Centiments

Diin makita ang LDT building? Ano itsura sang Engineering building? Hala kadako gale sang CPU....

These are just some of the words uttered by every Centralian who just entered the campus for the first time. After two years, Central has finally opened its doors to students—albeit only partially as face-to-face classes are only limited to specific courses.

For two whole years, students have been confined to the four corners of their rooms as they deal with online classes. Finally, students caught a glimpse of the Centralian experience during CPU's four-day face-toface midterm examinations. Midterm exams were hectic but there is also a sense of nostalgia and bittersweetness as the streets and hallways of CPU are filled with students armed with handouts and books striving to cram whatever knowledge they can before their exams start.

One can’t help but miss the old prepandemic days when the campus was alive with the chatter and laughter of their student. Other colleges in Iloilo City are having faceto-face classes at the start of the school year yet Central still hasn’t fully opened its doors to students. Hence, this begs the question, "When will it be CPU's turn to adapt a fully face-to-face set-up?" C
