The event was graced by Dr. Janet A. Mananay, former Vice President for Internationalization and founding figure of the organization, who delivered an inspiring message. She reflected on the beginnings of CNU-IAO and its continued contribution to advancing internationalization, encouraging junior ambassadors to grow within the organization that has shaped their seniors.

In a heartfelt walk down memory lane, Ambassadors Velos, Ortega, Desamparado, and Eguinto shared their testimonials.
