Tarlac Agricultural University’s (TAU) first flag ceremony of 2026 unfolds on 5 January in front of the Gilberto O. Teodoro Multipurpose Center. The University community stands at attention as the flag ascends, and as the final notes of the TAU Hymn fade, the series of announcements begins.

The Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) opens the program by honoring the January birthday celebrators with greetings and a prayer. Dr. Ruben A. Parazo, Dean of the College of Engineering and Technology (CET), then steps forward to share encouraging news: the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Licensure Examination (ABELE) results surpass both TAU’s previous performances and the national passing rate.

This achievement is complemented by Dr. Claire Anne A. Olivares, Dean of the College of Education (CEd), who reports that the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT) performance exceeds the national benchmark. She also discloses CEd’s distinction as a Top 8 Teacher Education Institution (TEI) for the Elementary level.

Meanwhile, the TAU Laboratory School’s official student publication, The Tillers, presents the successful outcomes of the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC), recognizing the achievements of its young campus journalists. A note of urgency follows as Mr. Dante A. Revamonte, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for Finance, reminds employees that the deadline for reimbursement requests and all other claims is set on 6 January. Ms. Maria Regina M. Pablo, Director of Admission and Registration Services (ARS), then outlines the road ahead by detailing the schedule of upcoming academic activities, with particular emphasis on enrollment dates.

To conclude the ceremony, TAU President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson delivers an inspirational message for the new year. He speaks of gratitude, collaboration, and a shared mission to write new stories for the next generation. He calls for unity, urging everyone to uplift one another and move beyond zero-sum thinking.
