“Women are proving every day that leadership is about vision, about courage, and about the ability to bring people together to create lasting change.”

NEUST President Dr. Rhodora Jugo delivered this message after the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office III (CHEDRO3) recognized her leadership as a woman president during SHE LEADs event held today, March 28, 2025, at Best Western Plus Metro Clark in Angeles City, Pampanga.

“Ang kakayahan ng babaeng lider ay masusukat hindi lamang sa dami ng kanyang parangal, tagumpay, o mga kursong tinapos—ang lahat ng ito ay dagdag palamuti lamang. Ngunit ang pinakamahalaga ay ang lawig ng kanyang naging bahagi sa buhay ng kanyang pinaglilingkuran,” the President said.

“Ang modelong lider ay may mataas na pagpapahalaga sa kanyang pinaglilingkuran, ehemplo ng magandang pag-uugali sa komunidad, at nagsisilbing pag-asa sa mga mahihina at may pangangailangan,” said Dr. Jugo.

SHE LEADs is a special gathering organized by CHEDRO3 in recognition of the women presidents of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Central Luzon.

Dr. Lora Yusi, CHEDRO3 Director IV, led the program that recognized the “phenomenal women of Region III” and the significant role of women’s leadership in the region.

“We are women of substance, we are women of value. That’s why up to this point in time, we are here. We are not just surviving—we are thriving. This is a celebration of sisterhood and the beauty in all of us,” said Dr. Yusi.
