Serving as the guest speaker, Hon. Maria Kristina Jihan B. Glepa, One Coop Representative, described commencement as a significant turning point in the graduates’ lives, emphasizing that education does not end with the awarding of diplomas. She highlighted the importance of the A.C.H.I.E.V.E. agenda championed by Dr. Shirley C. Agrupis and shared her own journey as an inspiration to the graduates. According to Glepa, the pillars of A.C.H.I.E.V.E. are not merely institutional policies but guiding principles that encourage lifelong learning, meaningful service, and the pursuit of excellence on a global scale.
“Keep learning even when it’s hard. Serve with integrity even when no one is watching. Dream globally but act locally, and above all, measure success not by what you gain but what you give,” Glepa told the graduates. She urged the Class of 2026 to uphold integrity, remain committed to continuous growth, and use their knowledge and skills to
make positive contributions to their communities and the wider society.
Speaking on behalf of the graduating class, Mr. Kent Peter M. Rondrique, Magna Cum Laude from the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology program, reflected on the challenges and triumphs that shaped their academic journey. He expressed gratitude to the families, mentors, faculty members, and peers who supported them throughout their college years. “This commencement exercises are more than just a ceremony; they are the culmination of years of dreams, struggles, victories, and countless moments that tested our strength and character,” Rondrique said.
The ceremony also featured the recognition of Latin honor awardees and the distribution of diplomas and Transcripts of Records to the graduates. Anchored in the A.C.H.I.E.V.E. agenda, the event marked the culmination of the students’ academic pursuits and served as a testament to JHCSC’s commitment to producing future-ready graduates who are equipped to contribute to national development and global excellence.
