City College churns out first batch of grads

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The City College of San Fernando on Tuesday churned out its first batch of graduates in grand commencement rites at the Mini Convention Center of Heroes Hall.

Some 322 graduates received their baccalaureate diplomas in Business Administration, Education, Business Administration and Information Technology from City College officials led by Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, Vice Mayor Edwin Santiago, City Councilors Renato Agustin, Jimmy Lazatin, Noel Tulabut, Dein Henson, Ruperto Dumlao, Joselito Ocampo, Redentor Halili, Alex Patio, Rosemary Calimlim, Arnel Sicat and Carla Jean Panganiban, together with the college’s Board of Trustees—Vice-Chairman Dr. Lourdes Javier, Commission on Higher Education Regional Director Dr. Virginia Akiate, ALCU President Prof. Arlida Pame, Faculty president Engr. Nelson Lingat, Supreme Student Council head Janine Tapnio, and Board Secretary lawyer Christian Ferdinand Caylao.

Rodriguez told Sun.Star Pampanga that the historic graduation of the first batch of City College scholars is “a dream come true” for him and the students.

“We are indeed very proud of our first batch of graduates. Now, as the city assists them in getting decent jobs, we look forward to more students after them pursuing our quest for excellence as champions of quality education,” he said.

Aligned as a priority in the City Government’s eight-point agenda dubbed “Edukasyong Abot Kamay, Kinabukasan Abot Tanaw”, the City College provides high school graduates from poor families the opportunity to finish tertiary education for free on courses of their choice.

“We are looking at expanding the course offerings. Of course, these would all be responsive to the need of the times. It also augurs well with our vision to establish community colleges in strategic areas in the Third District soon, given the opportunity,” added Rodriguez.

He stressed that one must have “the determination to go through dreams and courage to face all the challenges that confronts the students’ and graduates’ journey through life.”

“We urge the graduates to become globally competitive in their own fields and help in making the city a habitat of human excellence,” he said.

Last year, the City College also produced its first batch of graduates in tech-voc courses and the special education for physically-challenged students.
