𝐁𝐔𝐀𝐒𝐀 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 | BUASnAck Pantry During the Freshies' First Day of Enrollment

On July 1, 2025, during BUIDeA’s first day of enrollment, the Bicol University Architecture Students' Association (BUASA) launched the BUASnAck Pantry—a warm, welcoming initiative for the incoming Arki Freshies. This thoughtful snack-sharing corner offered free snacks, refreshments, and even stickers with a goal to inspire kindness, connection, and community.

In addition to launching the pantry, BUASA also took the opportunity to introduce the organization and its mission to the incoming students. Enrollees were warmly welcomed with an overview of BUASA’s goals, initiatives, and the supportive role it plays within the BUIDeA community. A free pre-registration for membership was also offered, inviting Freshies to become part of a vibrant and inspiring Ohana.

This initiative wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our anonymous donors! 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮.

𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣, 𝙬𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡.

On this World Day of Music, we honor the soundtracks of our lives — the melodies that speak when words fall short, the rhythms that echo our emotions, and the harmonies that remind us we’re never alone.

Music is more than entertainment. It’s a refuge in chaos, a companion in solitude, a celebration in joy. It helps us study, reflect, express, and grow. Across languages and cultures, music connects hearts and minds in a way nothing else can.

So take a moment today. Listen, not just with your ears, but with your heart. Because in every note, there’s a story. And in every song, a reminder that we are all part of something greater. 🎵

𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘, the BUASA's Vision for A.Y. 2025-2026 ☀️

"The sun radiates warmth and light that sustains life across the world. In the same way, that is what I envision for the Ohana BUASA— a warmth that unites and empowers, and a light that guides, uplifts, and inspires."

For A.Y. 2025–2026, BUASA dares to shine brighter. This year, we choose not only to lead, but to uplift. To be present in both celebration and struggle. To empower students with opportunities, to guide with compassion, and to serve with unshakable commitment. Like the sun, our impact will be steady, far-reaching, and life-giving—touching lives, fueling dreams, and leaving no one in the shadows.

This is the essence of BUASA RADIANCE: 𝙍𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨, 𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨, 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙉𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨, and 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.

In the days to come, may BUASA be your constant— A sun that rises when you need hope. A flame that glows when you need strength. A beacon that guides us, together, to a future of purpose and possibility.

Together, we rise, we shine, and we radiate!
