The Level 4 students of the College of Nursing of Brent Hospital and Colleges Incorporated (BHCI) organized a two-day Business Expo on April 22 and 24 as part of their Nursing Entrepreneurship subject, anchored on the theme “From Care to Commerce: Empowering Nurses as Health Innovators and Entrepreneurs.” Presentations were conducted in two batches, with Sections A–D on the first day and Sections E–H on the second.

Guided by their Clinical Instructors, students presented business concepts, products, and services grounded in healthcare. These proposals ranged from wellness-focused initiatives to community-based services, illustrating how nursing practice can extend beyond bedside care into sustainable ventures.

The program also featured invited speakers, Ms. Jarah Romuar RN, and Helouise Vallecer-Liwasan, RN, who delivered inspirational messages and shared insights drawn from their professional experiences, providing context to the students’ work.

Evaluated by faculty members and a panel of judges, the presentations reflected effective communication, applied clinical knowledge, and practical problem-solving.

Taken together, the expo functioned not only as a course requirement but as a transition point for the graduating class, underscoring their readiness to assume expanded roles in healthcare as practitioners, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

This week, we walk the path that changed everything. It is a journey of sacrificial love, remembering, and grace that saves.

𝑴𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒚 𝑻𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚, we remember the New Commandment to love one another as He loved us. From the washing of feet to the last supper, we learn that true greatness is found in service.

𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒚, we pause at the foot of the cross. It is called "Good" not because of the suffering, but because of the agape love that paid a debt. It was finished, so that we could begin.

𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚, we sit in the silence of the tomb and the weight of the wait, we are reminded that even when God seems silent, "He is still at work" in the depths.

𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚, the stone is rolled away! Death couldn't hold Him, and the grave is empty. He is Risen, and because He lives, we can face tomorrow.

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." —Matthew 28:6

From the upper room to the empty tomb, may your heart find peace in the sacrifice and power of His victory. Have a reflective and blessed Holy Week!

Brent Hospital and Colleges Incorporated (BHCI) held a consultative meeting on February 27, 2026, to discuss a proposed 8% increase in tuition fees. The forum took place at the Audio-Visual Room from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
The meeting was led by School Director Analyn V. Suenan, MN., who opened the discussion by explaining how current tuition fees are allocated. She highlighted that a large portion supports employee salaries, campus renovations, school organizations, and scholarship programs for BHCI students. She also noted that past tuition collections funded the renovation of the school’s skills laboratory and emphasized that part of the proposed increase would go toward salary adjustments for employees.

The consultative forum was attended by department heads, faculty members, and selected student representatives. Attendance from parents was minimal due to short notice, and broader student participation was limited because only representatives were invited.

Following the presentation, a question-and-answer session allowed attendees to raise their concerns. Students asked about the allocation of tuition and miscellaneous fees, specifically pointing to underutilized facilities such as the computer laboratory. One of the most frequently raised questions was why the proposed increase is set at 8%, rather than a lower rate such as 5%.
In response, the Director clarified that the proposed increase has not yet been finalized and still requires approval from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The Accounting Office also shared projected tuition changes if the 8% increase is approved and implemented.

The meeting concluded after the Q&A session. As BHCI faces rising operational demands, the proposed tuition increase has sparked discussion on whether it is justified to support future institutional developments and improvements.
