Meanwhile, Dr. Ronald U. Wacas, CEIT Dean, informed that their college is conducting free civil service examination review. The review program, proposed by BS Mathematics Chairperson, Pommy Frances Viloria, caters to students from non-board programs under CEIT. The initiative aims to strengthen students’ preparedness for professional eligibility examinations and has already produced encouraging results, with many CEIT students successfully passing the recent Civil Service Professional Examinations.

University President Dr. Joy Grace P. Doctor commended Bayongasan for bringing honor to the university and for demonstrating that KSU students can excel not only in academics but also in national competency examinations.

Bayongasan’s story stands as evidence to determination, innovation, and perseverance. These are the qualities that continue to define KSU graduates as they move beyond the Cordilleras and into a future of limitless opportunities.
