A group photo of the participants and facilitators during the virtual leadership training seminar.
For the first time amidst the COVID19 pandemic, an interactive virtual Leadership Training Seminar for recognized student organizations was conducted by the Student Development and Programs Office with CPU alumni, J Vincent Gasataya and Albert Jan Matthew Java as facilitators last February 19, 2022.
Gasataya and Java, the LTS facilitators are true-blooded Centralians, CPU Loyalty awardees, and were active leaders during their student days.
Gasataya, a Cum laude BS ECE graduate, was a regional finalist of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) and was once the chairman of the TOSP- Victors while Java, a Cum laude BS Accty graduate, Alma Mater awardee and former CPU Republic president, was a national finalist in the TOSP, No. 2 awardee and leader in the Outstanding Students of Iloilo (TOSIA).
A representative of CPU Teatro, Sining, Atbp., Regimika Malunda said that the LTS was more than what she expected, for it was fun and informative reminding her about what a Centralian leader should be and allowing her to share her thoughts and take-aways with other student leaders.
“It was not the kind of leadership training I was expecting or should I say it was more than what I’ve expected. It was fun, informative, and it lets us engage with other leaders as well as with the facilitators. It gave us the opportunity to share our thoughts and take-aways. It guided me on how to handle the responsibility of being a leader to my org and it reminded me of what a Centralian leader should be,” Malunda said.
According to Danica Rose Zepansa of the CPU Association of Chemistry Students, the LTS taught her patience, the need to be always imaginative and objective, and to consider everything as a challenge to overcome.
Zepansa said, “I have learned patience in the activities. No matter how long, you must persevere to get the correct answer. Always be imaginative and objective to everything and treat everything not as a game but a challenge to overcome.”
In addition, Zepansa said that though it was difficult to converse online, we should not be afraid to speak up and make mistakes for the latter make us see what we should do.
“It was difficult to converse virtually but don’t be afraid to speak up, seek help and make mistakes. Mistakes let us realize what we should do, and time may come when we’ll get tired, but always keep in mind that it is just part of the process,” Zepansa said.
Edalrehce Abogadil Forro, a member of the CPU Realm of Aureum Phoenixes, shared that she enjoyed the LTS very much and was not bored even though it was done virtually because the facilitator Mr. Java was really good and super alive when he hosted.
“Super nag enjoy gid ko. I thought boring sya , kase virtual lang, pero sir Java is really good. Super alive mag host hahaha,” Forro said
Forro further said that she learned much from the training especially about the real meaning of teamwork and leadership, about herself through the Johari window activity and about the need to look at the bigger things so that more opportunities and ideas can be created.
“I learned a lot. Mas na understand ko lalo yung real meaning ng teamwork and leadership. And marami den akong realizations about myself, especially yung Johari window, super nakahelp sya para mas ma analyze yung self ko. And na learn ko rin na, hindi dapat mag focus sa maliit lang, it is better kung titingnan natin yung bigger things para mas maraming opportunities and ideas na mabuo,” Forro added.
Together with other participants, Forro was thankful for the opportunity to join the interactive leadership seminar.
“Thank you for this opportunity na makajoin sa ganitong seminar. I learned a lot,” Forro said.
The LTS is an annual activity conducted by the Student Development and Programs Office headed by its director, Dr. Margen Java, and it aims to enhance the leadership skills of CPU students.
This year’s event was attended by 57 representatives of various CPU student organizations – academic (33), special (10), religious (7), cultural (1), sports (1) fraternities (4), and CPUR (1), according to Ms. Artchel Madera, SDP secretary who served in the LTS Secretariat together with Ms. Ciarra Guilamo and Ms. Mary Joy Alonsagay.

