A total of 116 awardees were honored during the employee awarding.

Among the awardees were the faculty members from the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Social Sciences.

This initiative contributed to CMU’s national recognition as a recipient of the Kinang Award from the Department of the Interior and Local Government–Local Government Academy on December 10, 2025.

Meanwhile, employees who excelled during the Faculty and Staff Palaro 2025, held on December 15, were also recognized. University Sports Coordinator Prof. Procopio B. Galendez announced that all first-, second-, and third-place winners in the event will receive cash prizes.

The convocation consisted of two parts: a thanksgiving Mass and a ceremonial program that included the flag-raising ceremony and employee awarding. The event was sponsored by the Administrative Council members, who also provided free arroz caldo and bread to employees and students. [Mary Jane D. Bravo]
