The Sapiro Dance Troupe clinched championship title in the Contemporary Dance Competition during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025, at FS Zamora Hall on September 5.

According to Sapiro dancer Carlo Baรฑada, their winning performance was inspired by the worsening issue of corruption in the country.

"Our performance is about the issue today in our country, where corruption is getting worse and worse. But we showed in the last part of our performance that we can achieve Liwanag sa Dilim, where we can see the light of hope that we have been dreaming of for our country,โ€ he said.

Baรฑada also shared the challenges the group faced during rehearsals.

โ€œSa unang araw palang ng practice talagang nararamdamannamin yung hiya sa isaโ€™t isaโ€ฆ Pero habang tumatagal nanagkakasama kami ay doon kami nagiging komportableโ€ฆ pinatatag namin ang aming confidence na ipakita ang tunay natalento na ibinigay sa amin,โ€ he said.

Sapiro bested seven other teams, with Cassiopeia and Hathoria placing second and third, respectively.

Team Carcero, led by Melanie Orteza Mabasa of 4B Social Studies, emerged as champion in the short and sweet play competition during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025 on September 5.

Mabasa shared that joining the sweet play was one of the most unforgettable experiences as a student.

"When they announced that we were the champion, it was as if all the fatigue and nervousness were taken away," she said.

For her, the victory was so fulfilling because all their hard work and sacrifices had paid off.

Finding time to practice was one of the biggest challenges the team faced on its difficult journey, Mabasa recounted.

"Despite having only one practice session with my actors, they still showed their full talent and heart on the day of the performance," she said.

For Mabasa, the victory was not just for her but for the entire team that did not give up.

"It showed that no matter how difficult the situation, it is still possible to achieve success if everyone works together and helps one another," she said.

The team's triumph is a testament to the belief that with teamwork and dedication, anything is possible.

First-year Social Studies student Yuan Diones and first-year Bachelor of Elementary Education student Zaira Agcaoili were crowned Little Mr. and Ms. CTEd 2025 during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days on September 4.

Agcaoili, who claimed the title of Little Ms. CTEd 2025, described the win as "surreal."

โ€œTo be honest, it still feels like Iโ€™m dreaming. This was my very first pageant, and winning the crown makes me so happy and emotional at the same time,โ€ she shared.

For her, the most meaningful part of the experience was overcoming her self-doubt. โ€œAt first, I struggled with confidence and stage fright, but because of the people who believed in me, I turned those challenges into motivation,โ€ she said.

For Yuan Diones, the new Little Mr. CTEd 2025, the victory was both surprising and fulfilling.

โ€œI felt pride being crowned as Little Mr. CTEd. At first, I just wanted to do my best and make my teammates and classmates proud, but I never expected to actually win,โ€ he said.

He recalled the moment he was celebrated on stage.

โ€œThe most memorable part was when my classmates, team members, and teachers congratulated me with smiles on their faces and applause from the judges and audience. That was one of, if not the most, meaningful parts of the pageant for me,โ€ he said.

Rounding out the winners were Anna Marie Olivas and John Wayne Bigno, who were named 1st runners-up, followed by Reylyn Batan and Jordan Rosal as 2nd runners-up.

The Little Ms. & Mr. CTEd 2025 pageant was a triumph for all participants, serving as a platform for education students to express themselves and embrace values of leadership, creativity, and resilience.

Mr. Elmer Simon of Team Etheria and Ms. Krisha Lavarez of Team Sapiro clinched the two coveted titles in the search for CTE Ambassador and Ambassadress 2025 during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025 on September 5.

For Elmer Simon, the win was a complete surprise.

"Hanggang ngayon po hindi parin ako makapaniwala na nanalo ako," he shared.

Despite the lack of preparation and his nervousness on stage, Simon's faith helped him overcome his fears.

"Nag pray lang ako kay Lord," he recounted. "Sabi ko, 'Lord, ikaw na bahala manalo, matalo maraming salamat parin sa binigay mong experience."

