CEU NAMES LOYAL EMPLOYEES, ALUMNI

Centro Escolar University’s (CEU) present-day exemplars of loyalty who have served the university for 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20 and 15 years were recognized during the recent Loyalty Awards Day held last Sept. 12 at the CEU Librada Avelino Auditorium with live streaming on its official Facebook and Youtube accounts.

In the test of time and difficulties, teaching and non-teaching employees have proven their loyalty in years and service. Thirty parent-alumni also have manifested in them allegiance to the university for choosing CEU to be their children’s home for tertiary learning.

“Today, we celebrate another CEU tradition, this time to recognize and give credit to loyalty and service. Today, we honor those who have put their faith in CEU as an institution of higher learning,” said Dr. Ma. Cristina Padolina, CEU president and chief academic officer in her welcome message.

With the longest years in service, Dr. Olivia M. Limuaco, vice president for CEU Makati delivered her heartfelt message as the lone 45-year service awardee.

“These figures are not just numbers for me, but milestones that surely make me smile, every time I take a trip down memory lane. To all the people whom I had the opportunity to work with for 45 years, my heartfelt gratitude to all of you. The times we shared, the friendship we developed and the incredible successes we achieved,” said Dr. Limuaco.

The number of service awardees per batch were: 40 years (six), 35 years (11), 30 years (23), 25 years (18), 20 years (three), and 15 years (14).

Apart from the service and parent-alumni awardees, the Sampaguita recipients, Dr. Olivia Limuaco and Dr. Teresa Perez, senior vice president for academic affairs, were presented plaque of recognition, while Judge Rowena Nieves Tan, vice executive judge of the Regional Trial Court Branch 118, Pasay City, graced the event as the guest speaker.
