Prof. Edgar A. Eriman, Director, University Senior High School with the faculty and staff.
The Central Philippine University Senior High School held their Excellence Awards to honor and recognize their students’ achievements at the Rose Memorial Auditorium on April 11, 2019.
Rev. Zeus M. Familiaran, faculty, SHS, led the opening prayer. It was then followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem with Mr. Gabrielle Fran C. Domingo, Grade 12, NMPLR-2 conducting.
For the opening remarks, Dr. Irving Domingo L. Rio, CPU Vice President for Academic Affairs, thanked the parents and the guardians of the awardees for trusting the university with their children’s education: “Foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the parents and guardians for entrusting your children’s education to Central Philippine University.”
Dr. Irving Domingo L. Rio, CPU Vice President for Academic Affairs, congratulated the students, parents and SHS faculty and staff for a job well done.
Dr. Rio goes on to talk about how excellence is a matter of choice: “You are here this morning because you made a choice—a commitment [to place] a high priority on your studies. Graduating with honors is not a matter of luck or chance but a matter of choice through the grace of God.”
Mr. Ferdinand T. Monoso, faculty, SHS, introduced guest speaker, Pastor Normandy S. Notes, Head Pastor, Ikthus Nextgen.
Pastor Notes’ message shared two testimonies: the first was that of a college dropout and the second was that of an academic achiever: “I have a friend who has been an academic achiever since his elementary days. He also graduated top of his class in high school and in college. But in spite of his achievements, it seems that he didn’t know what he wanted to do in life. He can’t decide to marry or not marry or what career path to [take].”
He continued, “I have another friend, who was a college dropout. He also studied in CPU but along the way, for some reason, he dropped out and started his way out [into] the world. He got married early and started his own business. By God’s grace and providence, he was blessed with a wonderful family and became one of the most successful businessmen in our city. Now, he is a billionaire.”
Pastor Normandy S. Notes, Head Pastor, Ikthus Nextgen, encouraged awardees to pursue a personal journey with God.
According to him, 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 and 11-12 highlight the beauty in diversity by excelling in many fields: “My friends, especially students and parents, I want you to see success from a different perspective. I want you to see success from a different vantage point. I want you to know that being at the top of your class academically does not always equate to happiness and success in life or if you don’t finish your formal education, you have a slim chance of succeeding in life. In Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, he tells us that it is not wise to compare one’s definition of success from the other because while it is the same God and the same Spirit who gives us all these talents, gifts and skills, not all of us have the same talents, gifts and skills. Some excel in academics and some excel in sports.”
A celebration of God’s faithfulness in the lives of our awardees -the Honors and Awards Program is a culmination of a fruitful school year.
As a CPU alumnus, Pastor Notes emphasized that the university’s goal is to create a spiritual and academic environment that caters to all: “This is what CPU is seeking to achieve—unity in diversity, quality education for all. CPU aims to raise students who not only excel in academics, in sports, but also in music and in the arts. But at the end of all this excellence in these fields is not self-serving or self-seeking glory, but for the good of everybody.”
After the message, the awarding of certificates for academic and non-academic awards were given by Dr. Rio and Rev. Joniel Howard H. Gico, Vice President for Student Affairs, and Prof. Edgar A. Eriman, University Senior High School Director, assisting.
The closing prayer was led by Pastor Michael Catamora, faculty, SHS. It was then followed by the singing of the Alma Mater Song with Mr. Domingo, conducting.
Prof. Edgar A. Eriman, Director, University Senior High School with the graduates.
An ode to our graduates—The Central Philippine University Senior High School held its 2nd Commencement Exercises at the Rose Memorial Auditorium on April 12, 2019.
The invocation was led by Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian, Senior Pastor, University Church. It was then followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem with Mr. Gabrielle Fran C. Domingo, Grade 12, NMPLR-2, conducting.
For the words of welcome, CPU President, Dr. Teodoro C. Robles thanked the parents and guardians for partnering with the University for the senior high school education of their children: “We are thankful that your parents have partnered with Central Philippine University for your senior high school education. This is the end of the third phase of your life as a student and by the next school year, you will be ready to proceed to another four or more years of college.”
Commencement exercises are reminders of God’s favor and promotion.
Dr. Robles goes on to highlight the importance of the graduates’ trust in the university, their parents’ support, and most importantly, their faith in God in their success: “We are thankful that you are here because you believe in Central Philippine University and your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ has sustained you all these years through the many challenges you have encountered, and with great success, you have [finished] the two years of your [senior high school] life. We are also thankful that your parents and family members are always supportive of what you are doing. We know that they will continue to support you as you march to the next phase of your life.”