Ms. Maria Ella Juliana S. Capanang is the first-ever recipient of the Amor E. Soqueña Scholarship.
A pillar of strength and a foundation of hope – Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) student, Ms. Maria Ella Juliana S. Capanang, of Central Philippine University College of Nursing became the first-ever recipient of the Amor E. Soqueña Scholarship for CPU as she accepted the said grant during its presentation on February 24, 2022, at the Dr. Rex D. Drilon Building.
Having received this valuable support, Ms. Capanang is grateful and shared, “I’m very psyched up and motivated because this gave me a vision of what I would be like years from now. Through this scholarship, I also met people in the Mariano-Soqueña Foundation- people with the same passion for service as me, the same drive for volunteerism and integrity. That is why my happiness is overflowing.”
The Amor E. Soqueña Scholarship for CPU is a program that selects one incoming student from surrounding high schools who will receive a scholarship for full paid annual tuition to CPU for the duration of their studies every year until they graduate. It is one of the programs which comprised the Mariano- Soqueña Foundation that “aimed to help tomorrow’s youth in Hawaii and the Philippines succeed by creating opportunities through education, community service, and sports.” Amor E. Soqueña, herself, is also a Centralian alumna.
The presentation was attended by, Eugene Soqueña, Ryan Soqueña, Joe Awong, and Pat O’Brien from Mariano-Soqueña Foundation; Prof. Lena Giron, and Prof. Melba Sale of the CPU College of Nursing; and Ms. Capanang’s family members, Junalen Capanang and Erlinda Capanang.
Every day, a person strives to survive. Even if one is a believer that the most important help should come from within, it is during this moment – the giving of scholarship – which shows that God would remind him of the value of stewardship. As defined by CPU, stewardship is “the proper and responsible management of life, position, possession, and other resources entrusted by God to man” hence having received an award or in this case scholarship, a person is also given its corresponding responsibility. Ms. Capanang, in this light, puts it this way “With this scholarship, I am given an opportunity to use what was granted to me and ‘pay it forward’ someday.”

The Medical and Nurses Staff of CPU Medical Clinic.

Faced by challenges, these healthcare professionals do their best not only in fighting the disease – preventing it by medical protocols and services response to their patients. This also includes kindness and understanding at the other end of the line. Thanks to the effective Facebook Messenger communication response.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the challenge at the CPU Medical Clinic center. The clinic reception team chose to be the solution to the problem. It goes without saying that they too as Centralians, have maintained and sustained quality service during the pandemic. They are Doctors and Nurses with purple hearts and an enduring Central Spirit.
There are four Doctors and four Nurses on duty. They are Dr. Ma. Carmen S. Salcedo, MD, FPPS, Dr. Anabel Joy P. Sajo, MD, DPPS, Dr. Epifania A. Jinon, MD, FPAFP and Dr. Euniel A. Solinap, MD, FPPS; with Nurses Eires P. Azzuz, RN, Helen P. Alegrado,RN, Lita Q. Gajitos, RN and Maria Crescille M. Marigon, RN. Vergie Lyn L. Bertuso is the Secretary. They also provide an extra support to follow-up the Covid vaccination status of employees and students.
The following are objectives of the CPU Medical Clinic: 1)To deliver quality and efficient medical services by well-trained and competent medical and nursing staff 2) To promote health, prevent diseases and limit disabilities of students and CPU personnel.
The team’s role in Covid-19 Protocol includes examining most recent guidelines from LGU/National IATF, DOH, CDC, WHO and applies these in the context of CPU as an institution or community; recommend COVID Protocol amendments and addendum to existing COVID protocols regularly; facilitates implementation of COVID Protocols; issues RTW clearance; prepares health reports and participates in the evaluation of Health Protocols among others.
They have difficulties though, involving daily incidence and management. They are required speedy monitoring of Daily Health Monitoring Form and timely isolation of COVID suspects/contacts before they circulate in the campus and infect others. They have to manage fast contact tracing especially during the COVID surges and validate medical history or COVID exposure history of patients who are hesitant to disclose or untruthful of their medical history. They also deal with demanding patients, and unrealistic expectations of medical services by patients. Dealing with patients who are extremely stressed out; handling sarcasm, ridicule, insults are part of their experiences while in the performance of their duties. They work even if they are sick of Covid-19; they make themselves available 24/7 online for medical queries or teleconsults (even beyond clinic hours and holidays).
Central Philippine University maintains full support on the clinic, and in sustaining Health and Safety Programs.
