Centralians bag The Outstanding Students of Iloilo Award

An embodiment of Exemplary Christian Education for Life (EXCEL) – Central Philippine University has once again generated students whose academic excellence, service to humanity, and faith in God go beyond the borders of this institution. Hence, they were hailed as finalists of The Outstanding Students of Iloilo Awards (TOSIA).

After a rigorous selection process, Centralians Gabriel Mico Bondoc, Ro-anne Lozada, Zharina Marie Stephanie Lugo, and Daryl Lutero were among the finalists of TOSIA, a flagship program of JCI Regatta. “These students have showcased their achievements and prowess in line with the Four (4) Pillars of TOSIA: Academic Excellence, Leadership, Community Involvement, and Faith,” the committee wrote in a Facebook Post on June 8, 2022 as an announcement.

Mr. Bondoc is a 4th year student of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, and the incumbent President of the CPU Republic (CPUR). He shared that, “As someone who almost got disqualified due to the technicalities of the application process, I cannot express how grateful I am to be a recipient of such a prestigious award. My TOSIA application journey is definitely a humbling one.”

On the other hand, Ms. Lozada is a 4th year student taking up Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, and a former CPUR President for academic year 2020 – 2021. According to her, Qualifying again in TOSIA but this time at the college level is a gratifying privilege. But more than an award, TOSIA is a resemblance of our experiences as student servant leaders, may it be our struggles, failures, achievements, or successes. And qualifying for this award means that shouldn’t end here. It is a cycle of dreaming, learning, growing and inspiring. After all, the essence of being an outstanding student isn’t the glorious honor nor the title but one’s capability to get involved, take up spaces, and be able to influence the lives of others.”

Meanwhile, Ms. Lugo is a 4th year student taking up Bachelor of Political Science and Public Administration. She is currently the Literary Editor of the Central Echo, the official student publication of CPU, and its former Editor-in-Chief. “I’m thankful that the four (4) of us from CPU were able to surpass the rigid screening process of TOSIA 2022. I’m also thankful to all the people who supported us all the way,” she expressed.

Mr. Lutero who is a CPUR Senator, and the Minister of Organizations and Fraternities is also a 4th Year student taking up Bachelor of Political Science and Public Administration. To him, “TOSIA allowed me to review the archives of my growth in college and after being acknowledged, I thanked God and my contributors. But I’ve realized that regardless of backgrounds or experiences, anyone can still grow, improve and maximize opportunities to also empower the less empowered. However, it is only possible if we choose to be criticized, learn, work, and collaborate for progress.”

The awarding ceremony will take place on July 20, 2022 as scheduled by the TOSIA Committee.

While the university measures 24 hectares in area, Centralian excellence surely knows no limit nor measurement.

CPUR Virtual Week Celebration commences

The CPU Republic, the oldest student republic in the Philippines, opened the CPUR VIRTUAL WEEK CELEBRATIONS with a theme “L1M1TLE5S Transcending Boundaries with Science and Faith on its official Facebook page. On April 18, the PAMUKAW 2022 opening ceremony was shown live online.

CPUR President Gabriel Mico Bondoc presented the rationale of the virtual week and part of his statement was “The CPUR vows to provide inclusive and proactive governance ensuring that every student is well represented. All concerns are heard and are acted upon and that no student is left behind. With its vision, the CPUR remains limitless with the limitation in this new normal. The CPU republic will continue to be limitless. The CPUR virtual week will nourish the skills and talents of every Centralian. Allowing them to discover different facets of themselves and transcend boundaries with science and faith.”

The pandemic may have hindered a face to face interaction and live competition but it never impeded Centralians from providing platforms where they can still show their prowess and opportunity to innovate and contrive.

Whatever circumstance and setbacks, the creativity of Centralians is unstoppable, their DIYs cheers and yells videos will prove that as they hype their Colleges and teams to give motivation and drive to give their best in every competition.

Video compilation of last 2019’s University Day competition were also shown, highlighting the flair and adroitness of Centralians. It serves as a reminder of the Central Spirit to old students of CPU and an introduction to the new ones that had never experienced it Face to Face. The audience then actively participated to the guessing game of the iconic photos during the past University Day’s competition.

As we continue to celebrate this significant event in our university, may this serve as an invitation for us to showcase our talents and witness the prowess of the Central Spirit.
