CIC Newsletter Volume 9 – The Graduation Ceremony

On September 1, 2012, Concordia International College in the Philippines never looked so good. Concordia-Philippines successfully held its second Commencement Ceremonies  with its theme “Raising   CIC ‘s  Bar of Excellence”.  The Function Room of the Tropicana Suites in Manila  came alive as  the  2012 Graduates  in high spirit  received  their diploma in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, TEC (Teaching English to Children)  and  Certificate Course in   Business Communication leading to the Diploma in Business and Development for  professionals.

The ceremony  was on target with the Entrance of Colors led by Marshall Joed Lachica  himself  a TESOL/TEC graduate and  a regular ESL teacher (English as a Second Language )  of Concordia-Philippines. The parade  of the CIC administrative staff ,composed of  its Registrar Daphne Estanislao, Marketing Head Zarah de Vera, VP Operations Marisen Jerusalem and its President, Dr. Violeta  formally signalled the start of the ceremony. The highlight of the event  is the  speech  of Dr. Lilian Enriquez of the Commission of Higher Education, National Capital Region, as its  honoured Guest  and Commencement Speaker who gave prestige to the  affair.