Ms. Karmida Paz D. Narciso, faculty, SHS, introduced guest speaker, Rev. Dr. Jerson B. Narciso, General Secretary, Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches.
Rev. Dr. Narciso, in his message entitled “Be All God has Created You to Be,” talked about the importance of knowing one’s purpose in the Lord: “In our journey, it is important for us to know and remember who we are, who we are becoming, why we are here, and where we are headed to. These questions are necessary because they remind us of what is most important and they keep us focused on our deepest goals.”
According to Rev. Dr. Narciso, to be all God has created one to be, one must, first, know oneself. To succeed in life, there is a need for a sense of self-understanding and purpose. Second, one must know that the journey requires, on his/her part, a clear and God-centered vision. And lastly, to be successful in the journey, one needs to learn how to walk harmoniously with significant others: “As you go forward from here, may you be assured that the Lord of the journey is always with you. Perhaps, at times you might be overwhelmed by the trials and difficulties of life. But faith in God can help you look at life positively and give you hope and joy in the midst of challenges.”
After the message, Prof. Edgar A. Eriman, Director, University Senior High School, presented the graduates. Dr. Robles led the confirmation of the graduates and the awarding of diplomas. He was assisted by Prof. Eriman; Dr. Irving Domingo L. Rio, CPU Vice President for Academic Affairs; Rev. Joniel Howard H. Gico, CPU Vice President for Student Affairs; and Dr. Florence P. Bogacia, CPU Vice President for Finance and Administration.
Danniella Grace M. Payo, with high honors, gave the response on behalf of the graduates. In her message, she especially honored her parents, the parents of the graduates, and the faculty and staff of the University Senior High School for their sacrifices to get the graduates to another milestone in their lives. She likened their time through senior high school to riding on a bus, with friends, family, and teachers who lend color and wisdom to their journey. At the end of her message, she challenged her fellow graduates to think about who should be driving the bus. She acknowledged that for her, it is the Lord Almighty.
Following the response was the prayer of dedication for the graduates led by Rev. Gico. CPUAAI President, Engr. Isagani J. Jalbuena then led the induction of the graduates to the CPUAAI community.
Ending the ceremony, Mr. Domingo led the singing of the Alma Mater Song. After which, Rev. Roger T. Quimpo, Associate Pastor for Outreach, University Church gave the benediction.
Coggins’ commitment to the Lord has raised many Filipino Christian young leaders.
May Angeline Coggins was the Chairperson of the Faculty Council of Central Philippine College during the years 1946-1947. The Faculty Council was created as an emergency measure, in the absence of a College President, to manage and operate Central Philippine College as an administrative-executive body. This Faculty Council later ceased to function when Prof. J. Morris Forbes arrived to serve as the President of Central Philippine College.
Miss Coggins, as she was fondly called, was also the Dean of the BMTS or Baptist Missionary Training School—a Bible school for Women. This was later merged with the College of Theology. Miss Coggins later on became the Dean of the College of Theology in 1951. She was described as someone who heroically helped pick up the broken pieces of a war-destroyed college and did the job with courage and determination. She was respected by the faculty for her fairness and tact, loved by the students for her deep personal influence.
On July 4, 1946, Miss Coggins represented the United States of America during a memorable ceremony in Iloilo. On that day (the Independence Day of the Philippines at that time), she lowered the American Flag from its position at the top of the pole and watched with joy as the flag of the free and independent Republic took its place.
She was theologically trained with two master’s degrees—Master of Divinity from Andover Newton Theological School and Master of Theology from Gordon College, School of Theology.
In 1947, Central Philippine College had been in operation for two years after World War II. The destroyed campus had by then been rebuilt with the Normal College (the old term for the College of Education), the College of Engineering, and the College of Commerce already running. Ms. Coggins gave a vivid illustration of what life at Central after the ravages of war by likening it to climbing to the mountaintop.
In her message to the graduates of 1947 entitled “Fulfill our dreams and His purposes,” she wrote, “To one who looks at Central Philippine College from the angle of its place in the life of our new Republic, a school year can be compared to the climbing of a high mountain. The ascent has its trials and its joys. There are times when the “going is hard,” when each new step requires more strength than one seems to have and the tendency is to wonder whether the goal is worth the effort. There are resting places from which the vistas are inspiring and the air is exhilarating. But only when one reaches the top is one in a position to judge the true worth of the climb.”
