Saguimpa Recognition Speech
 
Mark James Saguimpa of the Bachelor of Science in Agri-Business Economics (BSABE) program, the college valedictorian of the School of Management (SOM), addressed the graduating students on SOM Recognition Day, held at Lorenzo Hall last July 2023. 
 
His speech highlighted students' realities and how they triumphed over all the adversities, such as the pandemic.
 
“Sa ating paglisan sa pamantasang ating tinitangala at pinapahalagahan, nawa’y bitbit natin, hindi lamang ang mga aral sa mga pagtalakay sa silid-aralan, ngunit lalung-lalo na ang ating mga natutunang prinsipyo ng pagsusumikap, pagpapakumbaba, at pagpapakatao. Nakadikit na sa hibla ng ating buhay, ang panlipunang responsibilidad na pagsilbihan ang bayan,” Mark Saguimpa said.
 
Nixie 1
 
Meanwhile, Nixie Serna from Bachelor of Arts in English (BAE) program, valedictorian of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS), gave her message to the graduating students on CHSS Recognition Day, held at Mini Theatre on July 17, 2023. 
 
In her speech, Serna uses the word “bright” as a metaphor for expressing what it means to be a student of UP, to give and be a light in the dark.
 
“The world out there is undeniably daunting and can be dark at times, especially in our current political climate, but a single spark can ignite the brightest flame. Just like that one song that goes, “Tumindig at magsilbing liwanag sa dilim.”... So, let us lend a hand, be kind, and keep carrying on. Success is not only measured in achievements but also who you are as a character.” Nixie Serna said.
 
Saguimpa and Serna were named magna cum laude in the Commencement Exercises on July 18, 2023.

2023 ALE 02

The University of the Philippines Mindanao (UPMin) architecture graduates continued their 100%-passing achievement in the June 2023 Architecture Licensure Examination (ALE) with 26 new licensed architects.

The Professional Regulation Commission and the Board of Architecture released the result of the ALE on June 15, 2023.

Architect and Prof. Isidoro Malaque III, the chairperson of the UPMin Department of Architecture, expressed his reaction to the result. “It was exciting that our takers maintained the 100%-passing rate,” he said.     

The UPMin Department of Architecture has continuously achieved a 100%-passing rate for many years. It has produced ten board top notchers, as well. For this reason, the BS Architecture program has had the biggest student intake in recent years. 

The architecture students were helped by the Architecture Instructional Examination (AIEX), a mock board exam developed by the department, which has been revived and conducted again after having been discontinued during the pandemic.

UPMin's newly-licensed architects are Andrea Faye G. Adlawan, Joseph Dave P. Agustin, Tim Andre D. Atega, John Elmar R. Bebelone, Denise Louise M. Boiser, Frances Ianelle L. Campo, Lou Kimberly L. Colon, Cserah Marl G. Enano, Pauline S. Gabayan, Katya Claude E. Gojar, Reina Arantxa B. Gomez, Hazel U. Jumawan (magna cum laude, 2020), Awit J. Ledesma, Nicole Kate B. Maceda, Kimberlyn Faith M.
