Pasidungog 2018 to touch base with ‘millennials’

This year’s Pasidungog: Honoring the Graduates of 2018 is expected to bring out the best pop musical show in the university with what Central Philippine University Alumni Association, Inc. (CPUAAI) President, Engr. Isagani J. Jalbuena, calls “a blow out for the graduates.” CPUAAI and the CPU Administration, in cooperation with the CPU Student Republic (CPUR), decided to involve the “now generation,” or more popularly known as the millennials, to make the event timely and more relevant.

“The young people will be a significant crowd at the Half Moon Drive in CPU,” Jalbuena said. Pasidungog will be on April 20 at 6 PM at the Half Moon grounds. The highlight of the event will be “Jamming at Central” where the College of Engineering Band and the University Senior High School Band will showcase their acts. DJ Alvie and DJ Los Padilla will follow with another special performance. A singular number by the CPU Sari-Saot Dance Troupe with Jan Floyed Gelario, Centralian Star 2017, will also take center stage. The program will be hosted by Mr. Geroel Salvador and Ms. Kay Arden Gallo.

Engr. Jalbuena, on behalf of the Alumni Association, and Dr. Teodoro C. Robles, on behalf of the University, will give their welcome remarks during the Opening Program. CPUR President 2018-2019, Mr. John Michael Suelo, will deliver his message before the award and recognition of Ms. Raphah Ganubay Cortel, board topnotcher at the 2017 Psychometrician Licensure Exams.

Rev. F. Neil G. Jalando-on, Director, CPU Office for Communications will deliver a prayer for the graduates of 2018.

Pasidungog is held every year to recognize and honor the graduates of Central Philippine University and recent Board Exam passers of CPU.T

Showcasing the best of Centralian entrepreneurship

Art Park+s exhibit at Festive Walk encourages grassroots love for the arts.

Advert 427 (Exhibitor, Planning and Management) under Dr. Lenny Rose P. Mucho, Director of the Review, Continuing Education and Consultancy Center and faculty of the College of Business and Management, recently conducted two events that showcased the merging of entrepreneurial skills and community social responsibility. Divided into two groups, the class held two separate events: an Entrep Week entitled, “Paradigm: Blazing the Entrepreneurial Spirit” held at the CPU Half Moon and the “Art Park,” held at the Festive Walk in Megaworld Iloilo.

From March 5-9, 2018, the Entrep Week invited small scale and kiosk business owners to showcase their products and services. It also featured Centralian artists that serenaded Centralians from 4 PM onwards at the Half Moon Drive. Rae Marie G. Leong-on, 3rd year BSEM, shared that one of the goals of their activity was to connect local entrepreneurs and promote their products to Centralians. “Our preparation took three months. We really want to connect with our local entrepreneurs and to give their products a chance to be known by Centralians and other markets as well.”

Also part of the activity is “Entrep Talk” which invited Founder and General Manager of B Lifestyle Complez Mr. Roy Betita, Mrs. Richel Gorriceta-Sucgang, owner of Bhive Hotel, owner of Moana Day Spa, Mr. Joebert Cautivar and Prime Minister of the 11th Parliament of the CPUR and TOSP National Winner Engr. Riego Garcia. The said event was held on March 13, 2018 at the Educational Media Center.

“Art Park,” on the other hand, held an art exhibit and lifestyle bazaar, spoken word poetry, music jam, and a fun run from February 14-18, 2018.

According to Dr. Mucho, the goal of the activity was for the students to gain hands-on experience on handling entrepreneurial roles before graduation. “Both activities were very well attended. The goal really is for them to know how to interact with people as future entrepreneurs, to get sponsors, and to negotiate. The activity also aims to develop their confidence and expose them to this kind of work.
