Today, 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟗, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, we commemorate the 𝟖𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐧 – a day to honor the courage of Filipino and American soldiers who fought in Bataan during World War II.

We remember the Fall of Bataan and the ensuing Death March, where thousands suffered and perished. Their sacrifice was not in vain. It became the bedrock of our nation's pursuit of freedom and dignity.

Let us pay tribute to our veterans, living and departed, and renew our pledge to uphold the values they defended: 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒎, 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒘𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚.

The Industrial Engineering (IE) and Electronics Engineering (ECE) students, faculty members, and guests of WMSU gathered at the Covered Court for the much-anticipated IECE Expo on March 26, 2026—with the theme, 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢: 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬, 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲. The program was hosted by 𝐌𝐬. 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐋. 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐫. The event pushed through successfully with the supervision of the 𝟑𝐫𝐝-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐒𝐈𝐄 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, headed by their batch president, 𝐌𝐫. 𝐑𝐚𝐬𝐝𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐬.

The IECE Expo 2026 opened with a strong welcome remark from the College of Engineering Dean, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐂. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞, followed by the inspiring speech of the University President, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐌𝐚. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐚 𝐀. 𝐎𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚, as represented by the Vice President for Administration and Finance (VPAF), 𝐌𝐫. 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥. In his message, VPAF Madronal highlighted the university's role in fostering student-led innovation to address local economic needs. The rationale of the competition and the criteria for judging were presented by Capstone Project Chairman, 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐫. 𝐑𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐧 𝐀. 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨.

The event continued with the viewing of 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬. Providing a break, the collaborative educational videos and humorous skits prepared by the 𝟐𝐧𝐝-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐒𝐈𝐄 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.

After the engaging segment, the 𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 of the higher years took place. The atmosphere grew tense as nerves set in, but as part of the 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐈𝐄𝐥𝐲, everyone still showed their support, cheering each other on throughout the presentations, highlighting a friendly competition. In addition to that, everyone was united for the intermission dance number of the 𝟏𝐬𝐭-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐒𝐈𝐄 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, along with the others who sang along.

The afternoon's highlight was the 𝐮𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐬 where the projects showcased a sophisticated blend of IE efficiency and ECE automation. The student teams defended their "Smart Agri" innovations, which included: 𝐆𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 (precision farming and resource management), 𝐀𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 (aquaculture safety), 𝐈𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 (seaweed monitoring and crustacean farming), and 𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 (automated mushroom climate control).

As the event approached its end, the upper-year students gave their 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬—personal insights about their journey—and left an inspiring message for the audience. They emphasized the importance of 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 with colleagues and mentors, and how their lives changed in the process of 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬.

𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞; 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐧, 𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞, 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐲." — 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰 28:6

There is something so gentle yet so powerful about Easter. It reminds us that even in the moments when everything feels heavy and uncertain, when silence is loud and hope feels far away, God is already moving in ways we cannot see.

The empty tomb is a story and a reminder that endings are not always what they seem. That pain can turn into purpose. That loss can make room for something greater. And that no matter how long the night feels, morning will always come.

Today, we are reminded to hold on a little tighter to faith, to trust a little deeper, and to believe that the same power that brought life back can also breathe life into the parts of us that feel tired and lost.

Easter is about renewal. It is about choosing to rise again, even when it is hard, even when it hurts, even when we are unsure.

𝐇𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡, 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞. 𝐀 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭, 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐮𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲.

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲!
