In her welcome message, Organizational Development-Human Resource Management (OD-HRM) Director Dr. Lourdes Angela F. Piñero described the occasion as a time to recognize the passion, dedication, and faithful service of the University's personnel.
She said that behind every milestone achieved by the University were individuals whose dedication and hard work often went beyond what was required.
Piñero noted that the 27 awardees embodied the values of character, competence, and faith that define the Silliman community, adding that their years of service reflected lives touched, relationships built, lessons shared, and countless acts of service rendered to students, colleagues, and stakeholders.
She also emphasized that each year of service represented perseverance and a continuing commitment to the University's vision of becoming a Christian institution leading in total human development for the well-being of society and the environment.
Speaking on behalf of the faculty awardees, College of Nursing Dean Asst. Prof. Theorose June Q. Bustillo reflected on the loyalty she shared with her fellow honorees, particularly the four awardees from the College of Nursing.
“Over the years, the world outside has offered many lucrative opportunities. In our field, the temptation of better-paying jobs, especially abroad, is always present. There were many chances for us to look elsewhere, but the unique ‘Silliman spirit’ within us held us fast. This is particularly true for the four of us from the College of Nursing who are receiving this award today,” Bustillo explained.
Representing the staff awardees, College of Engineering and Design Secretary Anie D. Escarilla expressed gratitude for the recognition, describing the 20-year milestone as a journey marked by learning, challenges, growth, and unwavering commitment.
Escarilla recalled that many of the awardees began their careers at Silliman at a young age.
“Looking back, many of us entered this institution young. And through the years, we learned many things—not only the technical skills needed in our jobs, but also patience, understanding, teamwork, discipline, and commitment,” Escarilla said.
She added that SU had become more than a workplace for many of the awardees. It had become a second home where they found purpose, belonging, meaningful friendships, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
The recognition ceremony served as an expression of gratitude and admiration for the loyal and dedicated personnel whose contributions continued to strengthen the University community.
