Centralians around the globe gather together to celebrate the yuletide seasons and rekindle their Centralian Spirit.
Central Philippine University Alumni Association of Northeastern USA held their Christmas Party on December 9, 2017 in Clifton, New Jersey.
Their guest speaker, Ms. Margaret “Pitsik” Dominado, an active CPU Alumni and Centralian beauty queen and one of the founders of Positively Centralian Facebook Group, delivered a Christian message that was full of hope, “Even when there is snow, the fire of our Central Spirit blazes.” Ms Dominado encouraged everyone to realize that hunger and homelessness pervades where they are working as OFWs. She presented to the audience facts and figures of struggle, senseless violence, and lawlessness in their home fronts, and challenged Centralians to do their part in the spirit of Christmas. She emphasized the advent message of “Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men.”
The CPU Alumni Association of Northeastern USA’s current President is Rev. Felix B. Colinco. Rev. Manuel ‘Mawe’ De la Fuente is the association’s chaplain. The alumni chapter has been helping the CPU Table Tennis Group of CPU which is managed by Rev. Francis Neil G. Jalando-on, current Director of the CPU Office of Communications. It can also be recalled that CPUAAN USA was the mover behind the realization of the CPU Tennis Court.
