AU-PHINMA enjoys week-long Christmas fair

Christmas started early for Araullians as the University conducted the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 4, 2012 and Christmas Bazaar from December 3 to 7.

The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, which includes the Lantern Making Contest and the Chorale Competition, served as the highlight of the affair. For the Lantern Making Contest, the College of Management and Accountancy (CMA) was declared champion while the College of Education (COE) and College of Criminology (COC) placed 1^st and 2^nd runners-up. COE came on top for the Chorale Competition, followed by CMA and the College of Arts and Sciences.

The bazaar comprised of stalls selling food, clothing, and other merchandise. Staying true to the season’s spirit of giving, the University did not charge fees for the stall owners’ use of Admin Lobby and other amenities.

In behalf of CSDL, Directress Junely Moises expressed their happiness with the affair’s outcome. Moises said that AU-PHINMA was able to spread the holiday cheer even outside the campus through the spectacle provided by the lighting of sky lanterns during the ceremony. Barry Sim
