NMCCI Commencement Exercises 2026 Highlight Academic Achievement

Northwestern Mindanao Christian Colleges, Inc. (NMCCI) successfully conducted its Commencement Exercises 2026 on March 30, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., bringing together graduates, parents, faculty members, school administrators, staff, and distinguished guests in a solemn celebration of academic completion and institutional pride.

The ceremony honored both the High School Department and the College Department, reflecting NMCCI’s continuing commitment to quality education and the holistic formation of its learners. The program featured the academic procession, opening ceremonies, presentation of candidates for graduation, confirmation and acceptance of graduates, conferral of degrees, distribution of diplomas and awards, special messages, and the recessional.

A particularly significant feature of this year’s commencement exercises was the institution’s use of the ceremonial scroll diploma during the graduation rites instead of the ordinary document-style diploma. This served as an important highlight of the event and underscored NMCCI’s effort to preserve the dignity, symbolism, and visual identity traditionally associated with graduation. The ceremonial scroll has long represented academic completion, solemn transition, and the honor of being formally recognized before the academic community. Its use added distinction to the ceremony and reinforced the deeper meaning of commencement as a milestone worthy of reverence and memory.

The program also gave due recognition to student excellence and leadership through the delivery of special addresses by members of the graduating class. The Valedictory Speech was delivered by Aiza S. Coyme, while the Salutatory Speech was given by Fe M. Tulbo. A Message of Gratitude was delivered by Kate Desiree G. Bongales, a graduate of B.A. in Economics, and the Pledge of Loyalty was led by Daisy Rose M. Alvarez, a Senior High School graduate with honors.

The ceremony was further enriched by the Commencement Address of Rowelyn B. Nob, LPT, who served as the guest speaker and was formally introduced by Michell M. Corpuz, LPT, Grade 12 Adviser. Their participation added inspiration and substance to the celebration, encouraging the graduates to carry forward the values, discipline, and aspirations nurtured during their years at NMCCI.

More than a formal academic exercise, the Commencement Exercises 2026 stood as a meaningful expression of gratitude, achievement, and hope. It marked not only the culmination of years of study and perseverance, but also the beginning of new responsibilities and opportunities for the graduates. Through the solemnity of its rites, the recognition of academic excellence, and the symbolic use of the ceremonial scroll diploma, NMCCI reaffirmed its commitment to honoring graduation as a moment of dignity, tradition, and lasting significance.
