The CEFI community wishes you the best of 2025! Here's a few of our humble achievements these past 365 days. We've seen some highs and lows, but the only way is forward, coz that's the CEFI way. Happy New Year everyone!
The CEFI community sends to everyone its warmest Yuletide greetings, and all the best of 2025!
We do it with this humble and solemn piece composed and performed by Jean Ysabelle Delmundo (BS Psychology), who won the Christmas Songwriting Competition organized by the Office for Student Affairs.

The inauguration of the Ronaldo Antonio V. Calayan Hall on Nov. 27, 2024 proved to be an emotional tribute to the man who dedicated the last 38 years of his life molding CEFI into the proud institution it is today. The man has become inseparable from the legacy he inherited from our founders, the legacy that is by now good as his own, and the legacy that he will share with Cefizens for generations to come.
Bring out the big-cat vibe, Cefizens! Let’s give one resounding hurrah and welcome to the CEFI community our official mascot, Chase the Cougar!
The name Chase could not have been more proper, as it is a nod to CEFI’s endless pursuit of greatness and innovation. This unending quest has been – and always shall be – done with the same aggressiveness, tenacity, and power that embody our spirit animal: the cougar.
Moreover, in this relentless pursuit of excellence in all disciplines, be it in academics, sports, culture and arts, we manifest every intention to be at the forefront of all these. In doing so, just as one would "chase the cougar," we shall become the leader and trendsetter to be followed and chased by the rest.
Roar loud and proud, Cefizens!
The call to Germany and the rest of Europe is now even louder for CEFI’s interns under the Nursing and other allied health programs, thanks to our recent partnership with Care Beyond Borders (CBB) Global Recruitment GmbH, and Pro Civitate. Both organizations promise no less than international-caliber training and employment opportunities for our trainees and graduates. In this interview, CBB Managing Director Mylene Vollboldt and Pro Civitate CEO Christian Hallerbach unravel the exciting details of what we can expect out of our partnership with them, and also provide a glimpse of what life can be like for CEFI interns and graduates in Germany.
The visit of representatives from our international partner from Indonesia, Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa (UST) last May 23 was a resounding success! The UST delegation witnessed CEFI's prowess in community service projects, particularly those involving health and wellness. They saw firsthand the quality of our instruction, as well as our practices in the field of research. Last but not least, they got a dose of our hospitality highlighted by the masterful rendition of an Indonesian classic by The Calayan Minstrels. UST expressed great optimism in its partnership with CEFI following the visit.

Yet another groundbreaking development as CEFI inked a Memorandum of Understanding with German organization Pro Civitate yesterday, March 19. This partnership intends to provide training and employment opportunities for our students in Allied Health programs such as Nursing, Physical Therapy, etc. Represented by Christian Hallerbach, this organization currently operates around 25 elderly care facilities with 1,500 employees. Mr. Hallerbach emphasized CEFI’s potential to answer growing manpower needs as Germany’s elderly population is projected to swell in the near future.
Hats off to Mr. Chinkee Tan who really showed his caliber as life and wealth coach before the jam-packed audience of the 3rd floor of KRU Bldg. during the 2024 Employees Congress held today. The seminar is part of CEFI’s 51st Foundation Anniversary activities.
CEFI inked a Cooperation Agreement with the Germany-based Care Beyond Borders (CBB) Global Recruitment GmbH last Jan. 22. The agreement will allow internship opportunities for our Nursing students, as well as job placement for graduates of the said program. CBB Managing Director Ms. Mylene Wollboldt remarked that CEFI’s reputation in health science education preceded her generation, and that this agreement “goes beyond business.”
