Last September 10, 2026, the UNO-R community gathered at the L'Fisher Hotel for a memorable evening dedicated to honoring the dedication, passion, and lifelong commitment of our exceptional faculty and staff.

Facilitated by the Human Resource Management and Development Office (HRMDO), the formal program ran seamlessly, expertly guided by our dynamic emcees, Ms. Ma. Judy Legaspi and Mr. Carlos Eduardo Legaspi Jr.

The night was filled with milestone recognitions, and for the very first time, included and recognized the 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒂𝒘 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒔 𝒅𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒅 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 Awardees for their continuous dedication to the university.

More than the accolades, it was a night of pure joy and memorable engagement as the entire UNO-R community reconnected across all departments.

Congratulations to all our awardees! The UNO-R family is incredibly proud of all of you.

𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒖𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌! | 𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2026

In celebration of the 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑨𝒖𝒈𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆 last August 28, the Human Resource Management and Development Office (HRMDO) facilitated the 𝓤𝓝𝓞-𝓡 𝓕𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵𝔂 𝓓𝓪𝔂—a full day of activities aimed at strengthening bonds as one university family.

The day began with a meaningful Holy Mass at the Oratory of St. Nicholas of Tolentino, followed by a high-energy Zumba session at the gymnasium that got everyone moving, and intense group games that truly tested the employee’s teamwork. This was also a special time to officially introduce and welcome the newly-hired employees to the whole UNO-R community.

The excitement continued into the afternoon as the event shifted to competitive bowling, billiards, and board games at the Lopue’s East Bowling Centre. More than the games, the true highlight was the opportunity to bond, laugh, and spend quality time with colleagues across all the different departments.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this feast day and family day celebration so memorable. Until the next Family Day!

Department lines disappeared last Saturday, June 27, 2026, as faculty from all colleges of the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos mixed, mingled, and collaborated at Kampo Hiyang-Hiyang. The college faculty started the program with creativity during their hilarious, on-the-spot cheers and yells.

Instead of staying in their usual circles, faculty members were grouped together to enjoy the pool games, share challenges, stories, and build new friendships. It was a masterclass in fun collaboration. It was a day of laughter and learning from colleagues across different disciplines. They arrived as separate colleges but left Kampo Hiyang-Hiyang as one tightly knit university family.
