Libo-on, on his part, stressed how proud he was to be a CPU work student. He emphasized that work students were more than just work students. He gave himself as an example of a work student who was also a “youth leader, a community builder and now, a TOSIA Circle of Five.”

Paul Christian M. Alado hails from the Roxas, Capiz.
An organization is synonymous to a family. It is where an individual can develop holistically. Central Philippine University does not only provide quality education, but [is] also a training ground for everyone to learn beyond the four-corners of the classroom… through different student organizations. Every single individual that consists an organization and the organization itself, is an asset in its own special and meaningful way. But what does it really take to be an asset?
Sometimes, we are blinded by the mere definition of an Asset—Assets are… only people or groups valued by society because of their contribution to the attainment of our goals as a nation. We have missed to look [at] the value of an individual beyond his contribution.
It is my humble belief that every person becomes an asset not just only because of what he can give, but greatly because of what he is—a dignified created being of God. A valuable asset is Christ-like, a being created in the image of God.
Today, we are faced by a challenge. CPU Student Organizations: Accountable to self, society, and environment today and beyond. This challenge is [not] simple. It is a challenge that [springs] from the overwhelming love of country and fellowmen. Amidst diversity in various student organizations in CPU, they are all united by one goal: To be an ASSET.
Every individual in CPU student organizations is God’s instrument to create a significant impact for the greater good: that every student organization [is] made possible by God and [that] they will all work as one. This God-centered principle strengthens our identity as true-blooded Centralians—God-centered individuals committed to serve for God’s greatest glory, regardless of our origins, beliefs, norms, and even group or organizations we belong.

Joshua Van Lorilla Faala is an active member of the Janitorial Student Assistant.
Good Morning! [I started] the day, waking up at four in the morning. Duty and school calls. Time in, then, responsibilities. Tidying up rooms, cleaning toilets, segregating trash, and dealing with people. [Difficult tasks] at first but it has to be the routine. After duty, school has to be prioritized too. We [are] even called “multitaskers”; well affirmative, but we call ourselves “models.” Models because, for those who feel down [on themselves], we know we can do things that even ourselves [didn’t know we could do]. It corresponds to this encouraging question “why can’t you?”
What is amazing with this organization is the people comprising the group. Everyone’s unique and skillful. We do so much being an ASSEST… Together with our code of ethics, we set ASSET in simple terms.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT—We learned to appreciate even trivial things, from simple greetings to bringing small trash [inside] your pockets to arranging seats and turning off the lights and fans after use. SINCERITY—We learned to value things as their owners [did], with things left [in] the rooms or even the hallways, we make sure to bring it to the office to be labeled as lost and found. SOLIDARITY—Because we, dreamers helping dreamers, builders supporting builders, and a community molding a community full of responsibilities and love. EXCELLENCE—Engagement with activities, physical, academic and spiritual. We do believe that as… multitaskers, we push [the] limits [for] ourselves to get out of our comfort zones. And TIMELY—We consider ourselves responsible and disciplined with our Daily Time Record because it simply shows [that we are] responsible student assistants.
We work for ourselves, the society and environment.

At some point in our lives, we have pushed ourselves to the extent of our own fractures just to live up to other people’s expectations. We have focused on giving importance to what they say, unknowingly losing our own identity—who we really are, what we really are made of, and what exactly our purpose is.
Central Philippine University takes pride in giving holistic Christian education for its students. It teaches its students the interconnecting values of Knowledge & Faith. It guides its students to grow to their fullest potentials and to inculcate in their minds and hearts the Central Spirit—the spirit that binds Centralians together, the spirit that dwells in and connects every student organization at Central Philippine University.
Through the years, student organizations at CPU have always stayed true to their missions and visions—they have always stayed true to the prime reason of their existence—that is, to be an asset, being accountable to themselves and their society, today and beyond the days that would come—be it inside or beyond the walls of the said prime institution.
CPU Student Organizations have been accountable to their own structure and society without compromising one of those mentioned. They have immersed themselves [in] societal issues without compromising their own viewpoints. They have reached [out] and helped the people in the grassroots level without prejudice [and] towards their own benefits, and above all, they have lived up to other people’s expectations without losing their identity. With CPU’s mantra, “Scientia et Fides,” student organizations were able to uphold their purpose—that is to help and be helped.
With confidence and pride, CPU student organizations bleed the colors Gold and Blue and have heard the Master’s Words “Well Done!”
The Annual Student Campus Organizations’ Evaluation and Exhibit highlights diversity and camaraderie among Centralians.
Following the booth exhibits and presentations of the different student organizations held at the Alumni Concert Promenade Park on February 6 to 7, 2019, the Student Development Programs headed unveils its list of front-runners who have represented their respective organizations with excellence and commitment.

Jason Troy F. Bajar, former CPU Republic President and a 2015 Magna Cum Laude graduate of Bachelor of Arts in Political Science presented his study entitled “Technology: Drop-out Prevention by Increasing Parent Involvement Through Text Messaging” during the 1st De La Salle Araneta University International Multidisciplinary Research Conference at Osmena Hall, DLSAU on January 25-26, 2019.
Bajar co-authored the said study together with his mother, May Ann F. Bajar who is currently a Master in Educational Management student of Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges.
The said study discusses high drop-out rate as a serious problem that the Philippine academe is facing. In order to prevent this, researchers conducted an action research aimed at preventing student drop-out by increasing parent involvement through text messaging.
Essentially, researchers constantly updated the parents on the attendance, standing and progress of the students to see how it affects their performance in school.
Bajar is currently a Master in Public Administration student of the CPU School of Graduate Studies.
