To honor the teaching workforce and reaffirm the campus’ commitment to educator welfare, Pangasinan State University-Bayambang Campus (PSU-BC) celebrated World Teachers’ Day at the Gabaldon Main Building, October 5.
Organized by the Supreme Student Council, together with the local accredited student organizations of the campus, the event brought together faculty members, administrators, and students to recognize the vital role of educators in students’ lives.
Campus Executive Director Dr. Madlyn D. Tingco opened the celebration by acknowledging the demands and sacrifices in the teaching profession which deserves reciprocity.
“We need to pause and celebrate. We ask much from our teachers; we also must give much in return. We expect them to be understanding, humane, and to create a safe and supportive environment and they deserve the same consideration and appreciation from us,” Tingco emphasized.
Beyond honoring efforts, Vice President for Research, Extension and Innovation Dr. Razeale G. Resultay described the occasion as not merely a commemoration but a collective call to protect the profession.
“It is a call to action to protect our teachers, their work, and their profession,” she added.
Meanwhile, Student Services and Alumni Affairs Dean Asst. Prof. Leonardo V. Basilio shared how classrooms serve as a daily battlefield to teachers where preparation and genuine care make the greatest difference.
“Teach from your heart, and give all you can,” he urged teachers.
Teachers’ influence was also highlighted in the celebration with Institute of Nursing Dean Dr. Ma. Berenice Glizzle Catabay noted how an educator’s impact becomes visible once students graduate.
“Behind every accomplished professional is a teacher who once believed in their potential,” she added.
Adding to this, College of Arts, Sciences, and Technology Dean Dr. Joel T. Cayabyab, reminded the community that “no rebirth can rise above its source” affirming that the strength of the institution and its graduates rests entirely on the quality of its instruction.
Teachers also enjoyed unity games that fostered camaraderie across departments, followed by a video tribute from the student body.
The celebration took a heartwarming turn as the campus community surprised Executive Director Dr. Madlyn D. Tingco with an early birthday celebration ahead of her special day on Oct. 7.
The festivities continued with free taho, ice cream, tusok-tusok, and lunch courtesy of the Campus Faculty Association.
Closing the event, Dr. Cheryl C. Mendoza, Dean of the College of Teacher Education, delivered an original poem honoring the spirit of teaching and learning, and reminded everyone how teachers impart not only class lessons but also enduring wisdom.
Once again, Happy World Teachers' Day! May we continue to celebrate the light that is our teachers!
