Carried out at the university theater, the event was held to honor the dedication, perseverance, and outstanding achievements of the graduating interns.
The ceremony began with introductory rites led by Rev. Dexter B. Tad-awan, followed by the Reading of the Word by Ms. Jannah Marie T. Alegre and Ms. Ahrlan Chrystal M. Ambal from Batch Meraki. Ms. Michaela Camille M. Labana, a dedicated clinical instructor, introduced the keynote speaker, Dr. Denise B. Andal, a distinguished alumna from Batch 2016.
Dr. Andal shared that despite the many difficulties and challenges she faced, her family and friends were her main sources of strength and motivation. "Be proud of your achievements, no matter how small. Tap yourself on the back," she said as encouragement. She emphasized the importance of celebrating every win, no matter how insignificant it may seem, reminding everyone that every step forward is a step worth celebrating. It is significant to recognize any progress made, even as one continues to strive toward a bigger goal further down the line.
In her inspiring talk, Dr. Andal emphasized the life-changing impact medical technologists have on their patients, reminding the graduates that every patient is a beloved family member and should be treated with genuine care and empathy. She urged the graduates to "never lose sight of the human faces behind the data, the specimens, and test results," and to approach their work "with empathy, compassion, and cultural sensitivity." This emphasis on compassion and social responsibility perfectly aligns with the celebrated core values of Trinity University of Asia.
Dr. Andal gave prominence to the value of empathy in healthcare, encouraging graduates to view patients as more than just case studies but as parents, grandparents, children, siblings, or friends. โThe true measure of success lies not in personal accolades or achievements, but in the lives you touch and the impact you make," Dr. Andal stated. She stressed that their role is crucial not only in diagnosing and treating diseases but also in advocating for equity and justice in healthcare, especially in underserved communities. By harnessing the power of technology responsibly, she said, they could "reach underserved communities, break geographical barriers, and empower individuals to take control of their health," leaving an unforgettable impression on the new graduates as they embark on a new journey and face the challenging reality of healthcare.
The ceremony continued with the awarding of the Certificate of Appreciation and leading of the Apostle's Creed. Rev. Tad-awan also conducted a special blessing of the TUA stole, awards, and batch token, adding a spiritual significance to the event.
A memorable part of the event was the Presentation of Awards and Certificates by Dr. Mark D. Francisco, the CMT Dean, and Dr. Gisela DA. Luna, the University President. The ceremony featured the graduates' hard-earned accomplishments, outstanding academic performance, and clinical excellence. Ms. Rona Maye G. Trinidad, the Master of Science in Medical Technology Chairperson, performed the Presentation of the TUA stole. Dean Mark D. Francisco then delivered a congratulatory message, followed by a Message of Gratitude from Ms. Sophia Nicole G. Advincula, the Batch 2024 Representative.
After the Message of Gratitude, a special batch video was played, accompanied by the song "Long Live" by Taylor Swift. It was a wholesome compilation of photos capturing memorable moments and milestones from the graduates' journey. The video projected their experiences, friendships, and achievements throughout their time at TUA-CMT, imprinting a sense of nostalgia and pride among the audience. It highlighted all the โmagic they made" and reminded everyone that "they will indeed be remembered" for their hard work and dedication.
The ceremony concluded with a Benediction, Dismissal, and Asperges, providing a moment of reflection and blessing for the graduates. The event ended on a high note with the traditional Trinity March, a spirited, nostalgic, and symbolic finale that left a lasting impression on all attendees.
The Recognition Day was an evidence to the values and spirit of Trinity University of Asia's College of Medical Technology. It celebrated the accomplishments of its graduates and prepared them for the long and challenging journey in the field of medical technology. As these new medical technologists embark on their professional paths, we can confidently anticipate a promising future in healthcare. With a strong foundation and the support of their community, these graduates will carry forward the legacy of excellence and dedication instilled in them by their alma mater, upholding the high standards set by Trinity University of Asia.
