FRESHIES’ MOMENT 2025!🎉
December 10, 2025
Theme: “Future Ready: Igniting Purpose, Passion, and Possibility.”
The CHMSU‑Alijis Office of the Guidance Services, in partnership with the Circle of Peer Facilitators and the BS Psychology Student Interns of the University of Negros Occidental–Recoletos (UNO‑R), proudly held the Freshies’ Moment and Parents Orientation for all first‑year students at the CHMSU Alijis Campus.
This event gathered first-year students to equip them with essential knowledge to navigate college life successfully and inspire them to excel in their academic journey.
With the presence of our esteemed guest speaker, Mr. Lorence Macahilig, students were immersed in meaningful insights as he shared his personal story, valuable lessons, and empowering messages. His words offered motivation, guidance, and encouragement for students to strive toward greater heights.
The Pillars:
1. Principle of Planned Exploration
2. Treat Heartbreak as Breakthrough
3. Follow Your Energy
“These pillars remind students to explore intentionally, embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth, and allow their natural energy to guide their direction. Each experience—whether uplifting or challenging—brings them closer to discovering their true path and purpose.
Your major is only the beginning. It provides direction, but it does not define your entire life. Your true purpose—shaped by your passions, values, and lived experiences—is what ultimately leads you to where you are meant to be. By exploring with intention, learning from challenges, and following what energizes you, every step becomes part of discovering your authentic path and purpose.”
