With the theme, “Gurong Pilipino: Handa sa Makabagong Pagbabago”, Teacherrific 4.0 was held at the University Gymnasium last October 4, 2019.

Teacherrific is an annual university tradition where the teachers celebrate their special day by having a concert for students. Mr. Terry Gil Gomez, the College of Arts Sciences and Education (CASED) Council Adviser, with the help of some of the students, organized this year’s said event which aims to show appreciation to the professors and teachers of the University.

Ma’am Elauria Professor, from the College of Nursing, started the concert with a high-level dance performance together with her students accompanied by modern songs. Their performance was then followed by a serenade from Mr. Wally Micosa and Mr. Rey, Senior High School professors. Dean Lambert from the College of Accountancy and Business Administration (CBAA) together with Mr. Vener Rodriguez of CASED performed a song and a dance number.

Students from the University’s Performance Arts Group, particularly the Atlas Fusion Krew and Altitude Glee Club, also rendered special performances during the event. 

The second part of the concert was the most-awaited performances from Mr. Terry Gil Gomez and Mr. Alvin Miranda,who are both professors from CASED. This year, Mr Gomez’s performance was a strong theatrical one as he performed a sing-dance-and-act number along with some of his students from the College of Engineering, CBAA and CASED. On the other hand, Mr. Alvin Miranda’s performance was a simple yet meaningful piece; he shared his life by playing a video presentation while singing a song of “This Is Me” by Keala Settle and The Greatest Showman Ensemble. The concert concluded with a Zumba dance number rendered by all the professors who were at the Teacherrific 4.0.
