Cebu Technological University proudly raises its banner of achievement as it clinches the prestigious “People’s Choice Award” in the Spoken Word Poetry Category of the ASEAN Commemorative Contest 2023 organized by the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office 7. This remarkable feat was achieved in celebration of the 56th Founding Anniversary of ASEAN, under the resonating theme “ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth” on November, 2023.

At the heart of this triumph stands Mr. Cris Herda, a BEED-2 student of the campus. Under the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Collin C. Garrido, Cris Herda crafted a piece reverberating the hearts of the many entitled “I am Okay” (Okay Lang Ako). This poignant work delves into the depths of the human spirit, portraying resilience amidst adversity and unwavering faith in the divine presence in the context of relationships.

Upon receiving this milestone, Dr. Benjay T. Quijano, the OIC-Dean of the College of Education, alongside Dr. Collin C. Garrido and Cris Herda, paid a courtesy visit to Dr. Jonita V. Literatus, CTU-SF Campus Director, to extend their gratitude of relentless support and share the jubilation of this remarkable victory. / Leah Angela Ortadilla
