Mr. Earl Peter Bonita, the Local Youth Development Officer of Caramoan, Camarines Sur, served as the Guest Speaker.

Different sets of awards, including service, leadership, and outstanding community Projects, were also given to the students. Service and leadership awardees were recognized for their exceptional service, practical leadership skills, dedication, reliable commitment, and impactful fulfillment of all the responsibilities and duties. Two projects, namely Coastal Harmony and Sustainability (Group 10; Barangay Guijalo) and the Magtulungan Para sa Kalinisan ng Kalikasan of Group 1 (Paniman), were awarded in recognition of the project's impactful and nuanced implementation, efficient execution, and timely relevance in line with the goals of community immersion and the university. Certificates of appreciation were also presented to the partner communities and institutions for their proactive participation and collaboration with all the activities laid out by the students.
The awards were given to the students by the NSTP Instructor, Mr. Eljenmer L. Sindo; OSAS Coordinator, Ms. Carol P. Valencia; the OIC-College Dean, Mr. Diomerl Edward B. Baldo; the Guest Speaker, Mr. Earl Peter Bonita, and assisted by the Program Director, Ms. Sharmine Nunez, and the College Registrar, Ms. Marjorie B. Tuscano.
