CBA Week 2025 continued the College of Business and Accountancy’s advocacy for holistic and relevant education through its theme, “Innovate, Integrate, Inspire: Bridging Business, Technology, and Culture.” The week-long celebration highlighted the balance between academic excellence, innovation, and creative expression among CBA students.

The event was organized by the College of Business and Accountancy Student Council (CBASCo), with activities designed to reflect this balance through performance-based events, academic competitions, and student-led initiatives. According to Jenny Sanao, CBASCO President, CBA Week was implemented to showcase the diverse talents of CBA students while reinforcing the department’s belief that learning extends beyond the classroom.

Cultural and creative events such as The Noise, CBA Idol, Dragon Dance, Dance Showdown, and Mr. and Ms. CBA Runway provided platforms for students to express creativity, confidence, and performance skills. Academic and sports-related competitions complemented these activities by emphasizing discipline, strategic thinking, and innovation.

Hence, organizers also looked ahead to the upcoming Foundation Week 2026. Unlike last year, when only ball games were included, board games were added this year to give students more opportunities to compete individually. These games will also determine which students will represent CBA in the Liga ng Palakasan 2026. Valerie Lorraine Almeda, last year’s CBA representative at the Liga Scrabble competition, won this year’s CBA Week Scrabble competition and will represent the department once again. She shared that she’s excited to compete, looking forward to representing CBA and hoping to place again in the upcoming Liga.

Among the key events, the Dragon Dance and academic competitions, including Ideation and SDG/ISR Project Pitching, were highlighted as core representations of the department. The Dragon Dance involved students conceptualizing and designing a dragon that symbolized unity and departmental identity. Ideation and SDG/ISR Pitching allowed students to apply business knowledge to innovation-driven and sustainability-focused solutions, aligning with the College’s core principles.

Newly introduced in 2025 was the Startup Challenge, a business pitching competition that provided students with an avenue to present entrepreneurial ideas and demonstrate real-world business applications.

Day 2 of CBA Week 2025 featured the AI Summit, in line with LPU–Laguna CBA’s initiative to integrate artificial intelligence and emerging technologies into its programs and curriculum. Industry professionals discussed the role of AI as a tool to enhance human performance rather than replace it, while also addressing ethical concerns and its impact on student learning and research.

The anticipated CBA Night was not held during CBA Week 2025 due to budget limitations and scheduling constraints, particularly the concentration of cultural activities on the first day of the program. However, CBASCO assured students that CBA Night remained part of future plans, with alternative initiatives being considered to foster shared experiences and strengthen department-wide engagement.

Despite challenges encountered during preparation and implementation, including overlapping academic commitments and logistical concerns, CBA Week 2025 was successfully carried out through the coordinated efforts of the organizers and the student body.
