On December 27, 2025, the KAPILAS-Bayan under the Departamento ng Filipino at Panitikan, celebrated its 35th Anniversary with their faculty, staff,
retirees, and alumni guests.

Dr. Juvanni A. Caballero, AEFC Director, was invited to deliver an Endowment Pitch as part of its program. This resulted to a donation from Ms. Crisalyn Gen Echavez, an alumna of the said department, who expressed her desire to give back to ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø-IIT.

Ms. Echavez emphasized that she was not aware that the Institute has an Endowment Fund. However, she intends to continue paying it forward especially now that she has been apprised of how the donation works.

The donation will help aid the Institute’s programs, such as scholarships, personnel support, faculty, research and extension, infrastructure, and other activities. Further, the principal amount of the donations will not be used to fund the programs directly, only the profit it generates. This will be invested by the Institute in long-term, low-risk, diverse investments to build a consistent stream of income.

As the Endowment Fund continues to gain traction from the alumni community, AEFC is now gradually transitioning to the investment phase. The first pitch is expected to occur next month to explore potential investment opportunities in order to make sure that the garnered fund will not remain stagnant.
