University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella delivered a heartfelt message, urging faculty and students to honor their roots while remaining responsible and contributing members of a functional academic system. “We are responsible for building a future worthy of the sacrifice of those who came before us.

Mr. Marvin R. Soriano followed with a compelling commemorative tribute with his words: “Vivencio Saulong reminds us that heroism is defined by courage, displayed in unlikely places, and in seemingly hopeless and discouraging situations.

CLSU Opens Dungon Museum Showcasing the University’s History and Legacy

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) reached a historic milestone with the official launching of the Dungon: Museo de CLSU on February 7, 2026. Located at the strategically and meticulously repurposed former Public Affairs Office Building, the museum now serves as a dedicated repository of the university’s past and cultural heritage. The museum takes its name from the historical, century-old dungon tree, a symbol of endurance, located on campus. The museum traces the institution's history from its founding in 1907 to its recent milestones. During the event, University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella delivered an inspirational message in which he emphasized the importance of the said museum. “Ang Dungon: Museo de CLSU ay hindi lamang gusali o lagayan ng mga lumang bagay– ito ay tahanan ng mga kwento ng mga taong nag-ambag sa pag-unlad ng pamantasan,” President Abella said. Meanwhile, Assoc. Prof. Maria Adrielle Estigoy, Presidential Assistant for Strategic Communication, in her welcome message, shared, “Ang puno ng dungon ang naging piping saksi sa kasaysayan ng ating pamantasan, and now we allow that witness to finally speak—to remind us of our roots and inspire future generations to carry forward the CLSU legacy.” “The ‘Dungon’ has watched, now it speaks,” she concluded. Following the official ribbon-cutting, guests were invited to a guided tour led by students from the College of Home Science and Industry (CHSI). The event was further elevated by a stirring spoken word poetry performance by Tanghalang Gagalaw, whose evocative artistry brought the university’s history to life through verse. At the culmination of the tour is the Dungon Café, where visitors can enjoy coffee while browsing a selection of official university merchandise. Gracing the event are the Vice Presidents, members of the Administrative Council, Former President Dr. Edgar A. Orden, Board Members of the CLSU Alumni Association Incorporated, Sector Representatives, University Supreme Students Council, Collegian, and some alumni and employees. The opening of the Dungon: Museo de CLSU reaffirms the university's commitment to honoring its heritage. It stands as a living archive, a place where the past informs the present, and inspires the innovations of tomorrow.
