Grace, Love, Authenticity and Integrity
In preparation for the opening of the
new Academic Year 2015-2016, the faculty
of Riverside College were inspired by Fr.
Nitodel Soriano in a Recollection where he
shared with the group the Ten Secrets of
Pope Francis for living a holy life.
First secret is to follow God with your
whole life without compromise, without
hypocrisy; second, to get your sense of
security from God’s love and not on material
things; third, to always serve others with
gladness; fourth, to learn to suffer with
those who suffer, and rejoice with those
who rejoice; fifth, to bear suffering and
adversity without hatred; sixth,to respond

After training in The Medical City in
Metro Manila, Clinical Instructors
Joemarie Dy and Dennis Escalona are now
ready to share their experience in ”Critical
Care Nursing.”

Association of the Philippines, Inc., the
training has equipped the two CIs in
preparation for the offering of a
Specialized Nursing Program this coming
July, 2015.
The program is one of the innovations
in the Graduate School program of
Riverside headed by its Dean, Dr. Arlyn P.
Hinolan.

to evil with goodness and mercy; seventh, to
reconcile people and build peace; eight, to
have a joyous humble heart and do not
judge; ninth, to pray without ceasing; and
lastly, to follow the path of the beatitudes.
Ten very difficult secrets to keep and
more than that, it is also very difficult to
practice.
Teachers need to learn and live a life of
holiness as they face students everyday.
More than the delivery of instruction,
teachers are expected to live a life of grace
love, authenticity as well as integrity for they
carry with them the responsibility of being
looked up to by the students.
As teachers, living a life of holiness is not
an easy task. To plant seeds of kindness in
the hearts of every student entrusted to his
care and to be sensitive to their concerns is
only the beginning of a deeper calling to
serve.
As classes begin on June 15, students in
Riverside College are assured of what to
expect from the new Academic Year.
New lessons and experiences, fun and
exciting activities, challenging opportunities
and most of all, teachers who are gifted with
GRACE to exude,
LOVE to share,
AUTHENTICITY to impart and INTEGRITY to
exemplify to their students.

Summer is fun when shared...
Finding meaning to one’s summer vacation has been realized among the
Varsity Players and Coaches of Riverside when they had a Sports Clinic with
GK Smile Village in Murcia last May 14 and 15.
Under the initiative and supervision of RC Sports Coordinator Ms.
Analou Claridad, the children and youth of the said village were privileged to
learn the basics in playing Badminton, Volleyball and Taekwondo.
The varsity players felt the joy of imparting their God-given talents to
their brothers and sisters who definitely deserve to know how such games
are to be played and how to build each other up in times of competitions and
how friendships could be built among team players.
The Sports Clinic was materialized in coordination with the Community
Extension Office .
LIBRARY UPDATES
Ms. Jiji Berina and Ms. Analiza Licayan of the Library attended the
ALBASA 42nd Annual and General Assembly last May 19-21 in Cebu City.
ALBASA (Academic Libraries Book Acquisition Systems Association,
Inc.) had for this year as its theme: Ässessment and Development of
Librarians’ Professional Competencies Towards ASEAN Integration.”

CE-LOGIC 7th National Electronic Conference last May 27-29 in Quezon City
with the theme: “Creating a Legacy Towards Nation Building: Library and

As a result of the library staff’s attendance to professional development
activities, innovations are made in response to the growing needs of the RC
clientele. For this opening, the Riverside College library has added to its
services another Discussion Room that can accommodate 20 persons at a
time, a Silent Study Room with 30 individual study carrels and 10 personal
