Under the early light that casts a quiet brilliance, IAUโs 33rd Commencement Exercises and Graduation Ceremony unfolded, gathering graduands of Batch Lumari alongside their families, mentors, and the academic community in a moment that marked both culmination and takeoff. The ceremony opened with a dignified Entrance of Colors, followed by the formal procession of IAU Administrators, faculty and staff together with the Class of 2026 as each step echoing years of perseverance into a single defining moment.
One of the most resonant moments of the ceremony came through the words of the esteemed guest of honor and Commencement speaker, Gov. Pamela S. Baricuatro, Governor of the Province of Cebu. Drawing from her own journey, she spoke of discipline shaped by challenges and the humility to serve others. She reminded graduates that growth is often forged in unseen moments, urging them to remain grounded in service and steadfast in the face of uncertainty. โ๐๐ฏ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ, ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฌ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด, ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐บโ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ท๐ฆ, ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ,โ she shared, leaving a call for graduates to lead with both competence and heart.
Marking the formal transition from aspirants to professionals, the program proceeded with the Capping Ceremony, a defining rite of passage for the Class of 2026. The Petition for Capping was delivered by Ms. Kim D. Klippert, Summa Cum Laude, and duly accepted by Dr. Jovenal Toring, IAU President and Founder. One by one, graduands and associate degree holders were presented and recognized by their respective instructors. In that moment, Batch LUMARI, true to its name, stood as a collective light, illuminating not only their own journeys but the hopes of those who stood behind them. Eyes welled and smiles were exchanged as proud families witnessed years of sacrifice turn into milestones.
Anchoring the graduates to their roots, a Pledge of Loyalty was led by Hon. Nestor G. Paypa, Alumnus Regent, reaffirming the values instilled within them as Aerospacers. As the ceremony drew to a close, voices rose in unison for the final singing of the IAU Hymn, no longer as students, but as graduates.
They are ready to shine through uncertainty, to guide with purpose and illuminate the paths that lie ahead. Congratulations, Batch ๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐!
