A significant milestone in the journey of future nurses was celebrated as the School of Health Sciences held its 52nd Capping, Badging, and Candle Lighting Ceremony on September 18, 2026, at Aureo La Union. The ceremony honored the nursing students as they embarked on another meaningful stage of their professional journey.

The program began with a processional of all 460 nursing students, accompanied by their family members. This was followed by an opening prayer through song led by Dr. Deborrah Reyes-Anno, Convener, Culture and Arts. The ceremony then continued with the singing of the Philippine National Anthem and the UCC College Song. The celebration proceeded with the Parade of Florence Nightingale, a tribute to the enduring legacy of the founder of modern nursing. The presentation served as a reminder of the values of compassion, dedication, and service that define the nursing profession.

Dr. Marilou L. Agustin, Vice President for Academic Affairs, then delivered the greetings, formally welcoming the students, faculty members, families, and distinguished guests gathered for the momentous occasion. This was followed by the introduction of the Guest of Honor and Speaker, formally presented by Level II Coordinator, Mrs. Chermaine F. Corpuz, MAN.

Delivering the inspirational message was Hon. Antonio A. Eslao, Municipal Vice Mayor of Agoo, La Union, a Batch 1981 alumnus of the College of Nursing and UCC nurse entrepreneur. During his speech, he shared his experiences as an alumnus and healthcare professional and encouraged the students to work hard and remain committed to their calling while carrying with them the values and responsibilities of the nursing profession.

His inspirational message was followed by the Awarding of the Token of Appreciation, presented by Rev. Dr. Ferdinand A. Anno, College President, in recognition of the Guest of Honor and Speaker’s meaningful participation in the ceremony.

The ceremony then moved on to a reflection on the significance of the Cap, Badge, Candle, and Bible, as selected students shared the meaning each symbol holds in their journey and commitment to the nursing profession. The items were then blessed by Rev. Dr. Cesar C. Cadam-us, School Chaplain. This was followed by the Lighting of the Lamp, led by Mrs. Cristeta E. Bagtang, MAN, and the Presentation of Candidates by Dr. Marites B. Cadam-us, Dean of the School of Health Sciences.

The ceremony proceeded with the Ceremonial Imposition of the Cap and Badge, assisted by the level coordinators: Level I Coordinator, Sir Marius F. Flores Jr., MAN; Level II Coordinator, Mrs. Chermaine F. Corpuz, MAN; Level III Coordinator, Ms. Only H. Navalta, MAN; and Level IV Coordinator, Mrs. Fatima A. Carsola.

Following the ceremonial imposition, the nursing students participated in the Singing of the Nurses’ Pledge, led by Dr. Pilar Ruby Buenaventura. The pledge symbolized the students’ commitment to uphold the values, responsibilities, and standards of the nursing profession, while placing the welfare of their patients at the heart of their practice.

The program then featured a tribute song for the parents, with the students singing “Everything I Own” by Bread as an expression of love and gratitude. The heartfelt performance honored the parents’ sacrifices, encouragement, and unwavering support throughout their children’s journey toward becoming professional nurses. Following the tribute, the nursing students came together for the Batch Song, “Long Live” by Taylor Swift, celebrating their accomplishments, the bond they share as a batch, and the cherished memories they have created throughout their journey as nursing students.

Bringing the celebration to a close, Rev. Dr. Ferdinand A. Anno, College President, delivered the Charge and Benediction. His charge reminded the students of their responsibilities and commitment to uphold the values of the nursing profession, while his benediction offered prayers for guidance and blessings as they continue their journey toward becoming professional nurses.

The School of Health Sciences (SHeS) and the Graduate School just elevated their global academic footprint at the prestigious 26th International Nursing Ethics Conference! Held on August 27, 2026, at the University of Regina main campus in Saskatchewan, Canada, this major event brought together the world’s brightest minds to tackle the future of healthcare. Organized by the University's Faculty of Nursing and the renowned Nursing Ethics journal, the conference focused on a critical, timely mission: building resilient, culturally safe, and sustainable global care systems ready to face health emergencies and pandemics head-on.