The moment his name was called, it was a rush of pure joy.

"Todo hiyaw na ang mga classmates and groupmates ko pati na rin ibang grupo. Malaking pasasalamat ko sa lahat ng sumuporta sa akin, classmates ko man o groupmates o di kaya'y mula sa kabilang grupo,โ€ he said.

Krisha Lavarez, newly crowned CTE Ambassadress, meanwhile, expressed her overwhelming joy and surprise.

"I would say na sobrang saya ko that time since it was my first pageant po and at the same time, shock because I didn't expect the result. I was also overwhelmed with all the support. Overall, very happy and grateful po,โ€ she said.

Honoring intellectual and excellence, the competition recognized Mr. Bryan King Villacillo and Ms. Pia Blanca Villegas as Mr. and Ms. Academics 2025, and Mr. Genesis Eddamag and Ms. Layca Llanto as Mr. and Ms. Socio-Cultural 2025.

Sherlene Abuan, BSEd English 3, representing Team Sapiro, emerged as champion in the essay writing contest during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025 at Cagayan State Universityโ€“Lal-lo on September 5.

Abuan shared that she had little time to prepare after falling ill just days before the event.

โ€œI did not really have the time to prepare that much kasi I got sick the days before the event. But meโ€”being so invested with the current issues in the educational sectorโ€”really helped to support my arguments with facts,โ€ she said.

Now on her second CTE Days since transferring to CSU Lal-lo, Abuan noted the difference in this yearโ€™s celebration.

โ€œActually, itโ€™s just my second time joining the CTE College Days because I was a transferee. Siguro I can say that this year, mas intense yung competitions but in a good way. It brought so many students into the limelight to showcase their potentials,โ€ she said.

For Abuan, the victory came as a surprise.

โ€œHonestly, I can say na it was really unexpected. I was surprised and happy at the same time. It made me realize na I still have โ€˜itโ€™ even after years of not competing,โ€ she said.

The essay writing contest was among the centerpiece academic events of the two-day CTE Days, which also featured competitions in socio-cultural activities and visual arts.

Team Sapiro was hailed as the overall champion of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) College Days 2025, held on September 4-5 at Cagayan State University Lal-lo Campus.

Showcasing excellence in performing arts, visual arts, and academic contests, the team's unity and determination secured their victory over the other competing "kingdoms."

Despite only having a day to prepare, the team entered the competition with strategy and teamwork as their foundation.

"We really didnโ€™t expect to become the overall champion since we didnโ€™t have that many first-place wins. Most of our awards were just first and second runner-up, so this was very unexpected," Jane Bajet said.

Following Sapiro's triumph, Team Lireo and Team Avila secured first runner-up, while Team Cassiopeia and Team Etheria both emerged as second runner-up in the overall standings.

Team Sapiroโ€™s victory serves as proof that limited preparation is no obstacle when guided by vision, strategy, and unity, with their success reflecting the very essence of CTE College Days 2025.

Romelia Barcena, a second-year Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) English student from Team Adamya was hailed as the champion in the Storytelling competition during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025 on September 5.

As an English major, Barcena said she expected to participate in similar events, but she only joined the storytelling contest when their adviser was looking for a representative.

"I didn't have a choice but to say yes," she said.

Having placed as second runner-up in the short and sweet play competition with her group last year, Barcena was nervous to represent her team alone this time and compete against more experienced seniors.

โ€œLast year, my group was second runner-up in the short and sweet play. This time, I'm representing our group in storytelling, which makes me nervous since I'm a newbie competing against experienced seniors,โ€ she said.

Despite rushing to the storytelling venue with only five minutes to prepare after finishing a radio drama performance, Barcena delivered her piece while still catching her breath.

โ€œI was supposed to be the third performer, but the radio drama and storytelling events overlapped. I rushed to the storytelling event after finishing my radio drama part, still catching my breath. With only 5 minutes to prepare, I told my story surprisingly well, despite being nervous,โ€ she said.

