A CPUR COMELEC Officer carefully tallies the votes.
Students went to their designated precincts early on Thursday March 15, 2018 to elect their favored candidates. Most of the voters chose candidates they thought and felt would think and work for the betterment of students and the system and are perceived to be honest and credible. The CPUR election is held every year with two accredited political parties gunning for the prescribed elected positions: Reform and Koalisyon.
Several places have been designated around the campus as venues for this year’s election. The CBA precinct was at the Grandstand in the Big Field; CCS, CAS, CoED and CARES were located at the Mary Thomas Quadrangle; CHM at the Santos Park; the College of Theology in Ancheta Hall; CNAHS and CMLS at the Loreto D. Tupas Building; the College of Law at Henry Luce III Library; the College of Engineering at the Engineering study area; Junior and Senior High Schools at the High School Gym.
Except for the College of Law who were allowed to vote until 7 PM, the rest of the precincts accepted ballots from 8 AM to 5 PM.

According to the CPUR, to be an officer of the Republic is to be part of a prestigious student government. It is both a privilege and a responsibility. It is a privilege because not all of the students in CPU are chosen by their fellow students to become a CPUR official. It is a privilege for the elected student candidate to be authorized to plan, prepare and implement policies, programs, and projects for the whole CPU Student Republic.
Through the years, CPUR, the oldest student organization in the Philippines, continues to live the legacy of student leadership and democracy.

CPU takes pride in its tradition of producing excellent pharmacists throughout the years.
“If you cannot be seen, see to it that you can be great; there is no substitute to being great.” This was how the guest speaker Gilda R. Rivero started his challenge to 85 students who received their pins from the CPU College of Pharmacy. The students were about to enter the crucial years of college life: their third year in BS Pharmacy.
The Pinning Ceremony of the BSPH Batch 2019 was held on March 15, 2018, Monday, at the University Church. The program started at 9 A.M. with the processional. The invocation was led by Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian, Senior Pastor, University Church, and was followed by the Pambansang Awit and Alma Mater Song.
Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Irving L. Rio (on behalf of the University President Dr. Teodoro C. Robles), welcomed the parents, guests, faculty and students. He acknowledged their enthusiasm in pursuing success in the College of Pharmacy.
Ma. Jaen A. Jamistas, faculty, introduced the guest speaker, Gilda R. Rivero, former Dean of the College of Pharmacy, University of San Agustin. Rivero delivered an inspirational message meant to inspire and equip the candidates. She told the candidates to “dream like Jose Rizal, to have a critical mind, to think of your dream.”
Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Irving Domingo L. Rio encouraged the students to carry on the Centralian spirit of excellence.
“I was a board top-notcher,” Rivero added, “and once I landed on top, I never allowed things or anyone to bring me a notch down. I prayed to be number one and I made it.” She stressed to the students the need to “pray hard, work hard, and study hard!” Rivero, who feels 25 years old at 75, believes that “as man proposes, God disposes.”
Rivero, who heads the Pharmacist Association in Iloilo City, has worked with several pharmaceutical organizations and companies as consultant and lecturer.

