V. CAPPING, PINNING AND CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY –


At this point, we will be witnessing the highlight of today’s event: the
capping, pinning and candle lighting ceremony.
The light, cap and pin are all symbolical figures that carry deeper and more
profound meaning.

The nurse’s cap is a symbol of knowledge, wisdom and skills, marked by


professionalism, discipline and strength of mind and character. It carries with it
personal commitment to the nursing profession.

The pin is a sign of reverence and responsibility accounted to those granted


membership to one of the noblest professions & have subscribed to its ideals of
service.

The candle lighting represents the student’s acceptance of the essence of the
profession by giving light amidst the darkness of human suffering and pain. The
symbol of light from a lamp signifies what a nurse’s caring heart and hands could
do. It is a symbol of hope for love, understanding, health and life.

May we now call on Mr. Roy Quito, Ms.Anne Yagaya-Chan and Ms. Sharon
Dimatulac to bestow the symbolic representations on our candidates:
>>> cue “One Little Candle”
To receive their caps, pins and lamps, it is with utmost pride that we present to
