Reflection on COC-PHINMA's Mission and Vision Statement

“To be globally competent is what it takes to recognize a real professional! “

By the time I learned the mission and Vision of Cagayan de Oro College-PHINMA, I happened to realize how important it is for me to develop myself; physically, spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. In this competitive world that we are living in, becoming a “total person” is an edge for us to excel. The government and other industries do not need a boastful wise man, corrupt intelligent and unprofessional professionals because as we could see in our generation right now “intelligent persons” are very rampant and therefore, companies have a lot of choices. In our society right now, 1 position: 100 applicants is an observable ratio situation.

            Let us take my field of specialization as an example. Every year, there are so many Education students who receive their diplomas from different colleges and universities. As a result, there are so many applicants waiting for a job vacancy in either public or private schools. Due to this great number of applicants, the Department of Education and the Commission on Higher Education are conducting exams and interviews in order to choose the most competent applicant to be hired. I believe that, in the near future I would be one of those future educators who will grab a slot from those job vacancies because I am competent enough that with the advance and holistic training that my beloved Alma Mater is extending to me; with the passionate effort of my instructors and the entire administration of COC-PHINMA in developing and shaping my personality to be globally competitive, I am totally ahead of those other Education graduates from big universities in the city. When I say globally competitive, I am referring to a person who has proficient knowledge and skills, good character and spirit and most likely possesses a pleasing personality. COC-PHINMA’s Mission and Vision is definitely a great guide for instructors ant the entire COC community to develop us, students, in order for us to excel in any field, be the best among the rest and prove to the world that everything is not just a Mission-Vision stated and posted inside our campus but a goal to be realize and to be prove in the very near future.
