Christ the King College, through its Research and Planning Office in collaboration with the Research Enthusiast Society, officially opened the P.A.G.S.U.S.U.R.I. Student Research Congress 2025, an annual event that highlighted the academic precision, creativity, and research excellence of CKCians. The event was held on November 18, 2025, at the Mother Ignacia Building–AVR, bringing together student researchers from various departments to present their outstanding work.
This year’s congress featured keynote speaker Dr. Hilrem L. Bayucot, who delivered an inspiring message on the vital role of young researchers in shaping the community. A distinguished panel composed of Patrick Glenn Y. Sacal, LPT, MAEd-ELT; Shiela P. Abatayo, LPT, MAEd; and Rodgen D. Palmes, LPT, MAEd, provided expert insights and constructive feedback on the researchers’ presentations.
Anchored on the theme “CKCians as Pilgrims of Hope: Advancing Research with Faith, Purpose, and Innovation,” the event emphasized the role of students not just as learners, but as young innovators who contributed meaningful insights to their communities. It also highlighted the institution’s belief that research served as a path toward solutions grounded in faith and a clear sense of purpose.
The congress also served as a platform for collaboration as CKC’s departments united to showcase the talents and dedication of student researchers. It underscored not only their capability to conduct quality studies but also their commitment to producing research that contributed to the betterment of society.
The Research Enthusiast Society, headed by its moderator and Research and Planning Coordinator Mr. Paul John P. Panganiban, LPT, together with RES mayor Luziel I. Ora, emphasized that the event represented the school’s ongoing mission to form learners who were prepared to lead, inspire, and innovate for a better future.
