On May 14, 2026, the Southern Luzon State University (SLSU)โAlabat campus proudly hosted the Advance and Basic ROTC Graduation Ceremony, marking a significant milestone for the cadets and cadettes who successfully completed their training. The event celebrated not only their hard work, but also the discipline, leadership, and unwavering commitment they developed throughout the program.
A total of fifty-five (55) Basic ROTC cadets and cadettes, along with four (4) Advance ROTC Cadet Officers, officially graduated and received their certificates of completion. Several graduates were also recognized with special awards for their exemplary performance and outstanding service during the training period.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed Guest of Honor and Speaker, PCPT Harris D Hemor, Acting Chief of Police of Alabat, for delivering an inspiring message that challenged the graduates to continue serving with honor, integrity, and patriotism. Before concluding, he shared several meaningful bible verses, anchoring his message on Philippians 4:13 : โI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,โ reminding the cadets to remain faithful, courageous, and determined in the face of future challenges.
The success of this memorable occasion was further highlighted by the invaluable presence and support of our distinguished guests: COL NORLEO G ADDULAM OS (GSC) PA, Director of the 404th CDC; TSg Antonio M Ronquillo (Inf) PA; SSg Julito T Salcedo (CE) PA; Sgt James Nichol D Ungriano PA (Res); and Dr. Lyn Vargas-Tapan, the SLSU-Alabat Campus Director and NSTP Coordinator.
Additionally, the SLSUโAlabat ROTC Unit expresses its deepest appreciation to the Municipal Mayor of Alabat, Hon. Eizelle 'Ays' Avellano-Canimo, whose visit and support made the celebration even more meaningful for the graduating unit.
Congratulations to all the ROTC graduates! May you continue to embody the core values of leadership, discipline, and integrity as you move forward to greater heights and serve the nation with pride.
