The Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology (ASIST) has officially transitioned into the University of Abra (UA). University officials, faculty, students, and community leaders gathered at the Gov. Andres B. Bernos Memorial Gymnasium in Bangued to mark this landmark achievement during the ceremonial launching and University Founder’s Day.

The conversion was established through Republic Act No. 11574, initiated by House Bill sponsor Congressman Joseph Sto. Niño "JB" Bernos alongside Senator Imee Marcos and officially declared by Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairperson Hon. Shirley C. Agrupis. The occasion brought together key stakeholders, including Congresswoman Ching Bernos, Governor Eustaquio Bersamin, Vice Governor Anne Bersamin, CHED Commissioner Dr. Myrna Q. Mallari, UA OIC-President Dr. Serafin L. Ngohayon, local mayors, and academic heads across Northern Luzon.

Adding to the milestone, the Civil Service Commission presented the institution with the PRIME-HRM Maturity Level II Bronze Award for excellence in human resource management. Looking toward the future, Rep. JB Bernos requested assistance from CHED to establish new degree programs in Nursing and Veterinary Medicine to address healthcare and agricultural needs across the province.

From ASIST to the University of Abra, this transformation marks a renewed commitment to excellence, innovation, and service. A new name, a renewed vision, and a brighter future for higher education in Abra!

A tribute to our Teaching heroes with the theme “𝐆𝐮𝐫𝐨, 𝐈𝐤𝐚𝐰 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧”

The University of Abra College of Teacher Education Laboratory High School (UA-CTE LHS), through the help of Student Body Organization (SBO), we celebrated Teachers’ Day entitled with the theme “Guro, Ikaw Naman,” a celebration recognizing the dedication and service of our dearest teachers and faculty members.

The program featured student performances, video tributes, and messages highlighting the teachers’ role as educators, mentors, rule model , and second parents. The “Guess Who” impersonation activity added a lighthearted touch, while certificates and tokens of appreciation were presented to the faculty. A very special day honoring the people behind of our success and the creators of our dreams.

The celebration continued with classroom based activities ,where in classroom officers plan a small celebration for their advisers to take the opportunity to surprise and make their teachers appreciated and honorable. It was a time offering an opportunity for students and teachers to build meaningful relationships and a stronger community.

Through the celebration, the UA-CTE LHS community paid tribute to the educators, teachers, rule model, second parents who continue to guide, inspire, and shape the students under their guidance and care. The heroes that shape our lives and the person behind every successful person in the world.
