CLSU Honors Outstanding Alumni with the “Gintong Butil Award”

For 119 years, alumni of Central Luzon State University (CLSU) have been the institution's cornerstone, serving as global ambassadors across diverse fields. As part of the celebration of the Founding Anniversary, the CLSU Administration honors exceptional alumni for their invaluable contributions and the prestige they have brought to their alma mater on April 16, 2026, at the University Auditorium. This year marked a significant transition for the Gintong Butil Award, as it was previously managed by the Alumni Association Inc. headed by Dir. Nemesio V. Torres, and is now officially under the CLSU Administration through the Alumni Relations Division, led by Asst. Prof. Henrison Sanchez. During the event, Dr. Emmanuel M. Vera Cruz, Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Extension, delivered a welcome message that reaffirmed the university's commitment to nurturing future leaders. He noted that the gathering was not only to recognize achievements but to honor the unique journeys that began within the university’s halls. He further emphasized that the Gintong Butil Awards serve as a reminder that true success is measured by how it is shared. “The Gintong Butil Award reminds us that success is not measured by personal achievements alone, but by how that success is shared, whether through service, innovation, generosity, or collaboration. Our awardees embody the ideals of excellence, purpose, and leadership with heart. As we honor them today, we also reaffirm our commitment as a university to continue nurturing future Butil, who will one day carry forward the mission of service and nation-building.” The university proudly recognized four outstanding awardees who have brought immense honor to the institution: 1. Dr. Jovino L. De Dios received the Butil ng Paglilingkod (Service Award) 2. Mr. Ronald S. Leabres was honored with the Butil ng Inspirasyon (Inspiration Award) 3. USHS Class of 2003 was granted the Butil ng Pagkakawanggawa (Philanthropy Award) received by Ms. Kristel Marie Orden, Ms. Rosselnova Alfonso-Canasa, Ms. Kristine Grace Dalusong-Waing, and Atty. Arvin Randy Teo 4. Leo A. Macalanda received the Gawad Kahusayan sa Palakasan (Special Award for Excellence in Sports) Speaking on behalf of the awardees, Mr. Ronald S. Leabres conveyed a deep sense of gratitude and a lasting promise to the university, stating: “Kung kami ay naging mga leader sa aming komunidad at propesyon, ito ay dahil sa mga aral, disiplina at pagpapahalagang itinanim sa amin ng CLSU. Dito kami hinubog, dito kami tinuruan hindi lamang kung paano magtagumpay kundi paano maging makabuluhan, kaya saanman kami dalhin ng aming propesyon, maging sa trabaho, mga organisasyon, iba't ibang panig man ng bansa at sa mundo, dala-dala namin ang pangalan ng CLSU. Ipinagmamalaki namin ito, sapagkat naniniwala kami na kung wala ang institusyon na ito, hindi kami magiging sino kami ngayon.” The ceremony concluded with a congratulatory message from Dr. Karenina Romualdo, Vice President for Business Affairs, who praised the awardees for their perseverance and their choice to lead with integrity. “Sa bawat hakbang na inyong tinahak, dala ninyo ang pag-asa ng inyong pamilya at ngayon, dala ninyo ang karangalan ng ating mahal na CLSU. Maraming salamat sa inyong pagpupunyagi at patuloy na pagpili—pagpili na maging tapat, mahusay at may malasakit sa inyong ginagawa. Sa pamamagitan ninyo ay napapatunayan na ang iskolar ng CLSU ay hindi lamang mahusay sa akademya, kundi may puso sa bayan at malasakit sa kapwa.” As the event concluded, the atmosphere was filled with a renewed sense of pride, reminding everyone that each alumnus is the living embodiment of the university’s mission. #CLSULiwanagatLakas #SievingForExcellence #CLSUGintongButil

