Alumni Batch Bluechips ’97 Reunite after 20 years







UP Visayas College of Management (UPV CM) Batch ’97 held their first grand reunion last December 29, 2023 at the UPV CM Lobby.

Almost a hundred of UPV CM Batch ’97 alumni from BS Accountancy, BS Management, and BS Business Administration (Marketing) went back to the CM grounds to reunite with classmates, friends, and former professors. This includes former CM Dean and former UPV Vice Chancellor for Administration, retired professor Mary Ann T. Gumban, retired Judge Daniel Amular, Prof. Mariel Elizaga, former UPV Office of Alumni Relations Director Prof. Benmar P. Panaguiton, and current CM Dean Prof. Christopher B. Honorario.

The batch enjoyed a full day with a “fun walk” to the Iloilo Esplanade, a thanksgiving mass, and an array of local food kiosks which included one for Alimodian delicacies. There was also a grill fest, a lunch, and a dinner buffet that everyone enjoyed. The day was capped with a 90s & 2000s jam session.
