The College Freshmen Program proudly joins in celebrating 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 2026, guided by the theme “𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒃𝒂𝒚𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒔, 𝑭𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒔!”. This celebration reflects the Pauline value of Charity, calling us to honor women’s dignity through love in action, compassion in leadership, and service rooted in care for others. We recognize the strength and wisdom of women who lead with heart, courage, and purpose.

As we observe this meaningful month, we are reminded that true leadership flows from self-giving love and respect for every person. May this inspire the CFP community to uplift women’s voices, stand for equality, and live out Pauline values by choosing kindness, justice, and service in our daily actions.

On this 40th EDSA Anniversary, we are reminded that meaningful change begins when we choose unity over division. The courage of ordinary Filipinos showed us that collective action, grounded in truth, can reshape the course of our nation.

Just as we strive to provide care that shapes the future of our students, we honor the Filipinos who cared enough to shape the future of our democracy. Their stand reminds us that leadership is rooted not in convenience, but in courage and integrity.

Let us lead with the same commitment to truth and love for country that defined 1986—standing firm against indifference and misinformation, and working together toward a progressive nation for all. 🇵🇭✊

Today, 𝑪𝑭𝑷 𝑪𝑮𝑼 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝑪𝑭𝑷 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 mourn the heartbreaking loss of our beloved professor, 𝙈𝙧𝙨. 𝙇𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙨. Our hearts are shattered by the news of her passing this morning. She was more than an educator to us—she was a source of warmth, guidance, and quiet strength. Her presence in our halls brought comfort, her words brought clarity, and her compassion touched lives in ways that cannot be measured. The classroom will never feel the same without her gentle spirit and steady encouragement.

We grieve deeply for the loss of a mentor who believed in us even when we doubted ourselves. Mrs. Senados leaves behind a legacy of kindness, patience, and dedication that will live on in every student she taught and every life she helped shape. As we mourn together as one CFP family, we hold onto the lessons she gave us and the love she shared so freely. Rest in peace, Ma’am. You will always be remembered, and you will always be missed. 🕊️

“𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣” (Genesis 3:19)

Ash Wednesday invites us to reflect on the truth that life is fragile and time is sacred. We are reminded to slow down, turn back to God, and realign our hearts with what truly matters. From dust we came, and to dust we shall return.

Let today be a moment of quiet surrender and honest repentance. As we carry the sign of ashes, may we also carry humility, compassion, and a renewed desire to live with meaning.