CLSU Receives the “Mother of All Philippine Maps” at 119th Founding Anniversary

In a landmark event for cultural heritage and national sovereignty, Central Luzon State University (CLSU) officially received an authenticated copy of the 1734 Murillo Velarde Map on April 16, 2026, at the University Auditorium. Hailed as the "Mother of All Philippine Maps," the 300-year-old document served as a crucial evidence in the 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling regarding the West Philippine Sea. Opening the ceremony, Dr. Ravelina Velasco, Vice President for Academic Affairs, underscored the map’s significance, saying: “It is an enduring testament to the Filipino people's identity. For CLSU, the presence of this map within our institution is both an honor and a responsibility. As a university grounded in science, agriculture, and innovation, we are reminded that knowledge is deeply rooted in history.” The donation was presented by Mr. Mel Velasco Velarde, Chairman of the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication (AIJC) and the NOW Group. During his address, Mr. Velarde highlighted that Nueva Ecija was already documented on the map nearly three centuries ago. “This map reminds us that places like Nueva Ecija were already part of a living geography of land, river, labor, memory, and community long before the modern nation took its present form. This is why I did not come here merely to donate a map. I came here to return a witness,” Mr. Velarde said. He further noted that Nueva Ecija is central to the Philippine story, having fed the nation and maintained a "profound dignity" through its history of labor and community. To formalize the donation, University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella and Mr. Velarde signed a Deed of Donation, witnessed by university officials and AIJC President Ms. Therese San Diego Torres. In his acceptance speech, Dr. Ariel G. Mactal, Vice President for Administration, highlighted the map's role in the Filipino identity by invoking the powerful words of Carlos P. Romulo: “I am a Filipino, inheritor of the glorious past, hostage of the uncertain future… I am a Filipino born to freedom. And I shall not rest until freedom shall have been added unto my inheritance. For myself, and for my children's children, forever.” Dr. Mactal further expressed profound gratitude to Mr. Velarde and pledged that the university would ensure the map continues its legacy as a vital educational tool. “We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Velarde for his remarkable generosity and patriotism… CLSU embraces its role as a steward of this cultural treasure. We commit to preserving its value and ensuring that it becomes an active instrument of learning… May this map inspire our students to appreciate the depth of our history, to take pride in our identity, and to remain mindful of the responsibility of safeguarding our nation's heritage,” he said. The authenticated copy will be permanently displayed at the Dungon: Museo de CLSU, where it will serve as a source of inspiration for the CLSU community and future generations of Filipinos. #CLSULiwanagatLakas #CLSU119 #SievingForExcellence

President Abella Delivers 2026 State of the University Address

Marking the 119th founding anniversary of Central Luzon State University (CLSU), University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella successfully delivered a powerful State of the University Address (SUA) anchored on the theme “Liwanag at Lakas: CLSU sa Pagsulong ng Maginhawang Bukas” during the Special Joint Session of the Program Councils held at the University Auditorium on April 16, 2026. Speaking before the Board of Regents, employees, students, alumni, and partners, Dr. Abella shared a comprehensive narrative of the university’s journey - a transition from addressing "institutional pains" to celebrating global "podium finishes” using his own version of 4Ps. The first “P” stands for Pains (Mga Hamon at Katotohanan). President Abella began his address openly, acknowledging the structural and systemic challenges the university has encountered, including limitations within the learning environment, excessive workloads, and mental health concerns. He emphasized that these issues are not just institutional flaws or mere statistics; they are human stories. "We do not hide these challenges; we accept them as reminders of what we can and must change,” he stated. The second “P” signifies Progress (Mga Pagbabago). To heal these "pains," the administration implemented the E-TREATMENTS framework, which has yielded significant results across all areas of university operations. This progress is especially evident in student welfare, infrastructure improvements, benefits and privileges for employees, research, partnerships, international mobility, and transparent governance. The third “P” is Podium (Mga Tagumpay). President Abella recognized faculty and staff who received distinguished awards and commended outstanding students for their achievements in research, poster presentations, journalism, quiz bee, sports, and national cultural contests. Likewise, he highlighted institutional recognitions and global rankings. “Ang mga pagkilalang ito ay hindi lamang mga parangal; ito ay malinaw na patunay ng ating sama-samang dedikasyon sa kalidad, integridad, at patuloy na pag-unlad bilang isang pamantasan,” said President Abella. The final “P” is Pursuits (Mga Susunod na Hakbang at Pangarap). Looking to the future, President Abella reaffirmed the university's goal of becoming a Premier Education Economic Zone by 2030. “We will continue to listen. We will continue to act. And we will continue to transform,” said President Abella. To conclude his speech, President Abella expressed heartfelt appreciation for everyone who contributed significantly to the success of the University particularly the employees, students, industry partners, alumni, and the Board of Regents, and called for continued unity to build a sustainable and inclusive future for all CLSU stakeholders. #CLSULiwanagatLakas #SievingForExcellence
