Some smiles are genuine.
Some are forced.
And some happen because a certain โ€œcrushโ€ casually walked by wearing a polo and suddenly the day felt less stressful.

In celebration of National Smile Day, students are encouraged to smile more, laugh more, and avoid assuming โ€œni smile siyas akoaโ€ means something deeper. Sources confirmed that delusion levels remain critically high across the grounds.

A total of 61 Latin honors graduates of the PIT Tabango Campus, comprising 4 Magna Cum Laude and 57 Cum Laude awardees during the 25th Commencement Exercises for Academic Year 2025-2026, received cash assistance on Thursday afternoon, May 28, at the campus Function Hall.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Action Center Head of Villaba, Leyte, Mr. Joshua Costillas, warmly congratulated the beneficiaries and shared that from the start of 2026 up to the middle of the year, their office had already extended financial assistance to at least five municipalities across Leyte's 3rd District.

Meanwhile, each beneficiary received โ‚ฑ5,000, amounting to a total of โ‚ฑ305,000 sourced from the DSWD Region VIII. The assistance was made possible through the efforts of DSWD Regional Director Grace Q. Subong, who previously delivered an inspirational message during the 25th Commencement Exercises for Batch Hiraya, Class of 2026.

During her message, she formally recognized PIT Tabango Campus as one of the agency's institutional partners, which paved the way for the release of the cash assistance a day after the momentous celebration.

Furthermore, the assistance aims to support the graduates in their future academic and professional endeavors. Several students from various programs gracefully expressed their sincerest appreciation to DSWD and shared that they planned to use the cash assistance as an initial support as they step into the next phase of their journey.

โ€œThis support will help me pay my remaining balance in the review center and my boarding house expenses while preparing for the Licensure Examination for Teachers,โ€ shared Ms. Laigie Mondelo, a BTLEd graduate.

Likewise, Ms. Jonnah Mae Condes, a beneficiary from the BTVTEd program, expressed her gratitude for the financial support, saying, โ€œAs a Latin honor, I consider this opportunity both a privilege and a responsibility. I promise to continue doing my best academically and to use the support [they] have provided wisely.โ€

โ€œI was delighted and happy because it was a big help and a large amount of money. After receiving it, the first thing I did was buy half a sack of rice and give my Mama some money, because I wouldnโ€™t have received it without her. So, I am thankful to DSWD for this wonderful gift,โ€ gracefully expressed by Ms. Jerracil Salidaga, a BSIT Latin honor graduate.

The subsidy, provided by DSWD 8โ€“Eastern Visayas, affirms the agencyโ€™s commitment to supporting municipalities of the district and other vulnerable sectors.
