When the nationwide lock down effective last March 16, 2020 was announced due to a national health emergency brought by COVID19, the BSM Batch 28  students had to pack their bags to catch up with the last ride back to their home places.   There were a block of courses left to be covered which they were able to complete online. All other requirements for graduation were accomplished online as well. However, they missed the experience of a proper graduation ceremony.   

Remarkably however, this batch pursued with their church planting assignments. A year after the pandemic started, with the travel restrictions and required safety protocols, many managed to travel to Mindanao and have started a successful ministry among the Moslems in Mindanao.   As we prepare for the graduation of the BSM Online Batch, we decided to recall them for a joint graduation ceremony.   Nine out of nineteen of them made it to be in the joint graduation ceremony of BSM Batch 28 and BSM Online Batch 1.
