A Showcase of Skills
As part of the event, students from the different colleges displayed their academic and performing prowess through the Quiz Bee, Street Dance Competition, and Pasiklaban.

Warriors Edd Jonh Miranda, Ceddie Ariquez, and George Pepito Ariquez III towed College of Criminology (COC) to the Quiz Bee championship. Chieftains Dan Kevin Roque, Bryan Joseph Peralta, and Jan Jefferson Cristobal clinched the second place for College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), while the trio of Jonah Reyes, Jaycris Agnes, and Luijim Jose of the College of Education (COE) placed third in the said competition held on the first day.

In the Street Dance competition, the College of Education (COE) wowed the crowd with their performance and emerged as champions. Basic Education (BEd) students did not let up though, as they took the 1st Runner-Up plum; 2nd Runner-Up College of Nursing (CON) completed the cast of winners.

Mentors consolidated their earlier victory by also taking the crown for Pasiklaban, while College of Management and Accountancy (CMA) and College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) were hailed 1st and 2nd runners-up respectively.

Beating the Summer Heat
On the second-day, February 22, the colleges brought summer’s fun spirit into the campus grounds by putting up their respective booths, each themed with a popular summer destination showcasing the beauty of the Philippines.

CON’s creative portrayal of the Cebu scenery clinched the championship; while College of Information Technology and Engineering (CITE) snagged the 1st Runner-up with their realistic and faithful reproduction of the wind turbines of Bangui, Ilocos Norte; and COC’s convincing replica of Puerto Princesa Underground River landed 2nd Runner-up.

Rewarding Excellent Service
Last February 6, students once again voted for their favorite teachers and non-teaching staff for the Hawak Kamay Students Choice Awards.

In between Pasiklaban performances, the Marketing Department, together with the AUSSG, awarded Anna Kristel Cuevas (COE), Ronald Leabres (CMA), Mercedes Batalla (CAS), May Miguel (COC), Eldon Lim (CITE), Toni Marie Buenconsejo - Punzalan  (CON), Mylene Bandril (BEd), Roxanne Eduardo (CMA), Frankie Sembrano (Guidance and Counseling Office), and Mary Grace Ricio (CSDL) as the most exemplary employees of the University.
