CSAB ACHIEVERS:

Augustinians reign supreme at the Battle of the Nightingales 2025!

Colegio San Agustin Bacolod emerged as Champion in the Battle of the Nightingales 2025, an inter-school Nursing Quiz Bowl Competition hosted by Riverside Medical Center, Incorporated.

The event was held at the 3rd floor of SM Bacolod on August 29, 2025.

It brought together the best and brightest nursing students from 13 higher education institutions across Western Visayas and the Negros Island Region.

Leading CSAB to victory were the proud Augustinian nursing champions, Therese Erika A. Gomez, J Eugene Christian S. Jolito, and Lyn Rae M. Vallejo, under the expert guidance of their coach, Ms. Lourdes Ivaliz Iledan, RN, MN.

Their teamwork, preparation, and determination propelled CSAB to the top spot, bringing immense honor and pride to the Augustinian community.

With this victory, the Augustinian champions will carry the banner of the Visayas Region as they advance to the National Level Competitions, proving their excellence on an even bigger stage.

In a spirited display of brilliance, CSAB outshone its peers to claim the championship title, while Silliman University – Dumaguete secured second place, and Iloilo Doctor’s College placed third.

The competition also featured participation of other colleges and universities, including the University of St. La Salle, University of Negros Occidental Recoletos, West Visayas State University, Foundation University (Dumaguete City), University of San Agustin (Iloilo), State University of Northern Negros, Central Philippine Adventist College, Riverside College, St. Paul University (Dumaguete City), and Negros Oriental State University.

This remarkable triumph highlights not only the commitment to excellence of CSAB’s nursing students but also the collective support of their families and mentors at the College of Health and Allied Professions – Nursing Program.

CSAB extends its warm congratulations to the winning team and to all participating schools for making this year’s Battle of the Nightingales a meaningful celebration of knowledge, camaraderie, and the noble profession of nursing.

Soar higher, Augustinian student-nurses!

BACOLOD CITY – Barangay 8 cemented their reign as champions, securing their second consecutive title at the 5th Tanduay Bacolod Rum Festival’s Parade and Street Dance Competition. The event, held on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at the Bacolod City Government Center grounds, showcased the city’s vibrant culture.

Vista Youth Movers propelled Barangay 8 to victory, outperforming seven other barangays. The group was awarded a ₱100,000 cash prize, along with gift packs from Tanduay Distillers, Inc. (TDI).

“Our main goal was really to become a back-to-back champion,” said choreographer Yuri Delicano, expressing his pride. “This is the payoff of all our sacrifices, exhaustion, and even late-night rehearsals under the rain."

Barangay Cabug won second place, receiving ₱60,000, while Barangay 6 finished third, earning ₱40,000.

Under the theme “Nakatagong Galing” (Hidden Talent), this year’s festival put a spotlight on Bacolod’s rich local talent through performances inspired by the city’s culture, tourism, artistry, governance, and rum-making heritage.

Mayor Greg Gasataya emphasized the city’s dedication to supporting Bacolodnons in creative and bartending fields.

“We are renewing our commitment to honor our heritage, to uplift our people, and to show the world that Bacolod is and will always be the proud home of the World’s No. 1 Rum—and that is Tanduay Rum,” he stated.

Gasataya also shared his aspirations for the next Rum Festival to be “even more colorful, intentional, and purposeful.”

TDI Executive Vice President Dennis Ching commended the community’s robust participation.

“This festival is our way of giving back to Bacolod’s heritage, to celebrate the community behind our partnership with the city, and its leaders,” he said.

Ching also acknowledged the seven schools across Negros that participated in TDI’s Rum Education initiative and the eight barangays that displayed their artistry in the competition.

Barangays 2, 21, Felisa, Alangilan, and Vista Alegre also participated in the event.

The festival concluded with a free grand concert featuring Mayonnaise, Zack Tabudlo, Amiel Sol, Robledo Timido, and Tanduay ambassadors Derek Ramsay and Julia Barretto.

BACOLOD CITY – Six business establishments were shut down on Friday, August 29, 2025, by the Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) in coordination with the City Legal Office (CLO) for operating without business permits. The closures were part of a larger initiative targeting 43 establishments recommended for closure.

The establishments ordered closed include a department store, a pastry shop, a salon, a dressed chicken plant, and a boarding house located in Barangays 31, 17, 15, and 13.

BPLO head Stela Rose Rayos said the firms were found in violation of Section 65, Article 20 of City Ordinance No. 565, or the Revised Revenue Code of Bacolod City. She noted that notices were already issued prior to the closure order.

“Upon issuance of the second Notice of Violation and Closure, firms must voluntarily suspend operation and comply with the requirements within 15 days, pending the issuance of the Mayor’s Permit,” Rayos explained.

Owners and representatives were sternly warned against resuming operations without proper permits, or they may face additional sanctions.

The BPLO and CLO teams are set to continue the enforcement of closure orders next week.
