Under the leadership of SUC President II, Prof. Charlie P. Nacario, PhD, BISCAST issues this statement in response to circulating information regarding the venue of the forthcoming 𝟱𝟯𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀.

𝟭. 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲
The Administration acknowledges the concerns raised and affirms the importance of the Graduation Ceremony to the graduating students and their families.

The Fuerte CamSur Sports Complex was identified as Option B in the initial Activity Proposal, subject to final review and approval. The BISCAST LRV Student Pavilion remains the primary and preferred venue. The alternative venue was considered only as a precaution due to the current heat index and in consideration of public health and safety.

Based on the survey conducted by the BISCAST Graduating Student Council (BGSC), where 94.6% (730 students) preferred the LRV Student Pavilion, the Administration affirms that this serves as the principal basis for the decision. Accordingly, Option B does not take precedence.

𝟮. 𝗢𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
The Administration clarifies that previous claims regarding the final venue are speculative and without official basis. No formal directive had been issued by the Office of the President. The Graduation Committees will still convene to finalize all arrangements.

𝟯. 𝗢𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴
BISCAST upholds transparency, inclusivity, and consultative governance, engaging students, faculty, and officials in decision-making.

Subject to final confirmation, the Graduation Ceremony is scheduled on May 28–29, 2026, and is intended to be held at the BISCAST LRV Student Pavilion.

All stakeholders are advised to rely only on official announcements issued through authorized College platforms.

In view of the ongoing fuel and energy crisis and its impact on families, particularly parents and students, the BISCAST Administration is temporarily suspending the collection of academic garb rentals effective immediately.

We recognize that the rising costs of fuel, energy, and basic commodities have imposed additional burdens not only on our students and their families but on the entire BISCAST community.

In light of this situation, and as a gesture of empathy and support to our graduating students, this measure aims to help ease financial pressure and provide flexibility during these challenging times.

Everyone is encouraged to support the present leadership in implementing cost-cutting and austerity measures.

All Vice Presidents and concerned Unit Heads are hereby directed to monitor the implementation of this issuance.

For strict compliance.