Always with you – prayers are encounters with the King.
A story is told about a cruel king who brought his servant with him to hunt in the forest near his kingdom. A lot of exotic birds and other animals abound, but he was fascinated with a spotted dear roaming the forest.
The servant, due to his tribe’s belief, advised the king not to harm the deer. The king did not listen, and instead trained his bow at the animal. As the king was about to release an arrow, a fierce lion jumped over him from somewhere behind. Just then, the servant readily pierced a spear into the lion. The lion died shortly.
The king was saved but lost one of his fingers defending himself from the attack. The pain made him so angry that instead of thanking the servant, he sent him to jail. The servant said to the king, “God is so good. He saved you”.
Without minding the servant, He bandaged his finger and rushed back to the forest, cursing and promising himself to get the deer this time. “I’d rather go hunting alone!”
While approaching the forest, a band of natives armed with knives grabbed the king and brought him to where their chieftain was starting a ritual. The king was bound and placed on an altar, then was offered as sacrifice to the tribe’s god.
Then the chieftain discovered that the king had a missing finger. “He is not whole to be offered to our god!” The chieftain had him released, and he ran back to his palace. And being grateful, the king released his servant and apologized for putting him in jail. Then he said to the servant, “Our God is really good. He saved me from being sacrificed to their god. But,” he added “why did he let me put you in jail?” Then the servant answered, “God is good! If He had allowed me to go with you, I would have been the one to be sacrificed.”
God is good anytime. He never leaves us nor allows us to be in danger. He even leads us and guides us in our decisions so that we should be safe. Let us remember this comforting verse from Psalms 23:4, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian, Senior Pastor, University Church.
In line with the celebration of Christ Emphasis Week, the Central Philippine University College of Law held its biannual special convocation at the Educational Media Center (EMC) on February 28, 2018.
For the words of welcome, College of Law Dean, Atty. Zacarias D. Bedona Jr., shared the anecdote about Mr. Philip Bliss. “In 1958, one of the best and popular singers was Philip Bliss. Years later, the descendants of Philip Bliss sent Mr. Albert B. Smith a letter. The letter contained the story of young Philip and his teacher Mrs. Murphy. Before he learned to read and write, Mrs. Murphy made the children memorize Psalm 23. One time, the children were made to recite the verse, and Philip recited the lines, ‘surely good Miss Murphy will follow me all the days of my life.’”
Dean Bedona shared that this year’s CEW text, Psalm 23, is a verse close to his heart because it was his wife’s favorite before she died. “This verse is also very dear to me because I would sometimes read the verse as, ‘[S]urely goodness and Mercy will follow me all the days of my life.’ Mercy is the name of my wife. I hope that tonight you will encounter God in a very special way.”
For the message, University Church Senior Pastor, Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian, talked about loneliness and depression as one of the leading issues the youth face today. “Amos 8:11 talks about a famine. It says, ‘‘Be certain of this, the time is coming,’ says the sovereign Lord.
‘when I will send a famine through the land—not a shortage of food or water but an end to divine revelation! People will stagger from sea to sea, and from the north around to the east. They will wander about looking for a revelation from the Lord, but they will not find any. In that day your beautiful young women and your young men will faint from thirst. These are the ones who now take oaths in the name of the sinful idol goddess of Samaria. They vow, ‘As surely as your god lives, O Dan,’ or ‘As surely as your beloved one lives, O Beer Sheba!’ But they will fall down and not get up again.’’”
According to Rev. Sian, there is a special mention of the youth in the said verse. “The verse talks about beautiful young women and young men and it speaks about your generation, and how vulnerable the times are in this stage of your life. I am not saying the previous generation is better but nowadays the temptation is greater and the desire to satisfy is met with temporary solutions to a permanent problem.”
Rev. Sian shares about the 2018 Grammy Awards in Madison Square Garden, New York. “During the 2018 Grammys, one of the nominated song of the year was “1-800-273-8255”—this is the hotline number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifetime. The song talks about a man wanting to die and then on the other side someone talks to him that it’s not the end, that there is hope. Every day, the hotlines received around 6,000 to 7,000 phone calls and it only speaks of the magnitude of depression. A lot of people are calling for help and a lot of people are in despair.”
He goes on to talk that the root cause of depression and loneliness is that people have forsaken God. “If you hunger for food, it can be remedied, but the famine of the soul does not have a solution from a human perspective. There is no shortage in the preaching of the Word of God. There is a famine in hearing. Because of our rejection of God, the consequence is meaninglessness and desperation. The solution is to go back to God.”
Ending his sermon, Rev. Sian told the story of Ernest Hemingway’s “The Capital of the World.” In the story, a man and his son, Paco, had an argument and the latter ran away. The father looked for Paco everywhere and after failing to find him, eventually published a post in the newspaper saying, “Paco, meet me at Hotel Montana at noon on Tuesday. All is forgiven! Love, Papa.” On the said day, the man went to the said hotel and to his surprise he found 800 young men named Paco. “There is a deep hunger for forgiveness. Picture God as a loving father who calls us home. Our hearts are restless until we find rest in Him.”
Centralians fill the Rose Memorial Auditorium during the Christ Emphasis Week celebration.
“…With you always” (Psalm 23:4)—Celebrating the faithfulness of God to the university for 112 years, Central Philippine University dedicates this year’s Christ Emphasis Week to reaching out to those experiencing depression and loneliness. Held on February 23 to March 2, 2018, the eight-day event is a testimony of encouragement and love, highlighting God’s promise that he will never leave us nor forsake us.
Mental Health, being one of the leading issues faced by society today, is common among young people. The pressures of study and career, the standards imposed by the media, and the increasing discontent brought about by a competitive society have contributed greatly to the depression and low self-esteem among the youth. According to Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian, there is a growing pressure among the youth especially brought about by new media. “The world will tell you, ‘Go here, go there, buy this, buy that, do this, do that.’ There is so much going on that we seek contentment in things that only give us temporary pleasure.”
Rev. Dr. Jerson B. Narciso, CPBC General Secretary, talked about the constant faithfulness of God.Rev. Jesse Magno encourages Centralians to offer their lives to the Lord, the only source of peace and security.Pastor Albert Mark Java shared about the steadfast love of God.Shout unto God a song of praise – Centralians led the praise and worship session.
This however is not a losing case; rather, it is a great expression of our need to welcome God into our lives as the author of life and the giver of purpose. This year’s CEW has gathered speakers and witnesses of faith. For the high school convocation, Rev. Jesse Magno and Pastor Albert Mark Java shared the Word of God, highlighting that God’s faithfulness is present, be it in good or hard times.
For the elementary convocation, Pastor Chobel Ferrer encouraged young Centralians to take heart and be brave knowing that Jesus loves them and He will never forsake them. She also encouraged the elementary students to cheer one another.
Meanwhile, for the college and senior high school students, the speakers Rev. Dr. Jerson B. Narciso, CPBC General Secretary; Dr. Margen A. Java, Director, CPU Office of Development Program; and Pastor Niza Joy F. Santiago, an alumnus of CPU as well and pastor in a CPBC church in Capiz, used the lecture-forum format where they answered students’ questions about combating depression and helping others after their discussion.
CPU’s Christ Emphasis Week is part of the university’s commitment not only in producing excellent professionals that impart their time and talent to the community at large but also in encouraging Christian values in the workplace, school, and home that combat depression and loneliness. It is to be part of a community of believers that encourage, love, and uplift one another.

