Maraña, Vice President for Academics, who officially welcomed the participants and underscored the value of collaborative learning in fostering academic excellence.

An inspiring message was then delivered by Sir Christian Lloyd Rivera, CPA, MSA, emphasizing the significance of the Student Study Group Program as an avenue for strengthening academic foundations, promoting discipline, and preparing future Certified Public Accountants through consistent learning and peer collaboration.

The launch also featured the presentation of the Accounting Major subjects that will be covered throughout the program, namely Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards (CFAS), Intermediate Accounting 2 (IA2), Financial Management 1 (FINMAN1), and Strategic Cost Management (STRATCOST). Alongside this, the designated student teachers for each subject were formally introduced, marking the beginning of a collaborative learning environment where JPIAns learn with and from one another.

The successful launch concluded with a photo opportunity, commemorating the opening of a new chapter where preparation transforms into progress, collaboration nurtures excellence, and every lesson brings future CPAs one step closer to their aspirations.

To the JPIAns who stand at the threshold of knowledge,

The hour of awakening has yet to arrive.

The gates of the Student Study Group Program (SSGP), once destined to open today, shall remain sealed for a little while longer. Though the beginning of this journey has been postponed, the pursuit of growth and excellence remains steadfast.

Every meaningful quest requires the right moment, and every great undertaking deserves the preparation it needs. Before the first chapter unfolds and the path ahead is revealed, the foundations must be strengthened to create an experience worthy of every JPIAn’s pursuit of knowledge.

The gates shall finally open tomorrow, July 15, 2026, from 12:00 NN to 1:00 PM, as the Student Study Group Program (SSGP) officially begins its journey toward collaborative learning, academic growth, and excellence.

Until then, may curiosity remain alive, determination remain unwavering, and the desire to learn continue to burn brightly.

The journey has not ended—it awaits its destined hour.
