President Manzano extended the university’s recognition to the dedicated faculty members, headed by their respective deans, Dr. James Patrick Peralta of COM and Dr. Charlie Batin of CAFSD, whose guidance and expertise contributed to the excellent performance of their graduates. He emphasized that the results reflect the university’s sustained passion for academic excellence.
