Other contestants also captivated the audience with heartfelt performances that turned the court into a celebration of tradition and artistry.

As the clock struck 9:00 AM, the atmosphere inside the gymnasium intensified as dance crews took center stage for 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻’𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝘄. The audience erupted with every beat drop, formation, and powerful stomp on the stage.

The 𝗣𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 officially kicked off its first ever 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘿𝙖𝙮𝙨 celebration under its 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 running from 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟯 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟱 with themes circling around 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘶𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺—“𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖, 𝙈𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣 𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣”. As the Opening day was filled with plumes and energy, featuring a grand parade of students and organizations, with the elegant 𝙎𝙖-𝙂𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝘿𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 showcasing Filipino-inspired attires, creativity, and cultural performances, while 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 earned recognition through 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝘂𝗹𝗼 from 𝗕𝗦 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝟮𝗔, who culminated the 𝘽𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 and placed 𝟭𝙨𝙩 𝙍𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧-𝙪𝙥.

During the celebration, the campus fills the air with food stalls, game stations, and booths set up by various student organizations around the campus. It offered fun and served as a meaningful way for Honorians to come together, showcase their ingenuity, and take pride in their shared culture on the community of the school grounds.

The most anticipated part of Day 1 Fete was the 𝗠𝘅. 𝗤&𝗔 coronation night, where the top four finalists showed off their sagacity, aplomb, and wits during the Question and Answer segment. Surrounded by all the shining eyes, one stood tall. 𝗠𝘅. 𝗥𝗕 𝗗𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀 from 𝗕𝗦 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗦𝗰𝗶 𝟮𝗔 became the pillar of strength of 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀. With every step across the stage, she didn’t just carry the name, she carried the heart of our department. Her performance was filled with excellence and charm seamlessly blending what our college is known for. We saw more than a competitor, we saw a reflection of our department’s commitment to diversity and equality.

When the competition started building its hype, an unexpected power interruption paused the performances. Yet, even with the unexpected event, the true character of honorians shined brighter than any stage light ever could. No panic entered the room, only heartbeats of support where the crowd erupted in cheers, refusing to let darkness eat the celebration of love and confidence.

“𝑴𝒂, 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒎?”

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Thighs and drumsticks are preferable as they stay tender.
Combine with soy sauce and garlic in a large bowl. Marinate.
Turn the news on and pour yourself a coffee.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add everything together.

𝘚𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳.

In the meantime, check the front door.
See if the sun’s low enough for footsteps to creep in.
Blow some contacts over. Ask where everyone is.
One’s on their way home. Another will stay late at work.
Scrub the floors raw until it sparkles again.

𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵’𝘭𝘭 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Look over your shoulder–the laundry’s not done yet.
And someone will need their shirt ironed tomorrow.
A bill came in this afternoon.
Somehow, that has to be handled, too.
But no matter, the pot’s been simmering for a while.

𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯.

For now, your youngest starts kinder tomorrow.
And the other will ask for crayons at midnight.
Your brows will furrow from how late it’s gotten–
Then your oldest opens the door, finally in sight.

“Ma, anong ulam?” Comes the million dollar question.
As if the burning soy sauce in the air didn’t give it away.
But you put your hand out anyway–
The back of it against their forehead.

“𝘈𝘥𝘰𝘣𝘰,” 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘺.

May every 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 come home to tables filled with warmth, and may we give extra love to the hands that prepare our meals.

And if you can help it, offer a tighter embrace today. 𝘌𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝑴𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒔, 𝑴𝒐𝒎𝒔, 𝑴𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒔, 𝑵𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒚𝒔, 𝑳𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒔, 𝑻𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒔 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.
