A new cycle in the history of Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) unfolded in 2026 as the University community welcomed a significant influx of fresh talents and renewed promises. This expansion of TAU’s core workforce reflects a strategic investment in its human capital, reinforcing the University’s mission through merit-based and inclusive appointments. Selected from a highly competitive applicant and labor pool, the new appointees bring deep-seated motivation and sustained devotion to public service.

Among the 61 newly appointed and regularized personnel were several familiar faces whose formal induction further boosted TAU’s academic and administrative pillars. Their appointments mark a notable transition, from years of provisional service to enduring partnership, one built on mutual respect and trust.

For nine years, Ms. Leslie Ann P. Rotoni served TAU’s College of Education (CEd) as an Instructor I under a Contract of Service (COS) and Temporary status, a prolonged period of professional uncertainty that tested her resolve. A holder of a Master of Arts in Education (Physical Science), she remained committed to teaching, nurturing young minds while navigating the instability inherent in contractual employment.

Her greatest challenge was deeply personal, balancing her passion for teaching at TAU with the pull of lucrative opportunities abroad. This quiet struggle reflects the sacrifices made by many COS personnel like her who continue to serve while awaiting full institutional recognition. Now, as a newly regularized Instructor I, Ms. Rotoni stands on firmer ground, strengthened by the affirmation from both her superiors and colleagues.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the trust, support, and opportunity you [TAU] have given me,” she shared. “Being promoted and supported by an organization that believes in my potential is something I truly value. I will work harder for our beloved TAU.”
