Nursing Students' Absence Notification
Nursing Students' Absence Notification
We were deployed for clinical duties during the Medical Mision. Students from the College of Health have
actively participated in this program, offering their assistance as an opportunity to be exposed to various medical
procedures. Participation in the mission has provided us with hands-on experience and allowed us to acquire the
knowledge, skills, and attitude essential for our future roles in the healthcare profession.
Unfortunately, this deployment made it impossible for us to participate in the Eucharistic Celebration and
event as scheduled. Despite our absence, we want to assure you that our commitment to our faith and devotion to the
Holy Spirit remains true. Throughout the day, we kept the spirit of devotion alive in our hearts through continuous
prayers and reflection.
In addition, may we also like to inform you that one of our classmates, Mr. Joshua Cabebe, was one of the
institution’s representatives to the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) Meet 2024. His
involvement also made it impossible for him to attend the events that occurred that day.
Therefore, we kindly request your thoughtful consideration regarding this matter! May God bless the
Christian Formation office and the whole institution!
Sincerely yours,

The students sought consideration from Rev. Fr.

They wanted to assure their commitment to their faith and requested understanding, given that their absence was involuntary and aligned with their educational and professional objectives .
