The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡TV Channel was the first to produce the virtual graduation ceremonies of the different colleges of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in whole Western Visayas. Parents and students were grateful for the live streaming which was seen all over the world during the commencement exercises. It has even garnered national news from ABS-CBN.
Tajanlangit particularly thanked ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Office of Communications led by its Director Rev. Francis Neil G. Jalando-on for consistently publishing the Weekly Centralian Link. The online publication reaches thousands of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ alumni readers, whose need for news and information from the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ campus is essential.
