leading the morning session, Hanz Ernest Millet, Magna Cum Laude from the Bachelor of Industrial Technology Major in Mechatronics Technology, shared how his love for robotics translated to greater achievements even amidst various struggles.

He concluded his speech by reminding his fellow graduates of the importance of perseverance.

โ€œRemember: your path may not look like everyone else's and that is okay. What matters is you keep going,โ€ he pointed out.

Following Millet, Shaira Nicole Ramos, also a Magna Cum Laude from the Bachelor of Public Administration, delivered the valedictory address in the afternoon session, where she spoke about the importance of choices in shaping the future.

Meanwhile, Senator Bam Aquino, who served as the guest of honor and speaker, highlighted the continuous crisis in education and the unceasing fight against free education, emphasizing the education-to-employment gap and a livable wage proposal for all.

โ€œAlam niyo po na ang laban sa libre at dekalidad na edukasyon, tuloy-tuloy. Tuloy-tuloy po โ€˜yan. At alam ko po na sa ating bansa, hindi dapat hadlang ang gastos sa pagtatapos,โ€ Aquino said.

Aquino reiterated his slogan during the National Election last May about โ€˜libreng kolehiyoโ€™ to โ€˜siguradong trabahoโ€™ and affirmed that it can only serve its purpose if there is an assurance of employment after graduating.

โ€œAng trabaho ng gobyerno, ibigay ang abot-kaya at dekalidad na edukasyon sa bawat kabataang handang mag-aral at magsikap para sa kaniyang sarili at sa kaniyang pamilya. At hindi ganap ang reporma ng libreng edukasyon kung walang siguradong trabaho,โ€ he added.

Staring at a page, where words strive to overwhelm and photos wrestle for attention, they sitโ€”their back arched, face close to the pixels, pupils locked on details.

They emit the scent of purpose. For they are storytellers, telling narratives in different typefaces, hues and tones, and shapes. Ensuring that no detail is lost, no image is unseen, and no truth is left unclear.

For they can find balance amid the shambles. After all, in their cursor and keys, voices will be heard.
