Filamer Christian University (FCU), through its Guidance and Counseling Center (GCC), held its annual General Orientation with Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for first-year students and transferees on September 4–5 at the FCU Gymnasium.

The two-day event, attended by more than 1,000 students from eight academic departments, aimed to familiarize students with the university’s vision, mission, and goals, as well as its policies, programs, and services.

Among the offices highlighted were the Security Office, Student Affairs, Library, and Health Unit, among others.

Key university officials graced the orientation, including University President Dr. George Cortel; Human Resource Development Center Head Prof. Exequiel Calimutan; University Chaplain Rev. Bhart Natuel; Director of Libraries Mrs. Ruth Magdaluyo; Security Officer Mr. Roger Ibanez; Student Affairs Director Rev. Dr. Webster Bedecir; Mass Media Coordinator Mr. Jose Erwin Borbon; GCC Director Mrs. Phoebe Santiago; and selected college faculty members.

“Filamer is the oldest school in our province, and with its long history comes a strong reputation. By choosing to study here, you have chosen excellence,” Dr. Cortel emphasized in his message.

Following the formal orientation, the GCC staff facilitated psychosocial activities through interactive games that showcased the competitiveness and camaraderie of the different departments.

“Enjoy the experience. Filamer is not only a place for academic learning but also a venue for growth, friendship, and meaningful relationships,” Rev. Dr. Bedecir encouraged the students.
