Students of the City College of Cagayan de Oro celebrated the four-day CBM Days 2026 through various activities that showcased teamwork, creativity, leadership, and talent among students from the College of Business Management held on May 11โ14, 2026, at the City College campus.
The celebration featured colorful booths, games, dance and singing competitions, and the much-awaited Mr. and Ms. CBM Ambassador 2026. Students from different programs and sections worked together as teams representing different regions in Asia.
In her opening speech, Dr. Rowena R. Orbeta, LPT, CPA, reminded students that learning does not only happen inside the classroom. She shared that CBM Days is not only about games and activities, but also about giving students a chance to shine and discover important lessons in life.
She also encouraged students to practice teamwork despite their differences and to become more creative and confident leaders during the celebration. Dr. Orbeta praised the students for their colorful and creative booths prepared for the event.
One of the participants, Ms. Candy Rochell C. Montecillo from BSOA, shared her experience during the event.
โAkong maingon sa CBM Days kay wala ko nag expect nga magka unite ang mga students from Entrep ug Office Ad and despite sa differences we did work it out sa success sa CBM Days. Daghan pud na discover nga mga talents ug display of skills,โ she said.
Meanwhile, the third day of the celebration became one of the most exciting parts of the event as students competed in dance and singing contests and joined the Mr. and Ms. CBM Ambassador 2026 pageant.
Representing South Asia, Gieven Sabuero and Geoff Ratunil were crowned as Mr. and Ms. CBM Ambassador 2026. Desiree Tigol and Jaymark Escabarte of East Asia were named 1st Runner Up, while Janice Sumubay and Von Vincent Plaza of West Asia secured the 2nd Runner Up title. Kier Darlyn Gardose and Vaness Ken Acenas of Southeast Asia placed as 3rd Runner Up.
Through the different activities, CBM Days 2026 became more than just a school celebration as it helped students build friendships, discover talents, and work together as one community. (MDL/DLL/ONP)
