Mindanao State University (MSU) System President Atty. Paisalin P.D. Tago, CPA, continued his institutional tour today, October 2, 2025 with a visit to MSU-University Training Center (UTC). He was accompanied by First Lady Sittie Norhaya Ambor-Tago, CPA, along with some key System and Campus Officials, including various unit heads. The delegation was received by MSU UTC faculty, staff, and students led by Director Edenairah Panbangan-Esmail, Ph.D. This stop follows his engagement yesterday at MSU-Lanao National College of Arts and Trades (LNCAT), highlighting his dedication to direct engagement across every MSU unit.

The MSU-UTC community greeted the President with a warm reception, featuring all the campus bands whose energetic performances set a celebratory tone. President Tago articulated his vision for a unified and thriving MSU System, emphasizing the crucial importance of maintaining quality education across all campuses. He also extended his profound gratitude for the ceremonial welcome prepared by the MSU-UTC community.

Highlights of the program included a vibrant cultural presentation by the UTC Lawanen Dance Troupe. The event ultimately culminated in the performance of the MSU UTC campus song, “Home of Champions.” This powerful and memorable segment deeply resonated with attendees, capturing the tenacity and success that define the MSU-UTC community.

President Tago’s ongoing campus visits strategically underscore the administration’s commitment to grassroots engagement and development, reinforcing existing relationships and strengthening the System’s support infrastructure, particularly across its external community high school campuses. By solidifying a shared institutional purpose, the tours reaffirm the MSU System’s dedication to coordinated educational outreach.
