The retirees and those who have served CPU for 35 years up to 50 years with the CPU President, Dr. Ernest Howard B. Dagohoy.
Dedication and commitment were celebrated as the Central Philippine University (CPU) recognized the remarkable service of its Faculty and Staff through the Long Service Awards in 2023. The prestigious Service Awards were bestowed upon individuals who have consistently contributed their skills and dedication to the University over the years.
On December 7, 2023, the Long Service Awards Program unfolded with grace and gratitude at the Rose Memorial Auditorium, acknowledging the collective efforts and enduring commitment of the awardees. Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian, Senior Pastor of the University Church gave a devotional emphasizing that work at CPU is a vocation and not just a mere job. University President Dr. Ernest Howard B. Dagohoy greeted everyone and thanked the awardees for their hard work and dedication for the glory of God.
The awards were presented across various categories, recognizing milestones of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and up to an impressive 50 years of service. The accolades also extended to retirees who, in their retirement, continue to serve their alma mater. Additionally, the program paid tribute to individuals posthumously. After the awarding, two responses from the awardees were heard – from the Staff, Mr. James Peter T. Trasporto, and from the Faculty, Ms. Ma. Nilfa S. Salanio.
This year, the esteemed long service awards were bestowed upon the following dedicated individuals:
