The first part of the celebration was a Holy Eucharistic Mass officiated by Rev. Fr. Lovell Soller, Parochial Vicar of St. John Sahagun Parish.
After the mass, the key officials took part in the ceremonial wine toasting and cake slicing which symbolized the unity embodied by the ISPSC employees and their commitment to realizing the vision and mission of the college.
One of the highlights of the event is the “ISPSC Family Day: Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga Day” which was an opportunity for the employees to mingle with their colleagues from other campus and establish the spirit of camaraderie and oneness.
Wearing their awe-inspiring Barong and Filipiniana attire, the employees entered the gymnasium as they march their way to the stage carrying the name of their respective campuses with pride.
Main Campus Director Dr. Apolo S. Francisco delivered a heartwarming welcome remark that emphasized the contribution of every public servant from the institution.
“Through our unwavering commitment, we have created a ripple effect that extends far beyond ourselves inspiring the generations to come,” Dr. Francisco expressed.

Ferrer, shared an inspirational message encouraging ISPSC public servants to reflect on what it means to be agile and transformative on their respective roles.
“Agility in our work means cultivating an environment that embraces solutions over problems,” Dr. Ferrer mentioned.
She also pointed out that being a public servant means being conduit of transformation embracing the challenge of a future-forward approach and nurturing a culture that makes a room for new ideas and robust decisions.
“We always have to be mindful of our responsibilities as public servants, commitment to our duties, integrity in our actions, and loyalty to the public that we serve,” she added.
With Dr. Ferrer’s speech as a prelude to another highlight of the program, the Vice President for Finance and Administration Dr. Dominador A. Ayson, Jr. led the presentation and awarding of loyalty awardees with 10,15, 20,25, and 30 years of commendable commitment to championing public service as ISPSC employees.
