Her message reminded the LCIC community that meaningful success is built not only on academic achievement but also on character, values, and purpose.
The celebration of excellence continued on January 17, 2026, at 1:00 PM, when the Physical Therapy board passers took their Oath of Adherence at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

The momentous occasion was witnessed by Dr. Grace Gorospe Jamon, LCIC President; Ms. Jennica Louise Salazar, Manila based Internship Coordinator; and Maam Odette Justo, PT Program Chairperson, who expressed pride and confidence in the graduates as they reached this important professional milestone.
As newly licensed healthcare professionals, the LCIC Physical Therapists are now well prepared to contribute meaningfully to the healthcare sector by applying their knowledge, clinical expertise, and compassion in service to their patients and the communities they will serve.

The success of the Physical Therapy graduates serves as an inspiration to the entire LCIC community to move forward with unity, dedication, and shared purpose.
