Pawid Jr. highlighted Angiwan’s career progression at BSU, tracing his journey from a part-time legal officer to his distinguished position as Chief Administrative Officer. Adding to the tributes, former President Felipe Salaing Comila also shared a message reflecting on the significance of retirement. Various BSU offices then presented their gifts, expressing their appreciation for Angiwan’s leadership and dedication.
