 West Visayas College of Science & Tech Congratulations to Iloilo Betans for opening the West Visayas College of Science and Technology! After 30 long years of founding the University of San Agustin, Phi Beta Epsilon Fraternity had finally opened another chapter. This time it is the West Visayas College of Science and Technology Chapter. These new breed of Betans are product of initiation process after the Philippine government adopted the Anti-Hazing law. Below is the report from Brod Abay Homena who actively participated in the initiation:
We are pleased to inform you that we now have six ( 6 ) new brothers at the West Visayas College of Science and Technology. They will constitute the first batch of the forthcoming Phi Beta Epsilon Fraternity- WVCST Chapter - our newest chapter organized 30 long years after the founding of the USA chapter.
The project is a joint venture of the CPU and USA chapters with the active participation of some CPU alumni ( John Jamelo, Elan Villaluna and yours truly) who, almost daily, found time to supervise and resolve whatever problems were encountered along the way. The project was financed almost solely from the solicitations we generated. We subsidized almost all the expenses of the then noephytes.
WIT alumnus brother Juan Sargado provided the venue for the final rites at their place somewhere in Anilao, Iloilo . Brother Denmark Guillergan was the prime mover for the USA chapter. Notably active was CPU resident member bro Ernie de la Pena who worked in tandem with him. Special mention also goes to USA MEB Julius Cezar Salazar, CPU MEB Jozyril Jalique and USA VEB Jason Taho. And thanks also to USA bro. Joshua Navarro and CPU bros. Ben Baldivinos, Elmer Babalo, Jocip Sevilleno, Jay Prince Lumawag, Ronel Solinap, Dux Alvarez and others who have done their share in this noble project. And to bro. Panoy Penacerrada for his unsolicited donation which greatly eased our financial burden.
