CHEDRO X kicked off its commemoration of the 32nd Founding Anniversary of CHED and the 6th National Higher Education Day through a series of meaningful activities headed by OIC Director Dr. Arlita Amapola B. Minguez.

Guided by this year’s theme, “ACHIEVE-ing Knowledge Economy Together for a Future-Ready Bagong Pilipinas,” the occasion opened with a simple yet meaningful tribute to CHEDRO X personnel during the Service Awards last May 14, 2026, recognizing employees who have rendered five (5) years or more of service to the Commission. It served as a moment of gratitude for their dedication and contribution to public service.

The day also featured a Family and Wellness time for all employees, giving everyone an opportunity to pause, recharge, and strengthen camaraderie. Other activities are lined up in the coming days involving the Region X Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

More than just a celebration, this milestone reflects the Office’s shared commitment to the Commission’s ACHIEVE Agenda and its continued efforts toward building a stronger and more future-ready higher education.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) was created on May 18, 1994, through Republic Act No. 7722, also known as the "Higher Education Act of 1994". This historic transition separated tertiary education from the broader Department of Education, Culture, and Sports, creating a dedicated governing body to steer the higher education system of the country toward growth, academic freedom, and structural excellence. And to honor the establishment of CHED and to celebrate the milestones, access, and victories of Philippine higher education, the National Higher Education Day was established through Republic Act No. 11522.

Anchored on the theme, “𝑨𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑬𝑽𝑬-𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝑬𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒚 𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑭𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆-𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝑩𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒔,” this year’s celebration underscores the Commission’s commitment to advancing quality, inclusive, and globally competitive higher education. It also highlights the role of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in cultivating innovation, research, internationalization, and lifelong learning to empower Filipino learners and contribute meaningfully to national development.

Padayon ta sa pag-alagad para sa kalidad nga Edukasyon! 💙

Pursuant to the enactment of Republic Act No. 12178, otherwise known as the National Education Support Personnel Day Act, the Commission on Higher Education International Affairs Service (CHED IAS) joins the Philippine higher education sector in celebrating the invaluable contributions of administrative, technical, and support staff across the nation. Signed into law on April 15, 2025, RA 12178 officially declares May 16 of every year as a Special Working Holiday dedicated to honoring non teaching and teaching related personnel.

This national legislation traces its roots to global advocacy, having been institutionalized in explicit recognition of World Education Support Personnel Day. This is an international movement championed by global education coalitions to highlight the unsung heroes of the academic ecosystem. Recognizing that academic quality relies heavily on the administrative foundation built behind the scenes, the Philippine government consolidated Senate Bill No. 2872 and House Bill No. 4896 to grant the support sector its permanent day of national gratitude.

For the CHED IAS, this celebration directly underscores the core drivers of internationalization. The success of global student and faculty mobility, the processing of international transnational agreements, and the meticulous document lifecycle management required for global institutional rankings are all powered by administrative and technical professionals. Through this announcement, the Commission expresses its deepest gratitude to the registrars, liaison officers, technical assistants, and administrative staff who serve as the vital backbone pushing Philippine higher education onto the global stage.
