Central Philippine University Junior High School Vice Governor Edwin E. Laru-an Jr. proudly claimed the title of Boy City Councilor during the Iloilo City Boys and Girls Week Celebration 2025, held from October 20 to 26, 2025.

The Boys and Girls Week Celebration is an annual initiative spearheaded by the Iloilo City Government in partnership with the Department of Education and youth organizations, honoring the potential of young leaders to shape the city’s future.

Representing CPUJHS, Laru-an served as the youth counterpart of Hon. Mandrie T. Malabor at the Iloilo City Hall, where selected participants took on the roles of local government officials to experience public service firsthand.

The weeklong celebration aimed to enhance leadership and forge a deeper understanding of governance among Iloilo City’s youth. Through various activities, delegates were given the opportunity to shadow their official counterparts, participate in simulated council sessions, and contribute to policy discussions centered around youth.

Laru-an’s achievement reflects not only his leadership within the CPU Junior High School Student Council but also the institution’s ongoing commitment to honoring Central Philippine University’s values.

Beauty, Bravery, and Brilliance: Salarza and Pastolero Reign as Mr. and Ms. JHS 2025

Article written by: Freyja Calonzo

Central Philippine University Junior High School crowned Julz Justin Adrian A. Salarza (10-Saturn) and Lian Ayezel D. Pastolero (9-Narra) as the new Mr. and Ms. JHS 2025.

Salarza spoke on bullying, urging students to fight it with kindness and faith:
“By preventing and spreading the word of God, to tell them, and forgive to let go.”

Pastolero inspired the crowd with her reminder that character outweighs grades:
“Smartness is a choice, not something we are born with. We must accept late bloomers because growth comes in time. At CPU, we learn values that reflect Christ’s likeness. That is why values and moral character matter more than grades—because grades are just numbers. What truly counts is within.”

Both winners earned the crown not just with confidence, but with advocacies that uplifted their peers and reminded students that true excellence comes from faith, courage, and character.

To showcase the beauty, talent, and advocacy of its students, Central Philippine University (CPU) staged the Mr. and Ms. Junior High School 2025 competition in Jaro, Iloilo City, on September 17, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Ten contestants—five male and five female—competed for the titles. Among them, Lian D. Pastolero of Grade 9-Narra and Julz Justin Adrian A. Salarza of Grade 10-Saturn claimed the crowns as Mr. and Ms. JHS 2025.

“Being smart is a choice, not something we are just born with. We should welcome late bloomers because growth takes time. Here in CPU, we are taught values that reflect Christ’s character. That is why values and good character matter more than grades—because grades are only numbers. What truly counts is what’s inside,” said Pastolero.

“By sharing God’s Word, we learn to forgive and to let go. That is how we grow in faith and help others find peace,” shared Salarza.

During the event, other winners were also acknowledged. Candidate No. 1 Pardilla and Candidate No. 1 Orpeza were named the Fourth Runner-up. Third Runner-Up awards were given to Candidate No. 3, Liza, and Candidate No. 4, Sepe. Candidate No. 4, Wechsler, was given Mr. Jaguar, and Candidate No. 3, Sirilan, was awarded Ms. Jaguar. In the meantime, Candidate No. 5 Mandal won Ms. Pro Board, while Candidate No. 2 Capanang was entitled Mr. Pro Board.

The competition closed with all contestants taking the stage as the audience applauded their performances. Organizers then announced the winners, presented the minor and major awards, and capped the event with a group photo of candidates and faculty.
