The two-day event, hosted by RUTS Songhkla Campus, provided university-level English instructors with fresh perspectives, innovative models, and effective teaching strategies in the use of technology designed to meet the evolving demands of English Language Education in Thailand. One of the highlights of the seminar workshop was the presentation of teaching models by CED faculty members - Dr. Myla L. Santos and Dr. Rolando D. Dollete. With over three decades of experience in curriculum design and teacher training, they both shared actionable insights on using more English in the classroom and teaching methods with digital tools to create more engaging and student-centered learning environments. The event featured panel discussions and collaborative activities on task-based learning, assessment in multilingual classrooms, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in language education. “This workshop was not just about teaching English—it was about transforming classrooms into spaces where students actively use the English language to explore, express, and connect,” said Dr. Panumas Suybangdum, RUTS Vice President during the opening program. Dr. Somporn Chunaowarat, Director of the RUTS Language Center, in turn, emphasized the seminar’s role in professional development stating “This event equips our instructors with innovative and practical tools to elevate their teaching in English and, ultimately, their students' success.

Guided by the theme “Generation of Unity: Partners for the New Philippines”, the event honors the hard work and achievements of 77 Senior High School Graduates and 66 Junior High School Completers. Mr. Nathan Danedith Benedicto was named class valedictorian, leading his batch with 33 high honor recipients and 39 with honor awards. Among the Junior High School completers, Ms. Angela Patriz A. Geronimo led her class, with two others receiving the highest honors, 18 with high honors, and 41 with honors. Both of them delivered inspiring messages to their fellow graduates. Meanwhile, in his keynote address, President Abella warmly congratulated the students on successfully navigating their academic journeys and acknowledged their resilience, stating, "Alam ko na marami kayong kwento paano nyo napagtagumpayan, naipasa, nakabawi at natagpos ang inyong mga subjects. Mga panahong hindi natutulog para sa investigatory projects and research, and yet nakakuha pa rin ng mababang marka, ang iba pa nga ay nagkaroon ng line of 7 na marka, pero hindi kayo sumuko. You have hurdled them all.” He also emphasized the true meaning of excellence and intelligence, urging them to become better Filipino citizens. “As young Filipinos, do not wait to be asked to care, to help, to act. Be the one who sees the good in others and helps bring out the best in them. Be someone who is not just excellent in academics, but excellent in character,” said Dr. Abella. Moreover, he extended his heartfelt congratulations to the parents, recognizing their unwavering sacrifices. He offered crucial advice, stressing the importance of encouragement over pressure. “Let our love be their compass to reach their dreams, because we are their strongest support system. Do not pressure your children. Kapag mababa po ang nakuha na marka, wag ninyong pagagalitan, bagkus iencourage. Wag nyong hahanapin ang sarili ninyo sa anak ninyo sapagkat ang anak ninyo ay unique individuals. Ang kaylangan ng anak natin ay pag uunawa sa panahon ng kanilang pagkakalugmok at malalim na problem,” he expresses. On the other hand, Dr. Emmanuel Vera Cruz, Vice President for Research and Extension and Dr. Rubigilda P. Alili, University Research Program Office Director, presented the Merit Awards for best thesis, scientist award, and leaders of the year award.
