There is no greater joy for an alma mater than to see its children return, not just with dreams in their hearts, but with gold bars on their shoulders.
The Saint Joseph College – College of Criminology beams with boundless pride as we welcome back our newly commissioned Philippine Army officers! Fresh from graduating from the rigorous Officer Candidate Course (OCC) last July 4, 2026, these brave Josephians recently visited the halls where their journeys first began:
2LT Mylene V. Cabal, PA
(BS Criminology, Class of 2022 | Registered Criminologist | OCC-ROTC, Talagilab Class 03-2026)
2LT Reo S. Melchor, PA
(BS Criminology, Class of 2024)
2LT Jessuel G. Olojan, PA
(BS Criminology, Class of 2023 | Registered Criminologist)
It was a true honor to have LTC Arturo M. Dumalagan (INF) PA join them for this homecoming. They were warmly received and welcomed by our proud Dean of the College of Criminology, Franco M. Bandibas, RCrim, MSCJ.
"The road to the commission is paved with sweat, tears, and relentless discipline. To see you stand tall today makes every hardship worth it."
The entire College of Criminology sends its warmest congratulations to you all. From the quiet dedication of your student days to the ultimate triumph of your commission, you have shown us what true perseverance looks like. Thank you for proving that with faith, grit, and the Josephian spirit, even our highest aspirations can become reality.
May you lead with courage, protect with integrity, and always stand as pillars of hope for our nation.

“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.
