CPU Office of Communications Director Rev. Francis Neil-Jalando-on gives a short reflection.

Central Philippine University held a dedication service for the newly renovated House Number 3 on July 29, 2019 at the American Compound on campus. CPU Office of Communications Director Rev. Francis Neil Jalando-on officiated the ceremony.

The program started with an opening prayer led by CPU Purchasing Officer Mrs. Hermely Jalando-on. CPU Gonzaga Mansion, Guest House and House Number 3 Coordinator Dr. Myrna Lucenio and Filipino Chinese Youth Culture Promotion Incorporated (FCYCP Inc.) founder Mr. Xu Bin gave their opening remarks. Rev. Jalando-on also led the special prayer for the dorm.

House Number 3 was renovated to accommodate Chinese students who are enrolled in the Doctor of Management program. The dorm will also be used for housing during seminars and conferences in the university.

“We would like to thank CPU for accommodating the Chinese students. As much as possible, they would want to stay and be housed inside the campus.  The renovation of House Number 3 will be of great use to international students who wish to stay here,” Xu said.

The dedication ceremony was attended by faculty members of the College of Hospitality Management, and Engr. Rhett Allan B. Baldonado, Supervisor, Facilities Maintenance & Services.
