The graduates’ success was also made possible through the guidance of their faculty and mentors, the encouragement of their families and friends, and the support of the HCC community throughout their academic journey.
For Lorenzo, however, reaching the national ranks is not simply about personal achievement. It is also an opportunity to remember the people and community who helped shape her journey and to carry forward the values she learned along the way.
“Ang values na gusto kong dalhin na ininstil sa akin ni HCCI is yung payback to the community. Lagi’t lagi mong lilingunin kung saan ka nanggaling at kung sino yung mga taong nandiyan nung nagsisimula ka pa lang.”
— Angelica Dalton Lorenzo, RPm, 8th Placer, September 2026 PMLE
Her words reflect a perspective that places gratitude alongside achievement. For Lorenzo, success is not only about reaching a goal, but also about remembering where the journey began and recognizing those who were present along the way.
As she and her fellow HCC graduates begin the next chapter of their professional lives, they carry with them more than the designation of Registered Psychometrician (RPm). They also carry the knowledge, values, and experiences gained through their years at HCC—preparing them to contribute meaningfully to the field and to the communities they will serve.
This milestone is a celebration of both individual perseverance and shared support. It is a reminder that behind every successful professional is a journey shaped by determination, guidance, family, and community.
Congratulations to Angelica Dalton Lorenzo, RPm, our 8th placer nationwide, and to all 27 newly registered psychometricians of HCC!
May you continue to uphold the values you have learned, remain grounded in gratitude, and use your profession to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
