A meaningful day for the Psychology Department as we had the privilege of paying a courtesy call at the Office of the President, together with our very own topnotcher, Gabriel Batausa.
This occasion was more than simply a visit it was a celebration of excellence and a recognition of the hard work, dedication, and perseverance behind an achievement that brought immense pride to our department and the university. Gabrielโs success stands as a testament to what can be achieved through determination, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to oneโs goals.
We are equally grateful for the opportunity to express our appreciation to Dr. Ma. Carla A. Ochotorena for her continued support of the Psychology Department. Your encouragement and support for our students, faculty, and initiatives are deeply valued. Your commitment to helping the department grow and providing opportunities for our students to thrive is something we truly appreciate.
Behind every milestone is a community that believes, supports, and inspires. From the classroom to the university administration, the journey toward excellence is strengthened by the people who continue to stand behind our students and the department. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Berhana I. Flores, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dr. Fhadzralyn Aidil-Karanain, our College Dean, for their continued guidance and support for the Psychology Department and our students. Their leadership and commitment to fostering an environment where students can grow, excel, and pursue their aspirations remain an important part of every milestone we celebrate.
As we welcome this achievement, may Gabrielโs success serve as an inspiration to every Sikolohistaโa reminder that excellence is not achieved overnight, but built through countless hours of preparation, perseverance, and faith in oneโs abilities.
To Gabriel, congratulations once again! Your achievement is not only a personal milestone but also a moment of pride for the Psychology Department and the entire university community. May you continue to carry this achievement with humility and use it as a stepping stone toward greater accomplishments in the field of Psychology.
And to everyone who continues to support the dreams and aspirations of our students, thank you for believing in the potential of every Sikolohista. ๐
