A total of 124 graduates received their degrees during the 2nd Commencement Exercises of the College of Medical Laboratory Science held last June 30, 2019 at the Rose Memorial Auditorium.

The graduates were addressed by Dr. Jeremiah Butch T. Gemarino, administrator of Palawan Baptist Hospital and a proud CPU alumnus.

In his speech, Dr. Gemarino challenged the graduates to be of service to the country and the community. He also emphasized the importance of Christian faith and values in one’s pursuit for excellence. And that we are all called by the Lord to be a channel of His love and kindness in our chosen endeavors.