CPU President, Dr. Teodoro C. Robles talked about the spirit of excellence that Dr. Rex D. Drilon embodied.
Celebrating the life and contributions of Central Philippine University’s first Filipino President, CPU held a memorial service in honor of Dr. Rex D. Drilon at the Evangelical Memorial Garden on February 21, 2018.
For the words of welcome, CPU President Dr. Teodoro C. Robles talked about the importance of examining oneself and imparting a cause and legacy that the next generation could look up to, just as what Dr. Drilon has done. “This is not only a celebration of Dr. Rex D. Drilon’s life but a reminder that we are but mere mortals and that we have to examine ourselves and the legacy that we want to impart not only to the university but to our friends and family as well.”
Furthermore, Dr. Robles remembered the life of excellence that Dr. Drilon led and his commitment to lifting the university to greater heights. “We will always be reminded by the contributions of Dr. Drilon not only to Central Philippine University but the institutions that he was involved in. Let us look back and be reminded of his life and may we be inspired to complete our task for the university.”
CPU President, Dr. Teodoro C. Robles and Board of Trustee member, Mr. Noli Bajada place wreaths of flowers in Dr. Drilon’s tomb.CPU President, Dr. Teodoro C. Robles and Mr. Lincoln Rex Q. Drilon led the ribbon-cutting of the Rex D. Drilon Hall.
Ms. Susan Herga, CPU Elementary School Assistant Principal, shared her recollections of Dr. Drilon. “Forty-nine years ago, in 1969, when I transferred to CPU from Southern Baptist College, I heard from friends and relatives that Dr. Rex. D. Drilon was the President of Central Philippine University but I didn’t have any idea what he looked like, so when I met him in the campus I did not know it was him. One time, I was on my way to attend my class and ahead of me was a tall man wearing black pants and a long sleeved polo shirt. He was walking three meters away from me but what caught my attention was that from time to time he would stop and pick up something along the way. I did not walk past him because I was ashamed. I just walked observing what he was doing. I noticed that he was picking up rubbish along the way and I did not see him doing this once but several times.”
After returning home, Ms. Herga told her aunt about the man she saw. It was then that she realized that the man picking rubbish along the halls of CPU Elementary School was the Dr. Drilon. “When I came home, I told my aunt about the incident and she remarked, ‘Oh! Don’t you know that is Dr. Rex D. Drilon, the university president?’ I then said to myself, ‘A president of the university? Picking up the rubbish the elementary student threw in the campus?’ But he was not ashamed to pick them up!”

