In recognition of his outstanding achievements in sports and his notable contributions to the development of national pride, the Philippine Normal University (PNU) has formally conferred the first-ever Doctor of Physical Education and Sports, Honoris Causa, to Hon. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao, the newly minted Secretary and Lead Convenor of the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) and boxing’s only eight-division world champion.

Considered a highly anticipated part of the 125th Anniversary celebration of the Opening of the Philippine Normal School (now PNU), the buzz surrounding the conferment rites brought together various stakeholders of the community, from members of the governing board to retired administrative employees. A localized drizzle prevented the ceremony from being held at the university’s quadrangle. However, it did not hinder the solemn conduct of the event yesterday, September 16, 2026, as it was moved to the equally historic Geronima T. Pecson Main Auditorium.

On this day, the Philippine Normal School opened its doors to aspiring educators.

A century and a quarter later, it stands as the National Center for Teacher Education, primed to lead the charge in creating meaningful impact in the education sector as it hones future-ready teachers and education leaders.

For one hundred twenty-five years, the Philippine Normal University (PNU) has stood as a beacon of brilliance in teacher education—a legacy built not only on milestones, but on a tradition of truth, excellence, and service to the Filipino people.

The institution has witnessed the transformation of Philippine education and has remained at the forefront of that journey. From training the country’s first generations of public school teachers to becoming a leading institution in educational research, curriculum development, policy advocacy, and community engagement, the University has continuously responded to the changing needs of society. Today, this legacy lives on through its campuses and regional hubs, extending the University’s mission to hone 21st-century learners and serve communities across the nation.

As the PNU Community celebrates the 125th Anniversary of the Opening of the Philippine Normal School, honor is given to the generations of students, alumni, faculty, staff, retirees, and partners whose dedication and passion have built this remarkable institution. Their collective contributions have made the Philippine Normal University not only a symbol of excellence in teacher education but also a lasting force in shaping the future of our nation through education.

The institution, through its University President, Dr. Bert J. Tuga, invites everyone to take part in the celebration of this milestone this September 2026. Under the theme "PNU@125: From Legacy to Futures Leadership in Teacher Education," the entire community is encouraged to honor our shared past, celebrate our collective achievements, strengthen our traditions, and look confidently toward the future.

Philippine Normal University Visayas (PNUV) celebrated its 58th Founding Anniversary on July 24, 2026, with the theme, “PNU Visayas @ 58: Honoring Our Heritage, Embracing Innovation, Shaping the Future.”

The celebration commenced with a wreath and floral offering at the Old City Hall, Cadiz City. Prof. Ulmamor T. Salutin delivered the Statement of Purpose, recognizing the contributions of Congressmen Hon. Armando C. Gustillo and Hon. Vicente F. Gustillo Sr., to the establishment of PNUV.

Executive Director and Provost, Dr. Ralger D. Jocson Jr., then delivered his opening remarks, emphasizing the importance of honoring the institution's founders, while City Councilor, Hon. Kathrina Kaye L. Gustillo, representing Cadiz City Mayor Bading Escalante Jr., reaffirmed the city's support for PNU Visayas.

The program featured performances by the Makawiwili Dance Troupe (MDT) and the Dalawidaw Chorale, followed by the floral offering. Meanwhile, a student wellness activity was simultaneously conducted at the Drilon Covered Court, spearheaded by the PEMS HeAd. Afterwards, a Thanksgiving Mass was officiated by Rev. Fr. Mark Lester T. Maaliw where he highlighted the importance of gratitude, faith, and unity in sustaining the institution’s mission.

PNUV SG and Gender and Development Unit (GEDIU) conducted “Panaghigalaay: Creating Inclusive Community Through Friendship and Fun,” after the mass, which promoted inclusivity and camaraderie among participants. The activity featured various games aimed at fostering an inclusive community.

In the afternoon, PNUV celebrated the 48th National Disability Rights Week aligned with its 58th Founding Anniversary celebration, carrying the goal of advancing equal rights and opportunities for persons with disabilities (PWDs) across all sectors of society. The program featured a panel forum with students with special needs, faculty members, and administrative staff, where attendees and the panel discussed inclusive practices. This was followed by a series of advocacy competitions that showcased students’ creativity and commitment to promoting disability rights.

The event concluded with a message from Dr. Emilyn T. Batulat, Head of the Gender Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Unit (GEDIU), who encouraged participants to continue advocating for an inclusive society beyond the celebration.