Leading this charge for our institution was an elite delegation of academic trailblazers. The SHeS team was spearheaded by Dean Marites B. Cadam-us, alongside dedicated Level coordinators Marius Flores Jr. (Level 1), Only Navalta (Level 3), and Fatima Carsola (Level 4). Bringing immense administrative weight to the delegation were Graduate School representatives Dr. Marilou Agustin (Vice President for Academic Affairs) and Dr. Rosemerlyn Jubilo (Graduate School Professor)—ensuring that the cutting-edge insights gathered in Canada will directly enrich both our undergraduate and advanced curricula.

Demonstrating the institution's robust research capabilities, the faculty actively shaped the global discourse alongside world-renowned experts, including keynote speakers Ross Upshur, who addressed why ethics matters for pandemic and disaster response, and Ann Gallagher, who examined disaster preparedness from a nursing ethics perspective. The delegation also engaged with prominent plenary panelists Cheryl Pollard and Pamela Grace before presenting their own peer-reviewed research in parallel sessions.

Our leaders did not just listen—they actively shaped the global discourse as presenters in high-profile Parallel Sessions! In the RIC 119 Lecture Theatre, under the chair of Ann Gallagher, Ms. Rachelle Galicia, Dr. Marilou Agustin, Dr. Fatima Carsola, and Dr. Rosemerlyn Jubilo captivated audiences with their presentation, "At the Brink of Care: A Heideggerian Lens on Nurses’ Moral Being During Disaster."

Meanwhile, in RIC 208, under the chair of Georgina Morley, Prof. Marius Flores Jr., Dr. Marites Cadam-us, and Prof. Only Navalta took the stage to share invaluable insights on "Nurse Administrators' Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Response: Ethical and Cultural Perspectives." These stellar presentations, alongside keynotes, global disaster response panels, and the inspiring Human Rights and Nursing Awards session, equip our delegation with a renewed passion and actionable knowledge to champion ethical, world-class leadership right here at home!

The second day of the symposium, dated August 28, 2026, focused extensively on actionable ethical, cross-cultural, and interprofessional responses to global health crises. The forum served as an elite gathering for international scholars to address emerging challenges in ethical leadership, incident management, and policy adaptations required to sustain healthcare delivery systems during widespread public health emergencies.

The active engagement of these institutional leaders ensures that the complex ethical models and global regulatory perspectives explored during the conference will be systematically integrated into both undergraduate and advanced graduate nursing curricula.

The intensive day-two program provided the delegation with rigorous insights across distinct plenary, parallel, and keynote tracks. Key findings were extracted from the Plenary Panel chaired by Abigail Wickson-Griffiths and Elizabeth Peter, which featured Georgina Morley’s discourse on utilizing nursing ethics programming to support workforce resilience, and Carla Aparecida Arena Ventura’s qualitative evaluation of the WHO Quality Rights training for Brazilian primary care professionals. Additionally, the delegation participated in specialized parallel tracks spanning ethical leadership and communication (Track 2a1), strategic priorities in incident management (Track 2a2), end-of-life decision-making for vulnerable populations (Track 2a3), and innovations in healthcare technology sustainability (Track 2b1). The conference culminated in a profound closing keynote session chaired by Ann Gallagher, featuring Elizabeth Peter’s analytical retrospective on the "Six Lessons ‘Learned’ from the COVID-19 Pandemic" and Trina Raccine’s developer-perspective analysis of ethical considerations during vaccine development, effectively reinforcing the university's mission to cultivate globally competitive, ethically grounded healthcare researchers and administrators.

