NEWS UPDATE II PNUSL Holds Convocation Program for its 31st Founding Anniversary Celebration

To mark the 31st Founding Anniversary of the Philippine Normal University South Luzon (PNUSL), a convocation that centered on the Theme: “Service in the Light of Excellence and Inclusive Progress” was held on July 1, 2024, at the PNUSL Gymnasium. The event celebrated the institution's enduring commitment to fostering academic excellence and inclusive growth.

The celebration began with a Doxology and the National Anthem, performed by Koro Filipino. Following this, Engr. Maria Gracia R. Samson, the Coordinator of Events Management Unit, delivered her opening remarks. She emphasized our steadfast commitment to truth, excellence, and service, honoring the lasting legacy of our institution. She said that service, central to our mission, is defined by compassion and integrity. Excellence is pursued relentlessly, marked by the journey through challenges and the pursuit of knowledge and innovation. “We strive for inclusive progress, ensuring no one is left behind, and our university remains a hub of diverse culture and ideas, fostering empathy, respect, and understanding.” she added.
Moreover, Dr. Amor F. Loniza, the Dean for Academics and the Hub, shared an inspirational message. Reflecting on our theme, "Service in the Light of Excellence and Inclusive Progress," she traced the university’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming a beacon of educational excellence. “Our commitment to service and education has been our guiding light. Striving for excellence is ingrained in our culture. We continuously pursue knowledge, innovation, and improvement. Our commitment to progress ensures that everyone, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive. We celebrate diversity and foster an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential,” she stated.
Afterwards, Koro Filipino performed an intermission number. Then, Dr. Reynald M. Cacho, the Director for Research, Extension, Quality Assurance, and Development, introduced the guest speaker. He highlighted the speaker's unwavering commitment to education and extensive experience in teaching English to both Foreign and Filipino learners, as well as his notable achievements as an educator.

Mr. Arnel M. Camba Jr., the 2024 Gawad Sulo for Eminent Alumni Awardee, captivated the audience with a profound reflection. He defined service as selfless dedication and the pursuit of excellence, stating, "As Filipinos, we often ponder how best to serve our country and others." PNUSL, he noted, exemplifies these values, nurturing educators who embody service and excellence despite challenges. Reflecting on his journey as a transfer student from PNU Manila, he recalled a transformative moment in the library that reshaped his perspective. Initially expecting to leave for home, he was instead urged to change his shoes and join students cleaning the campus, gardening, and grass cutting. Despite initial confusion about its relevance to his English course, he acknowledged how these tasks instilled a spirit of excellence and humility. "To be excellent yet humble people," he emphasized.

He also highlighted that excellence is often seen as glamorous, requiring applause and recognition. However, true excellence is often an act of service unnoticed by others. Despite not graduating with honors or fame, he attributed his success to unwavering dedication and efforts. He asserted that excellence starts within us. He urged all to believe in themselves and persevere, even when efforts go unrecognized. His message resonated with PNUSL's mission of inclusive progress, promoting societal benefit through diversity and perspective.