Miss Coggins put forward a challenge that we must not stop climbing even when reach the mountain top. Instead, we must look for other mountains to climb: “But from the mountain top, one does not only look back upon the path up which one has trod. One looks ahead, across the valleys to higher, more glorious peaks and vistas. We, whose hearts and lives are closely bound to Central, look ahead to greater accomplishments, finer buildings and equipment, a stronger and more adequate leadership, and a larger place in God’s purposes for our Philippines. No one person can bring to fruition these dreams. The Alumni, the present student body, the professors and teachers, the Trustees and our friends are needed. As we all join hands and together reach up to grip the strong hand of our God, we shall fulfil our dreams and His purposes.”
In another message, Miss Coggins compared CPC to a sharp instrument of the Surgeon, Jesus Christ: “If a surgeon is to operate successfully and remove the malignant part and restore health and vigor, an instrument is an essential. And a keen, sharp instrument does the work much better than a poor, dull one. Yet neither instrument is of any value for good apart from its yieldness to the hand of the surgeon. CPC was established upon that conviction. A youth trained to think clearly, independently, and honestly, and yielded to the Master is of infinitely more value than the youth who is not trained or spiritually equipped. However, training without glad commitment to Him who have to youth his life, his mind, his ability to think and love and choose is like a Stradivarius violin without the master violinist—nay, it is like a sharpened weapon in the hands of a criminal.”
Miss Coggins was confident of the future of Central Philippine College. Looking at Central Philippine University now since 1905, her words have been proven true: “The hopes for the future of Central Philippine College are as the promises of God. The school began as a dream, a God-inspired dream, in the hearts of American friends who believed that their gifts invested in the name of Christ, for the Christian education of Filipino youth would bring rich returns to the Philippine nation and to God.”
Later in 1965, Central Philippine University conferred to Miss Coggins, Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa. On April 26, 1975, on her 77th birthday, the Bacolod City Council passed a resolution making her “Adopted Daughter” of Bacolod City, Philippines. She worked as matron, providing spiritual and physical care to countless boys and girls from 1924-1940 in the Boys & Girls Dormitories, Provincial High School, Bacolod City. She was called the affectionate name “Manang May” by the many people that she ministered upon.
May the missionary spirit of Miss Coggins remind us of what it means to do mission: “It is my conviction that God has a special place of service for the Philippines in His plan for His world. I am most happy to have a small part in helping fulfill his purpose in and through our Islands here.”

Go green! Supporters of the Reform Party campaigns for their national candidates.
CPU Student Republic (CPUR) held this year’s general elections on Friday, March 15, 2019. Forty-four precincts opened to 10,040 registered voters. Meanwhile, a special election for the Graduate School and College of Law was held earlier. One thousand students voted on Saturday, March 9 for special election.
A Fierce Koalisyonera – The Koalisyon Party takes pride in its 33 year history in CPU and its passionate supporters.
Also, last Thursday, March 14, candidates, party members, and students assembled for a grand rally at the Rose Memorial Auditorium.
In this year’s CPUR elections, 2 candidates ran for the presidency, 2 for the vice presidency, 16 for the senatorial slate. For the various colleges and units, 19 ran for the gubernatorial positions and 17 for the vice governorship and 23 as representatives. There were also those who ran to be one of the eight members of the board of the student council in their respective colleges and units.
CPU President, Dr. Teodoro C. Robles and CPU College of Engineering Dean, Engr. Dany C. Molina with Susan P. Jovero, BS Chemical Engineering, Batch 1982.
Susan P. Jovero, BS Chemical Engineering, Batch 1982, presented, on behalf of her batch, the receipt of the initial donation worth 35,000 pesos to University President, Dr. Teodoro C. Robles, and College of Engineering Dean, Engr. Danny C. Molina, on March 12, 2019 at Dr. Rex D. Drilon Building (formerly known as the Administration Building).
The said donation is intended for the construction of the walkway going to the Engineering Building. Mrs. Jovero shared that they started preparing for this project two years ago and the funds were collected last January 9, 2019 when their batch had their most recent reunion. She also emphasized that this is only the first of donations that her batch intends to make. Dr. Teodoro C. Robles suggested that the construction of the walkway be started after this school year’s graduation and be finished before the rainy season starts.
Engr. Danny C. Molina, in response, acknowledged the effort of the BS in Chemical Engineering batch 1982 and expressed his thanks.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Jovero encourages the Engineering students to do well in their fields since the alumni are supporting them: “I would like to let them see who we are now because of the nurturing and the mentoring [we received from] the professors… in the College of Engineering, and the education that CPU had provided us, especially [for giving us the foundation for our faith in] our Lord Jesus. He really is the reason why we are now what we are.”
Engr. Molina and Dr. Robles then called on other alumni of different courses and batches around the world to attend the Alumni Grand Homecoming on February 5-9, 2020 at Central Philippine University
