Many people have seen the university grow and develop into what it is today. The university has a built-in infrastructure, welcomes hundreds of educators and staff, and is continually being developed to suit the needs of its stakeholders in alignment with its course offerings.

Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao earns masterโ€™s degree from PCU

Former Senator Manny Pacquiao earned his masterโ€™s degree in Management majoring in Public Administration from the Philippine Christian University and attended the Universityโ€™s 79th Commencement Exercises last August 27, 2022, at PICC Pasay City, Manila.

His wife, Jinkee Pacquiao assisted him on the stage as he received his diploma. Manny is known to finish his Bachelorโ€™s Degree in Political Science at the University of Makati last 2019. โ€œPCU has fully adapted virtual learning through online classes. It opens so many doors for us to continue our studies and pushes us to continue our thirst, my thirst for educationโ€ Pacquiao said in his commencement speech. โ€œIt is never too late to dream bigger dreams.โ€ Manny also wrote on his Twitter account. With eight World Boxing Titles and two academic degrees, the boxing champ sure made his mark to surpass the norm and made sure that he was still able to pursue his dream.

PCU board of trustees

โ€˜GOD LOVES PCU!โ€™

With gladness in their hearts apparent in their smiling faces, the members of the Board of Trustees of the Philippine Christian University (PCU) pose for posterity following a historic meeting. Dr. Junifen F. Gauuan (fourth from left, front row) was reelected president of the University, along with Dr. Kathleen Guimbatan as vice president for academic affairs and Mr. Raul R. Cacho as university treasurer. Also re-elected were: Atty. Perfecto Yasay, chairman (third from left, from row); Judge Edwin G. Larida Jr., vice chairman (extreme left, front row); and Mr. Reiner R. Puno, corporate treasurer. The Rev. Rannieh B. Mercado replaced Dr. Ruth G. de Lara as board secretary (left, third row).

The PCU Board of Trustees met last Saturday, June 8, 2019. โ€œGod loves PCU!โ€ Dr. Gauuan remarked when asked about his reelection. โ€œI thanked the Board members both from the United Methodist Church (UMC) and the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) for their solid support.โ€

Also in the picture were: (from left) Judge Larida of UMC, Bishop Rodolfo A. Juan also of UMC; Chairman Yasay of UCCP; PCU President Dr. Gauuan; Bishop Emergencio Padillo of UCCP; and Bishop Ciriaco Q. Francisco of UMC; (from left, second row) Atty. Nimia Peralta and newly elected BOT member Dr. Rebecca Kathleen Vidal, both of UMC; (from left, third row) the Rev. Rannieh B. Mercado of UCCP; Bishop Reuel Norman O. Marigza of UCCP; Engr. Robert C. Regala of UMC; Bishop Melzar D. Labuntog of UCCP; and Mr. Reiner Reyes Puno of UMC. Members of the PCU Board who were not in the photo are Mr. Lauro C. Millan and Bishop Jessie S. Suarez, both of UCCP. Dr. Gauuan thanked the members of the Board โ€œfor their wisdom in knowing the truth about his leadership.โ€

He admitted that there were attempts โ€œfrom some sectorsโ€ to spread misleading information that he was dividing the University instead of uniting. โ€œThank God, the Board members were discerning enough to know that my efforts were quite the contrary.โ€ With the unquestionable mandate from the Board, Dr. Gauuan is poised to face and solve the challenges PCU is facing. He said among his first moves is to identify, train, and give responsibilities to potential leaders who will guide PCU to excellence in the 21st century.

PCU Dasma This Band

This Bandโ€™ rocks PCU-D concert

Last March 21, a band called โ€œThis Bandโ€ joined other musical groups in a concert to entertain the Philippine Christian University-Dasmariรฑas Campus (PCU-D) community.

The campus environmental concert was dubbed, โ€œEngkwentro 2019โ€ and held at PCUโ€™s Elementary School Department (ESD) grounds. โ€œThis Bandโ€–composed of Melvin Carson, Miccael Galvan, Reymart Gubat, Luwie Loira, John Macaranas and Andrea Manzano–has ended its fansโ€™ long wait when it finally performed at the โ€œhome of the Dolphins.โ€

The band members did not disappoint. Their all-out performance showed so much energy and their heart-wrenching music touched the audienceโ€™s heart. They started off with their pop rock song โ€œTampisawโ€, followed by their newly released singles โ€œLigaya?โ€ and โ€œโ€˜Di Na Babalik.โ€ They also covered a December Avenue song, โ€œSa Ngalan Ng Pag Ibig.โ€ Next was, โ€œHindi Na Nga.โ€ For their last performance, they sang their top hit single entitled, โ€œKahit Ayaw Mo Na,โ€ which captured the concert-goersโ€™ attention because of its entrancing melody.

The six-member OPM indie band shared their music with at least 1,800 attendees of the said event.
