“Graduates, as you embark on this new journey, carry with you the lessons you have learned, the friendships you have built, and the dreams that brought you here.”

The event was also graced by Ms. Maria Celene Hizon, a former cabin crew and guest speaker of the graduation ceremony, who inspired the graduates, saying:

“Each setback is a test of resilience, and I’ll be honest there are moments when I wanted to give up. But looking back, I realized that every delay, every rejection, and every challenge had a purpose. God was paving my way to where I was meant to be.”

The graduates were awarded their completion certificates and pins, along with several special honors, including Best in Safety Demonstration, Best in Theoretical Knowledge, Best in Evacuation Drills, Best in Survival Swimming, Best in Grooming, Best in Service, and Best in Panel Interview.

Speechless in her turn, Franchesca, Batch 2505 Valedictorian, was only able to thank OMNI Aviation and her classmates.
