Praising God for Recent Happenings @ ICCM









I and wife Rose spent the week at the International Christian College of Manila (ICCM) campus in Antipolo City, where 3 things happened, for us all to be thankful for. Good or bad, praise the Lord.

Typhoon Basyang Wreak Havoc on Campus

On the midnight of Tuesday, July 13, typhoon Basyang unexpectedly passed through Antipolo, which wreak havoc in this campus. Trees were blown down with (mango and santol) fruits scattered around Anahaw hall, timely harvest? The entire campus was in total mess as plants were blown away, tarpaulin posters detached, some window glasses were broken, and there was no electricity for almost one-and-half day. Thus, came Wednesday, everybody in the campus hurriedly clean-up everything as CHED (Commission on Higher Education) representatives were set to come and inspect the campus by Thursday, July 15 for the routine monitoring and evaluation.

CHED Evaluates ICCM

And presto, by Thursday, everything in the ICCM campus was in order again. Concerned officers of the College waited for the CHED evaluators who arrived late in the afternoon already, as they have just finished evaluating 2 other colleges in the vicinity. Nevertheless, the wait seemed worthy as CHED evaluators gave positive feedbacks about their inspection, and found ICCM library more than enough for its curricular offering and the number of students it serves. The inspection ended up in a simple dinner-dialogue between ICCM officials and the CHED evaluators.

Election/Selection of Student Leaders @ ICCM

Meanwhile on the same day, student government was recognized by ICCM administration. They elect representatives from each of the First, Second, Third and Fourth year level, select the marshall group and the women’s group (student Dorcas) officers. Recognition of student leaders culminated through group and individual prayers.

We went back to Nueva Ecija that same night, and arrived home at exactly 1:00 AM. Despite that devastating Basyang, all praises be to God, as all things work together for good indeed. (30)
