𝐈𝐍 𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐒: The third day of the 5th Local Leadership Summit: ASCEND 2026 unfolded with challenging tasks, collaborative service, and strengthened camaraderie among the seekers from the twelve Houses of Cards.

The day commenced with Cut Throat, a debriefing session where it was revealed that the seekers would take part in a survival challenge for the day. As part of the Survival Day, each House of Cards was tasked to prepare and cook their own food, testing their resourcefulness, cooperation, and teamwork.

The seekers then ventured beyond the campus as part of Card of the World, the community extension activity of ASCEND 2026. The Houses were grouped into three, with each group carrying different missions. The Arcana of Abundance, held at Looc, Tapilon, an outreach program for children; the Wands of Restoration participated in a Brigada Eskwela at Agujo Elementary School; while the Tide of Renewal carried out a coastal clean-up drive at Aroma Beach.

Following the missions was the Card of Strength: Team Building, where various stations tested the cooperation, trust, and determination of each House of Cards. Through different challenges and collaborative tasks, the seekers showcased not only their competitiveness but also their unwavering teamwork and solidarity.

At nightfall, Hon. Gilbert M. Arrabis, Municipal Mayor of Daanbantayan, delivered an inspirational message reminding seekers that leadership is not about titles, power, or popularity, but about service, responsibility, and character.

Capping off Day 3, seekers embarked on the trials during the Card of the Hanged Man, the much-anticipated Exodus, which challenged both their physical endurance and mental strength.
