“Success is not just about reaching the goal, but having the courage to start and the strength to keep going.”

Such a proud and heartwarming moment for our newly registered criminologists!

The passers from Saint Joseph College of Criminology gathered in Palo, Leyte, to take their oath last April 18, 2026, officially stepping into a brand-new chapter of their journey. With the guidance of Assistant Dean Treza Mae Tomol, RCrim, the day felt extra meaningful, filled with pride, gratitude, and a deep sense of purpose.

All the sleepless nights, doubts, and sacrifices have finally paid off. This moment is proof that your hard work and determination were all worth it, from students to professionals ready to serve and protect. You truly made it.

May this milestone remind you of how far you’ve come, and inspire you to keep striving for excellence in everything ahead. The badge you carry is more than a title, it’s a commitment to serve with integrity and make a difference.