Robles with previous university presidents, Dr. Juanito C. Acanto and Dr. Agustin A. Pulido pose beside Rev. William O. Valentine’s (First Principal, Jaro Industrial School) bust.
According to Ms. Herga, that incident taught her a very important lesson about excellence and love for Central Philippine University. “A mediocre teacher tells, a good teacher explains, a superior teacher demonstrates but a great teacher inspires. Without saying a word, Dr. Rex D. Drilon had inspired and demonstrated how to care for our environment and above all, the CPU Campus.”
For the reflection, Rev. Roger T. Quimpo, shared his memories with the late CPU President and talked about the importance of leaving behind a good legacy. “I recall that when I was young, my friends and I would play around CPU campus and we would see Dr. Drilon. He would usually ask us what we were doing and who our parents were. Today, as we look back at the values and legacies of Dr. Drilon, we are reminded of our own legacies. A man can either spend his life, waste his life, or invest in his life—and the greatest thing we can do with our lives is to invest it in something that can outlast us. Time is our most valuable possession. What do you want to be remembered for? There is a universal desire to be remembered, to make a significant contribution to future generations. To do this, we must give our lives away to a cause greater than ourselves”

After the reflection, a floral offering was placed on the tomb of Dr. Rex D. Drilon. It was then followed by the singing of the “Hymn of Assurance” and the prayer and benediction.
Following the memorial service was the dedication of the Dr. Rex D. Drilon Hall, the administration building. Gracing the event was Mr. Lincoln Rex Q. Drilon, who led the ribbon-cutting with Dr. Robles.
For his response, Mr. Drilon thanked the university for remembering and honoring his late father, keeping his memories alive for future Centralians. “Rex D. Drilon was a political scientist, writer, molder of lofty values, and pillar of institutions. His approach to every job was one of dedication and passion. His commitment was unwavering and inspiring.”
Mr. Lincoln went on to share his father’s love for CPU. “In his life, with all the roles he had to play, perhaps the most fulfilling were the ones that involved CPU. His years of service to Central were his happiest years. He loved CPU. Today’s commemoration of his death and the renaming of the administration building in his honor is a capping honor given to a man who loved this institution.”

He thanked Dr. Robles for the university’s love and dedication of keeping his father’s legacy alive. “The keeping of this tradition of remembering was started by CPU former President Agustin A. Pulido, followed by other presidents, but it was during President Robles’ watch that that the tradition of remembering was institutionalized through more varied celebrations that involved more student participation. At this moment, I would like to give thanks to all who made this celebration creatively successful. Perhaps this will be the last Rex. D. Drilon Day that I will attend as an active celebrator, when the veils of old age is upon us and diminishing health takes its throng, when our days are no longer long and endless, and we can no longer outrun the sun, and we are no longer full of fish and vinegar, manmade edifices makes us remember. I thank all of you friends, family, relatives, and classmates who have come.”
In line with the celebration of Dr. Rex D. Drilon Day, the Cultural Affairs Office, the CPU Handbell Ringers, Teatro Sining Atbp., CPU Sari-Saot, CPU Visual Arts Club, and the EXCEL Chorale partnered together to offer a theater performance featuring songs and dance numbers from Broadway musicales The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Annie, and The Sound of Music at the 4th Floor, Henry Luce III Library.
Opening the show was Mr. Lincoln Rex Q. Drilon singing “Try to Remember” with Cultural Affairs Affair Director, Ms. Crista Huyong.
