CPUK batch 2026 gathers together for a final group picture as they celebrate their Completion Ceremony at the University Church on March 27, 2026.

On March 27, 2026, the CPUK held its Completion Ceremony at the University Church. Anchored on the theme “Wonderfully Made, Ready to Grow,” the event served as the formal culmination of a year defined by fruitful learning, the building of new friendships, and the cultivation of Christian values within the student body. The event was hosted by Ms. Carmelle Frances M. Romero, the Administrative Officer from the Office of the President.

With fifty awardees in attendance, the ceremony commenced with heartfelt opening remarks from Calista Soleil G. Caver of K-Goodness, who fondly recounted the class’s shared experiences. President Dr. Rev. Ernest Howard B. Dagohoy extended his regards to the students and their families, followed by the official announcement of the students’ formal transition by Principal Praise E. Glory. Following this, President Dagohoy and Principal Glory, Mrs. May M. Guillem alongside the students’ respective section advisers, Mrs. Ma. Christine T. Getonzo (K-Gentleness & K-Kindness) and Mrs. Sunsen Guirjem – Caspile (K-Mercy & K-Goodness), awarded the fifty students from various sections for their hard work and growth throughout the year.

The celebration was enriched by special numbers that reinforced the day’s spiritual message. 2024 Alumnus David Prince S. Gaje provided a guest performance, which was followed by a moving presentation from the Completers of 2026 themselves. The students performed “Fearfully & Wonderfully Made” and the University’s Alma Mater song, publicly reaffirming their pledge to a Christ-centered life as they prepare for the next stage of their education.

To conclude the event, Rev. Karel Grace D. Victoria, the Christian Education Director at the University Church, offered a closing message based on Proverbs 22:6, challenging the young completers to put their training into practice.

By emphasizing CPUK’s role as the essential foundation for a child’s values and quality education, the ceremony reminded all attendees of the University’s unwavering commitment to nurturing young talents and instilling a lifelong love for learning in its youngest students.
