Five outstanding alumni – two bishops, one environment undersecretary, an international lawyer and a book author – of the Mary Help of Christians Seminary (MHCS) in Binmaley were formally honored on December 30 during the MHCS Kabalens Annual Homecoming.

This was announced by Fr. Allan Morris Abuan, MHCS rector, who said the individual awards were duly signed by himself and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz. The awarding was held at the newly-refurbished MHCS chapel following a concelebrated mass for Batch ’81 (silver) and ’86 (porcelain) jubilarians with former Pangasinan Vice Gov. and now Lyceum Northwestern University President Gonzalo Duque (also a columnist of The PUNCH), already an MHCS Fr. John Healy awardee, in attendance.

Among the five honorees are Bishop Renato Mayugba who now serves as auxiliary bishop of the Lingayen-Dagupan Archdiocese, Bishop Marlo Peralta now serving as co-adjutor bishop in the Diocese of Alaminos, Environment Senior Under-secretary Francisco S. Bravo, New York-based lawyer Felix Vinluan and book author and media executive Melandrew Velasco.

Both Bravo and Velasco are key officers of the newly-revived Kaluyagan Nen Palaris, a confederation of civic organizations in Pangasinan, Manila and overseas where they both serve as KNP president and secretary-general respectively.
