With the theme “Inward Light; Outward Path,” graduating students of Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) gathered for the much-anticipated Graduation Introspection 2025 on June 2 and 4, 2025, at the CBSUA Atrium. The reflective event was spearheaded by the Multi-Faith Unit under the Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS).
The introspection served as a culminating experience for the Class of 2025, blending moments of inner formation, spiritual reflection, and heartfelt gratitude.
The morning sessions were led by registered guidance counselors, Mrs. Eileen dL. Quitangon and Mrs. Rossel S. Guimpol, who guided students through activities and reflections centered on self-awareness, personal growth, and purpose. Their sessions encouraged the graduates to look within and acknowledge the values they have cultivated during their academic journey.
In the afternoon, Rev. Fr. Rex Luis L. Hidalgo facilitated an enriching session centered on the Story of Maya, a narrative used to highlight the enduring virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love. Through storytelling and guided reflection, students were invited to consider the deeper meaning behind their academic achievements and life transitions.
A poignant highlight of the two-day event was the “Hearts of Affirmation” and Candle Lighting Ceremony, where graduates exchanged words of encouragement, rekindled friendships, and reminisced about their CBSUA experience. With candles in hand, students stood in symbolic unity, celebrating not only academic success but also the community that shaped them.
The event concluded with a heartfelt message from Ma’am Jessel Anne P. Rodriguez, Director of OSAS, who expressed gratitude to the graduates and the organizers. She commended the students for their resilience and encouraged them to carry the light they have nurtured at CBSUA into the wider world.
Graduation Introspection 2025 was more than a ceremony, it was a meaningful pause allowing the CBSUA graduates to honor their past, embrace the present, and look forward to the path ahead with courage and clarity. | 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯 𝘖𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳
