The Project Development Team is one with PNU community's grief on the loss of dear Dr. Tito Baclagan. Dr. Baclagan was part of the LiSQuP academic faculty, who taught courses in the MA Counseling programs. Our heart also goes out to the bereaved family and friends.

Let us pause for a moment and honor the memory of Dr. Baclagan. 🕊

The Student Affairs and Services Office family deeply mourns the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Dr. Tito Baclagan.

Dr. Baclagan served as a Discipline Officer under the former Office of Student Affairs and Student Services (OSASS), now SASO. He continued his dedicated service as a Counselor and Coordinator for Special Populations, guiding and supporting PNU students from the undergraduate to the graduate level.

Your gentle words and caring spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those you have helped and inspired. Rest in peace, Sir Tito. 🕊️
