The booths for the VSU 102nd Anniversary are finally open, and behind every color, detail, and structure is a story of unity and shared purpose.

This year’s showcase came to life through the collective effort of the FSS Organization, AVESS Organization, FFES SSC, together with the faculty and staff, and FFES student volunteers. Side by side, they planned, built, and designed each booth not as separate groups, but as one community moving with a common heart.

More than visual presentations, the booths stand as reflections of teamwork and dedication. Every structure and detail carries the spirit of cooperation, showing how different groups can come together to build something meaningful and memorable for the VSU community.

As visitors walk through the booths, they are not just seeing exhibits but experiencing the spirit of unity that defines VSU at 102 years. A celebration of culture, innovation, and bayanihan in its most genuine form, where students, organizations, faculty, and staff come together to create something greater than themselves.

In the true spirit of dagyaw, where intellect met passion, voices rose in chorus, and hearts beat as one, Visayas State University–Alangalang came alive on April 16, 2026, for Pasundayag sa FFES.

What unfolded was not just a gathering, but a festival of unity, where FFES-SSC Alangalang and FFES-SSC Baybay moved in sync, blending ideas, energy, and advocacy into one shared experience. Anchored on the spirit of pangkalikasan, the theme “Dagyaw” came alive as a symbol of collective strength, proving that when people come together, even the toughest environmental challenges can be faced head-on.

The atmosphere pulsed with excitement as students clashed wits in the Environment4lino Quiz Show and poured their visions onto paper in the Poster Making Contest, each answer and every stroke echoing a deeper commitment to protect and preserve.

Behind the scenes, the success of Pasundayag was powered by all working committees, whose dedication and teamwork reflected the very heart of dagyaw, where people come together with shared effort and make something meaningful, highlighting how the event is a symbol of two campuses moving in rhythm, one community, one call, one future.

Pasundayag sa FFES became a symbol of harmony between two campuses moving with one intention, one voice, and one shared responsibility. It showed that when people come together with purpose, change is not distant. It is something that grows, spreads, and takes root in every action made together.

Held as part of the FFES Month Celebration, Environmentalino 4.0 took place at VSU Alangalang on April 16, 2026, carrying the theme “DAGYAW,” which highlighted unity and collective action for environmental sustainability. The event served as a platform for students to deepen their environmental awareness while promoting teamwork, critical thinking, and shared responsibility.

The competition featured 3 teams from the main campus, namely: Banay Sidlak Kalikupan, Banay Bahandi Kalasangan, and Banay Lunhaw, Banay Tinubdan, then 2B Sustainable, Team Powerpuff Girls, and Pyroclastic are from VSU Alangalang, each bringing energy and determination throughout the series of challenging and knowledge-based rounds focused on environmental issues and sustainability concepts.

After an intense and engaging battle of wits, 2B Sustainable, represented by Reyna, Areglo, and Tuazon, emerged as the champion. Banay Tinubdan secured second place, followed by Team Powerpuff Girls in third, Banay Kalasangan in fourth, and Pyroclastic in fifth, all showcasing commendable effort and teamwork.

More than a competition, Environmentalino 4.0 stood as a celebration of unity and environmental consciousness under the spirit of DAGYAW. The event reinforced the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility in advancing a greener and more sustainable future for the community.
