The highly anticipated academic ceremony has finally taken place: the Dean’s List Recognition Ceremony. On August 06, 2025, at 8:30 in the morning, the Higher Education Department held its Dean’s List Recognition for the Second Semester of the Academic Year 2024–2025. This momentous event was held at Canteen 2 of the Mother Ignacia Building of Christ the King College, with the theme, “Rooted in Faith, Soaring in Excellence: Honoring Academic Achievers the Ignacian-Marian Way.”
During the event, Mr. Paul Rem Jee Diaz, LPT, MAFil, PhD (Occ.), the Dean of Student Affairs, recognized twenty-eight (28) students from the Teacher Education Program, five (5) from the Accountancy Program, four (4) from the Business Administration Program, five (5) from the Information Technology Program, and thirty-four (34) from the Social Work Program for their exemplary academic performance.
One of the highlights of the program was when Mr. Paul Rem Jee Diaz shared a powerful line in his remarks: “You are not just honor students; you are honorable students,” a timely reminder for students to reflect on the underlying responsibilities that come with the merit they have received. This line was later reiterated by Dr. Carmelita C. Labadan, PhD, further emphasizing the significance of one’s character.
Moreover, the success of the event was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Carmelita C. Labadan; the Dean of Student Affairs, Mr. Paul Rem Jee Diaz; the Quality Assurance Coordinator, Mr. Pericles G. Aninion; program heads; and dedicated faculty and staff. Complementing their efforts, the ceremony was gracefully hosted by Nesciel Agustinez, who guided the flow of the program.
Indeed, CKCians are rooted in faith, soaring in excellence, and are triumphantly honored in the Ignacian-Marian way.
