Celebrating Community and Spirit at Friendstival 2024

On September 16, 2024, the College of Arts and Sciences and Education (CASED) held its much-anticipated Friendstival at the CCB Gymnasium. This year's theme, "One Spirit, One Team: CASEDians Elevating Each Other Through Sportsmanship and Lasting Bonds,"perfectly encapsulated the spirit of camaraderie and cooperation that defines our vibrant community.

The event was enriched by a remarkable collaboration between PRISM, along with two outstanding organizations, AKKAP and TAWIPAFI. Together, they fostered an atmosphere of unity and shared purpose, highlighting the importance of teamwork in both sports and the arts.

A special shoutout goes to Ms. Georgia S. Begosa, our dedicated PRISM President, who not only participated in the festivities but also showcased her talents by winning 2nd Runner-Up in the Ms. CASED competition. Her unwavering passion and commitment to our community serve as an inspiration to us all.

We also want to congratulate several talented CASEDians who made significant contributions to the event:

- Mr. Jefferson Cy, who proudly represented Mr. TAWIKAPRISM with charisma and grace.
- Mr. Kenneth D. Adaptas, who captivated the audience with his poignant Spoken Word Poetry during the Casedian Got Talent segment.
- Mr. Carlos John Dayap, who shone brightly by clinching 1st Place in Cc-Awitan with his outstanding performance.
