In his speech, guest speaker and BSN Batch 2006 alumnus, Dr. Joel B. Serad, emphasized the edge of being a Visayanian nurse.
He shared that a "Visayanian nurse is like a bamboo, resilient in all adversities, always and forever will be the best nurse in a hospital or in [any other] institutions [they may be found].
A Holy Mass was celebrated before the start of the capping ceremony.
University President Dr. Conrado E. Iñigo, Jr. and Executive Board Treasurer Dr. Leopold Gullas-Lucero graced the event along with the vice presidents, CAHS faculty members, parents, and guests.
