As they step into another significant milestone in their journey toward becoming the future Doctors of Veterinary Medicine, the 3rd Batch of the College of Veterinary Medicine, proudly received their pins as a symbol of their unwavering commitment to excellence, compassion, and service. With the pin becoming a reminder of the responsibility they now carry, it will also serve its purpose that will guide them throughout journey.
Living up to their batch name, โTandikanโ, the students reflect the unique qualities of the bird it represents: Beauty, Grace, Resilience, and Strength. Like the Tandikan, they have showed that they can rise above challenges, show up with courage, and dedicated in pursuing their dreams.
During their oath-taking, officiated by Dr. Arlyn Chokowen, she emphasized the symbolism behind raising the right hand as a gesture that embodies sincerity and accountability, to remind the students to always uphold integrity in both their words and actions.
As the highlight of the ceremony, Guest Speaker, Dr. Donna Mae C. Rosario shared four guiding principles that will serve as their foundation in reaching their goals, the 4Ps: Perseverance, Passion, Patience, and Prayer. These are not just words, they are the values that will lead them through every challenge, every lesson, and every success on their journey.
Today, they received their pins to wear them with pride, honor, and integrity. And soon, in the future, they will carry the title as Doctors of Veterinary Medicine with purpose, compassion, and unwavering dedication.
Warmest Congratulations, Batch Tandikan! May you all keep on striving, keep on believing, and keep on making a difference.
