Afterward, the holding ceremony of the graduates is conducted through their beloved parents.
It can be seen in each parent’s face the happiness that cannot be bought by any amount; which
is followed by the distribution of diplomas, certificates, and alumni ID by the bishop emeritus
of Tandag, Most. Rev. Nerio P. Odchimar. Seeing the graduates walk smartly on the stage as
they receive the fruit of their labour, make the teachers proud as they have produced upright
people who will be useful in the society. Thenceforth, the giving of medals and certificates to
deserving, talented, and excellent students is awarded by the school President, Rev. Fr. Edgar
Bonette Clar. Later, the academic awardee, Honeymae Sacayan gives her speech of gratitude.
It was followed by the singing of the graduation song “Million Dreams”, and the farewell song.
The ceremony has ended with the picture taking by department.
After 4 years of studying at this institution, the graduates of the 34th college graduation
ceremony of the SVPDC have finally finished their studies and go on to serve the community
and hopefully bring a better future for the country. As they leave, we who are left behind can
only bid them farewell and all the worlds luck to guide them through the hardships that they
may face.
CTE CELEBRATES
new memories
By:Liza Millagracia
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! – As the hand of the clock rocks, the
sleepy head in a cold morning searches for the phone, looks at the
time, fixes everything, wears sneakers and ready to go. As early as 4:30
in the morning of October 3, 2018, Wednesday, the College of Teacher
Education students of Saint Vincent de Paul Diocesan College, the BEED,
BSED, and BTVTED together with some of the most active faculty and
staff headed by our very own CTE Program Head Madam Enya M. Gallo
have participated in the fun walk to officially start the education days’
celebration. The starting point of the fun walk is from the School Campus,
with the guidance of the Bislig City Traffic Management Group. The
participants roam around the highway of Barangay Mangagoy. Then, the
CTE students are gathered at the school’s outdoor basketball court to
have their coffee, bread and egg (pamainit). After the meal, the Zumba
Competition follows at 6 in the morning, participated by the 3 aspiring
teams, the Team “Dewey” under the advisory of Madam Enya Gallo,
Team “Thorndike” of Sir Walter Caminos, and Team “Gardner” by Ma’am
Daylinda Laraño. After the competition, the students are given a time to
prepare for the mass.
The CTE is the sponsor of the Holy Mass, wearing the royal
blue and grey coloured with white collar polo shirts. The holy mass has
been presided by our very own College President Rev. Fr. Edgar Bonette
B. Clar. After that, follows the formal opening of the program on the
celebration of the 5th Education Days! It is a three-day celebration
with the theme: “Intelligence plus characters equals true person”. The
laughter and the cheers of the crowd filled the campus gym as the
participants sway, dance, & feel the music in their performances in the
contemporary competition. In the afternoon, the events have challenged
the unity and teamwork of each team with at least twenty participants
from each team to participate in the team building. They shall accomplish
different tasks and challenges to be performed as a group which will
strengthen their bond and determination as part of the team. The day
ends with laughter and contentment as they performed their tasks well.
At exactly 6pm, the Popcorn Night event is highlighted with two movies
(The Meg and A Quiet Place) has been played in the big screen. The
tickets cost 10 pesos for the two movies with free popcorn. Tensions and
screams can be felt and heard from them.
Another day has flipped by. October 4, 2018 marks the second
day of the CTE celebration. Education students are gathered inside
the campus gym to welcome and listen to the guest speaker for the
symposium which was conducted by Mr. Ismael Endaya. He is not just a
good speaker but also a good person who has the skill to influence others
by his thoughts and ideas. He speaks and listens, he throws jokes with a
deep meaning. Yes, the symposium is like a comedy, but too meaningful
to those who understands. In the afternoon, the celebration continues
and each team shows how good they are in ball games from male and
female category. As their sweat drips down and hits the ground, it only
proves their determination to raise the banner of their teams. It has been
tiring yet so fun that it ends almost sunset.
In the evening of the 2nd day celebration, the students showcase their
talents and skills in the literary competition such as; Vocal solo, Duet,
Doble Kara and the search for Mr. & Ms. CTE 2018. The pressure can be
seen in the faces of the participants, but as they move, they give all their
best until the end; of course it is possible with the support from their
teams, friends and loved ones. Mr. Ulysses Dublaz is the newly crowned
Mr. CTE and Ms. Maide Onsayag as the newly crowned Ms. CTE. The
night ends perfectly amazing, and has been talked about before the
students head their way home.
October 5, 2018 the last day of the celebration, is the World Teachers’
Day and is the culminating night. The night is filled with the expression
of love of the students to their beloved living heroes who help them
develop and become equip for the future. Each of the year level prepare
something to present; and as the program goes by, each of the student
is given a chance to say Thank You, I love you, and to give gifts to their
heroes. The celebration is not only for the College of Teacher Education,
but also for all the teachers and students of the college department
of Saint Vincent de Paul Diocesan College. It is a huge success for the
students and teachers, which brings everlasting joy through memories.

Vincentians cherish
the Christmas season By: Jomar Serano & Jumari Liscano
Each of the year level from the different departments has prepared
something special that contributes to the Vincentian community.
The gifts from the heart in which the manito and manita burst
into laughter and nothing to say but Thank You and You made my
day. Also, a brave man with a good physique body but with a girly
heart showcases his talent just to give an entertainment and to
relay the message that everyone deserves to be happy and to be
treated equally. In the end of the party, even though everybody is
tired, but still the Vincentian faces are filled with smile and love,
which is evident; and the essence of loving and sharing symbolize
the unity as one family.
The Lone Bird

Hero in Disguise In the eyes of so, students, a teacher is a dragon, which flares
By: Christian S. Raut out its most dreadful attack at any moment; However, in our
classroom, our teacher is the most valiant dragon who saves every
child from the wall of ignorance. Perhaps, you will think that I
write this just to let him / her feel flattered, but with sincerity I
mean every word written here. In fact, I’m grateful and thankful
to God for having them as one of my friends as mentor as well.
Everyday we both go to school with smile on our faces Our love is unfolded
His smile is my favorite part of him in daily meetings It cannot be break apart
The love of his into mine I appreciate it Even if someone will try to destroy it
His love for me is the thing I never expected No one can tear us apart
Our love will surely be unfolded
With unending love
I know we can achieve it.
I, as a student have been thinking of how our teachers achieve their goals, succeed in life,
and become creators of the next future leaders and professionals. I ask three of our treasured
teachers these three questions, the first one is “how did you achieve your success?”, next
is “what are your struggles before achieving success?” and lastly, “do you have any tips /
footnotes for the students on how they are going to achieve their goals and dreams in life?”
