Governor Erico Boyles-Aumentado of the Province of Bohol and an alumnus of the University of Bohol (formerly Rafael Palma College) had attended the UB Grand Alumni Homecoming held last July 20, 2009, at the university quadrangle.
Along with other alumni who were in attendance, the governor described the affair as very memorable one with the proud graduates gathered back in their alma mater with their respective responsibilities in the government and private sectors. In retrospect, Gov. Aumentado recalled his student days as a working scholar of the RPC registrar’s office, editor-in-chief of the RP Collegian, president of the RPC Junior Republic and an active leader in other school organizations. To note, Aumentado became chairman of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP). Inc. Eastern Visayas, defeating Satur Ocampo (now Bayan Muna representative) who was then a budding journalist during the time. According to the governor, his political leaning was nurtured in campus politics. The governor likewise attributed his achievements as public servant to the virtues that the school had firmly instilled in the minds of the students namely, scholarship, character and service. Records showed that in Bohol majority of the professionals working and holding vital positions in the government and private entities are from the University of Bohol. As the university’s punch line goes,”Study in UB, where students today become leaders tomorrow”.
Alumni from around the world have gathered and reminisced their elementary, high school and college days in RPC and UB. Worth to mention were the gathering of the members RPC high school batch ’69 and the College of Nursing batch ’89 and ’90. (by: Leo Armando Boncales)