Union Christian College warmly congratulates Ms. Rachelle G. Galicia, a BSN alumna of 2012 and currently a Master of Arts in Nursing student of Union Christian College, for presenting her research entitled “At the Brink of Care: Nurses’ Moral Being During Disaster” at the Nursing Ethics International Conference held at the University of Regina, Canada, on August 28, 2026. Ms. Galicia, who currently serves as the Head Nurse of Ilocos Sur Medical Center, had the opportunity to share her study and insights with nurse scholars, educators, researchers, and professionals from different parts of the world.

The conference provided a meaningful space for learning, sharing, and reflecting on the many dimensions of nursing practice. Through her presentation, Ms. Galicia brought with her the experiences and perspectives of Filipino nurses, particularly the moral challenges they encounter while providing care during disasters. Her participation as part of the Philippine team was a quiet but meaningful representation of the dedication and experiences of nurses in the Philippines. It was also an opportunity to listen to the stories and research of fellow nurses from around the world and to be part of a shared conversation about ethical and compassionate nursing care.

For Union Christian College, Ms. Galicia’s achievement is a simple yet meaningful reminder of what education can continue to nurture in its graduates and students. From being a BSN graduate in 2012 to becoming a nursing leader, researcher, and now a Master of Arts student, her journey reflects perseverance, lifelong learning, and a heart for the nursing profession. UCC is grateful to have been part of her journey and is happy to see one of its own sharing her work on an international platform. Congratulations, Ms. Rachelle G. Galicia. May you continue to learn, serve, and inspire others through your work, research, and commitment to nursing.

We are proud of you, and we remain grateful for the opportunity to celebrate this meaningful milestone with you. 🇵🇭❤️

On August 24, 2026, delegates from Union Christian College (UCC) conducted a benchmarking visit to Saskatchewan Polytechnic – Regina Campus and the University of Regina, featuring an insightful visit to their Simulation Theatre hosted by Raylene Lutz, Executive Assistant to the Dean, Faculty of Nursing, Health Sciences and Community Services. The UCC delegation was led by Dr. Marilou L. Agustin, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Dr. Marites B. Cadam-us, Dean of the School of Health Sciences, together with Marius F. Flores Jr., Level 1 Coordinator; Only H. Navalta, Level 3 Coordinator; Fatima A. Carsola, Level 4 Coordinator; and Dr. Rose Merlyn M. Jubilo, Faculty of Nursing. The benchmarking visit provided an important opportunity for the UCC delegates to observe innovative practices in nursing and health sciences education and to gain valuable insights into how simulation can be effectively integrated into student learning.

Among the significant breakthroughs and best practices observed during the visit was the use of updated, well-maintained high- and low-fidelity simulation machines and equipment, allowing students to practice essential clinical skills using technology that closely resembles actual healthcare environments. The delegation also learned about the use of barcode-based inventory systems for monitoring and managing simulation equipment, promoting efficient tracking, accountability, organization, and proper maintenance of resources. Another notable innovation was the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) into learning experiences, providing students with immersive opportunities to encounter realistic clinical situations. These approaches demonstrate how technology, proper resource management, and simulation can work together to create meaningful learning experiences that help students become more familiar and confident with the realities of the hospital setting.

The benchmarking activity reflects Union Christian College’s continuing commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement in nursing and health sciences education. The experiences and practices observed at Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the University of Regina provided the UCC delegation with valuable ideas for strengthening its own simulation laboratories and clinical learning environments. Through the effective use of high- and low-fidelity simulation, modern technology, organized equipment inventory systems, and immersive learning such as virtual reality, UCC continues to envision a learning environment where students can experience realistic hospital situations, develop clinical competence, strengthen critical thinking and decision-making skills, and build confidence before entering actual clinical practice. UCC sincerely appreciates Raylene Lutz, the Faculty of Nursing, Health Sciences and Community Services, and the teams at Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the University of Regina for sharing their expertise, facilities, and best practices, inspiring UCC to continue pursuing innovative and student-centered approaches in preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals.
