The City College of Cagayan de Oro proudly hosted the official launching of the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT) Reviewer for Bachelor of Special Needs Education (BSNEd) published by Lorimar Publishing, Inc. The event, held at the CCCDO Library last October 27, 2025, gathered key institutional leaders, faculty members, and staff in celebration of this academic milestone.
Authored by Dr. Helen Boholano, Dr. Bernard Evangelicom Jamon, Dr. Jestoni P. Babia, Dr. Genelen Pepito, and Dr. Liza L. Chua, the reviewer book serves as a comprehensive guide for future special education teachers preparing for the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT). The material aligns with the CHED Memorandum Order No. 77, s. 2017 and the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), integrating theoretical foundations, practical applications, and classroom-based competencies essential in Special Needs Education.
This milestone highlights the collaborative spirit behind the publication, with two of its authors— Dr. Jestoni P. Babia, College President, and Dr. Liza L. Chua, Dean of the College of Education, representing CCCDO. Their leadership and expertise reflect the institution’s strong commitment to empowering future educators and promoting inclusive, transformative learning.
Attendees lauded the reviewer’s timeliness and substance, recognizing its value not only as a preparation tool for the LEPT but also as a resource that deepens understanding of the vocation of teaching learners with diverse abilities.
The City College of Cagayan de Oro extends its warmest congratulations to the authors for this achievement, which stands as a testament to excellence, collaboration, and shared vision in advancing quality education—an effort aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).
