Hawak nila ang beat, hawak nila ang sandata, at hawak din nila ang pagkapanalo!"⚔️🔥

Grabe ang pasiklaban! The 2nd Year Social Studies students definitely made their mark today, securing a solid 5th Place finish out of a massive field of 26 competing blocks during the PATHFit Day 2026: Centralized Practical Activity!🏆✨

Sa ilalim ng temang Sayaw ng Sandata: Tradisyon sa Bawat Galaw,” hindi lang sila basta sumayaw nagpakitang-gilas sila ng tunay na disiplina, lakas, at garbo. Sa gitna ng mahigpit na kompetisyon laban sa 25 ibang blocks sa buong unibersidad, napatunayan ng mga Social Studies majors na kaya nilang makipagsabayan sa malakasan! 💃🏅

Mula sa bawat kumpas hanggang sa bawat galaw, ramdam na ramdam ang kanilang pagkakaisa at pagmamalaki sa tradisyon. This achievement is a huge testament to their hard work and dedication. Hindi lang sila bihasa sa kasaysayan, master din pala nila ang entablado dahil ramdam na ramdam na hawak nila ang beat!🥁🔥

Congratulations to all the performers from the 2nd Year Social Studies! Patuloy lang sa paghataw! Onward and upward!
