THE EASTER VIGIL CELEBRATION IN THE PCG Academy

The Easter Vigil, held after sunset on Holy Saturday, is the most solemn and significant liturgy of the Catholic Church, celebrating the resurrection of Christ. Known as the "mother of all vigils," this "Easter Vigil in the Holy Night" begins with a service of light, moves through salvation history with extensive readings, and culminates in the sacraments of initiation, frequently featuring baptisms.
Key Parts of the Easter Vigil Celebration:
* Service of Light (Lucernarium): Occurring outside the church, a fire is blessed and the Paschal Candle—representing Christ as the "Light of the World"—is lit and processed into the darkened church.
* Easter Proclamation (Exsultet): A solemn song sung by a Deacon or priest, welcoming the resurrection of Jesus.
* Liturgy of the Word: A long sequence of scripture readings (seven Old Testament and two New Testament, including Epistle and Gospel) recounting salvation history.
* Liturgy of Baptism: The blessing of water, baptism of new members, and renewal of baptismal promises by the faithful.
* Liturgy of the Eucharist: The climax of the celebration, where the Church gathers at the altar for the first time during the Easter season.
The liturgy is characterized by a transition from darkness to light, symbolizing the passage from death to new life in Christ.

EASTER SUNDAY MASS HELD AT THE PSALM CHAPEL with Easter Egg Hunt for kids…

Easter Sunday is the pinnacle of the Catholic liturgical year, celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the celebratory atmosphere from the Easter Vigil continues, the daytime Mass on Easter Sunday is more similar in structure to a typical Sunday liturgy, though often with higher attendance and more festive decorations, such as white lilies.
Liturgy Highlights
* Renewal of Baptismal Promises: Instead of the usual Creed, the congregation may renew their baptismal vows and be sprinkled with holy water.
* Easter Sequence: The ancient hymn Victimae paschali laudes ("Christians, to the Paschal Victim") is typically sung or recited before the Gospel.
* Liturgical Colors: Priests wear White or Gold vestments to symbolize joy, purity, and the glory of the Resurrection.
* The "Alleluia": After being absent throughout the 40 days of Lent, the "Alleluia" returns prominently in the songs and acclamations.
Attendance & Obligation
* Holy Day of Obligation: Because it falls on a Sunday, attending Mass is a requirement for Catholics.
* Vigil vs. Sunday: Attending the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening fulfills the Sunday obligation. You are not required to attend again on Sunday morning if you went to the Vigil.

Do not become complacent. Let this achievement fuel your drive to improve, to strengthen your character, and to pursue excellence in everything you do,” Attorney Plan added.

The recognition rites hold the essence of a Candidate Coast Guard Officers’ victory in overcoming the challenges of the bootcamp stage, which is considered the hardest phase of the training, preparing them to be physically fit, emotionally stable, and decisive decision makers amidst work pressure as they become full-pledge officers of the Philippine Coast Guard.

A significant step toward infrastructure revitalization and long-term institutional growth was achieved on February 4, 2026, as BPSU and the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management (PSALM) Corporation convened for the formalization of a usufruct agreement concerning the BPSU–Bagac Campus. The coordination meeting was held at the PSALM Hotel, Conference and Training Center, building upon the initial strategic discussions conducted on October 8, 2025.

The engagement culminated in a mutual approval between both institutions, with PSALM Corporation, represented by Division Manager Mrs. Marelyn A. Aquino, granting BPSU the right to utilize the property through a 25-year lease arrangement under a usufruct framework.

Most notably, the agreement opens the pathway for national government funding to be directed toward the rehabilitation of the BPSU-Bagac Campus main building and its surrounding facilities. This development positions the campus for structural improvement, enhanced learning environments, and broader service to its stakeholders in the years ahead.

Leading the University delegation was University President Dr. Ruby B. Santos-Matibag, joined by key members of the Executive Council: Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jaime M. Forbes, Vice President for Finance Dr. Neil D. David, Vice President for Administration Prof. Cristina G. Rivera, and OIC-Director for Legal Affairs Office Atty. Joannalyn M. Libo-on. Furthermore, the successful coordination was made possible with the valuable assistance of the Bagac Local Government Unit, led by Municipal Mayor Hon. Ron Michael Alexis R. Del Rosario, alongside the Provincial Engineer’s Office (PEO) of Bataan.

PSALM Corporation, the Philippine government’s privatization arm, carries the twin mandates of privatizing power assets and liquidating financial obligations of the National Power Corporation, as provided under the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) or Republic Act No. 9136. Through this partnership, PSALM plays a vital role not only in national fiscal management but also in enabling public institutions such as BPSU to maximize government resources for educational advancement.

Under Philippine law, a usufruct agreement—governed by Articles 562–602 of the Civil Code—grants a party the right to use and enjoy another’s property for a defined period without transferring ownership or altering the property’s substance. This legal framework ensures that BPSU may fully utilize the land while maintaining its integrity, a balance that supports both stewardship and progress.

This milestone agreement stands as a monument to strategic governance, inter-agency cooperation, and BPSU’s steadfast pursuit of sustainable campus development, ensuring that the Bagac Campus continues to grow as a pillar of opportunity and public service in the province of Bataan.
