College life brings far more than new lessons and academic challenges. It opens doors to unforgettable experiences, lifelong friendships, and the first real steps toward the future. For the newest members of our Bravehearts community, this exciting new chapter officially began with the FAITH Colleges Freshmen Incorporation Rites held on 19 September 2026.
During the ceremony, FAITH Colleges School President Dr. Brian L. Belen welcomed the freshmen and their parents, expressing his gratitude for trusting the institution with their education. He encouraged the students to look beyond their first year and envision themselves as-the graduating class in 2030, ready to take on new opportunities in their chosen fields.
Dr. Belen also emphasized that reaching this milestone would require a shared commitment between the students and the institution. While the years ahead may bring challenges, he reminded all freshmen students that patience, dedication, and perseverance would help them navigate college life and prepare them for their future careers.
“It will not be easy, because things of value rarely come easy. But it will be worth it. The next four years will go by faster than you think, and for so long as we all do the work expected of us there is no doubt in my mind that your stay here will be successful.”

Following the President’s remarks, the ceremony continued with the recognition of freshmen scholars through the Ad Astra Scholarship programs. Students under the Jose Rizal, Apolinario Mabini, Emilio Aguinaldo, and Manuel L. Quezon scholarships were recognized for their academic achievements, marking the beginning of a new chapter at FAITH Colleges as they continue to pursue excellence and reach for greater opportunities.
Adding inspiration to the Incorporation Rites Class of 2030, Jayson C. Mojares, BS Electronics Engineering, Class of 2017, shared his experiences and reflections as a former FAITH Colleges student. Through his testimonial, Jayson gave words of wisdom, encouraged the Class of 2030 to welcome new experiences and face uncertainties with courage, offering valuable lessons along the way.

With each step forward, they move closer to their goals and toward a future shaped by the values they carry as Bravehearts.
