To the President of Visayas State University, Dr. Prose Ivy Yepes; members of the Board of Regents; distinguished administrators, faculty, and staff; proud parents and families; and most importantly, to the Graduate Education Class of 2025- congratulations, and good morning to all of you!

The Visayas State University (VSU) continues to expand the reach of its public service mission with the launch of the two people-centered research projects under its newly established Center for Socio-Cultural Research and Heritage Studies. 

To our University President, Dr. Prose Ivy Guasa-Yepes, the VP for Academic Affairs Dr. Rotacio S. Gravoso, VP for Student Affairs and Services, Dr. Aleli A. Villocino, deans, faculty and staff, family and guests, and my fellow graduates, a pleasant morning. We are gathered here to celebrate a monumental chapter for the graduating class. Abi jud nakog dili nako ma stress basta nasubmit nas thesis and kompleto ng clearance, but as it turns out naa pa diay pahabol, I am tasked to write a speech that resonates in everyone that is watching. Though make no mistake, I am very flattered. 

On July 14, 2025, Visayas State University (VSU) officially turned over 18 brand-new 65-inch Interactive Flat Panel Displays to select faculties and departments during the Workshop on the Preparation of Programs for AUN-QA Assessment. This forms part of the university’s broader effort to modernize classroom instruction through digital tools.

Two students will lead VSU Class of 2025 not just in academic rank but in how they have used their education to engage with communities and bring attention to issues that matter. 

Evacuated students at Visayas State University (VSU) received free meals as heavy rains continue to affect parts of Baybay City.