Believing she had lost after the runners-up were announced, Barcena, who had told her adviser not to expect too much from her first time, was both surprised and thrilled when she was ultimately named champion.

โ€œI told Sir Jenerwin not to expect too much since it was my first time. When the runners-up were announced, I thought I lost. But then they called my name as the champion; I was surprised and thrilled,โ€ she said.

The win changed Barcena's perspective on her introverted nature, making her more confident and willing to take on similar challenges.

"Definitely, it shifted my mindset about being introverted. I've become more confident and willing to take on challenges like participating in those kinds of events," she said.

Meanwhile, Brigette Ramos of Team Lireo and Trish Valdez of Team Sapiro were awarded as the runners-up in the storytelling competition.

Dyron Adona, a 2nd-year BSED Social Studies student from Team Cassiopeia, emerged victorious in the Quiz Bowl competition during College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025 on September 5.

Adona revealed that this was only his second College Days participation, having skipped the Quiz Bowl last year due to self-doubt.

โ€œPangalawang college days ko na ito pero last year ay hindi ako sumali ng quiz bowl kasi nahihiya ako,โ€ he said.

Comparing this year's event to the past, Adona noted similarities but emphasized the importance of his unexpected win this time.

โ€œLast year college day at ngayon ay parehas lang pero ngayon kase ay may sinalihan na ako at nanalo pa nang hindi ko inaasahan,โ€ he said.

Recalling his emotions during the Quiz Bowl, Adona admitted feeling intense nerves, particularly with top students known for their academic prowess.

โ€œuna sa lahat is sobrang kabado ko kase yung mga kalahok ay sobrang gagaling nila. Lalo na sina Renier at Derick na top students sa klase nila,โ€ he said.

Following his triumph, Adona acknowledged a newfound self-perception, recognizing his ability to engage with intellectually bright peers in his department, as the victory validated his skills and boosted his confidence in interacting with academically adept students.

โ€œKagaya nga ng sinabi ko, nadevelop yung perspective ko na kaya ko pala kahit alam kong hindi ako gaanong katalino pero kaya ko pa rin na makipagsabayan sa mga matatalinong students sa department natin,โ€ he said.

In essence, Dyron Adona's journey underscores personal growth and newfound confidence, illustrating the transformative impact of academic competitions during College Days.

Meanwhile, Lizel Tamalia of Team Etheria and Precious Martinez of Team Lireo were named the runners-up in the said competition.

Paulyn Penonia, a first-year Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Social Studies student from Team Adamya, secured the championship in the Pagsusulat ng Sanaysay competition during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025 celebration on September 5.

Penonia said she went into her first College Days expecting a relaxed atmosphere, but the event pushed her beyond her comfort zone.

"The unexpected lang sa college days pala, is ilalabas ka rin niya sa binuo mong boundaries of capabilities mo, parang coming out of your shell, and a moment of reminding to not stay in mediocrity," she said.

Her victory in the writing contest changed her perspective, as she realized the importance of continually honing her skills after initially believing the event was only for enjoyment without the need for critical thinking.

"I realized after I won the top spot, huwag mo talagang hahayaang matanggal iyong burning skills and capabilities mong mamatay o magpahinga man lang kasi sa kahit anong given circumstances, magagamit at magagamit mo siya," she said.

Upon being named champion, Penonia felt both happiness and surprise, admitting she was not confident in her writing skills, especially since many of her opponents were from higher-year levels.

"One factor is, almost lahat ng kalaban ko galing higher grade kaya napaisip ako ng, 'ah, mas maalam na sila,'" she said.

Moreover, Penonia cited two reasons for her happiness: the pride of winning and representing her team, Adamya, and the joy of sharing knowledge through her writing.

โ€œI want to expand lang my two reasons of happiness. First, nandon na yung pride of winning. Kasi hindi lang naman pangalan ko iyong dinadala ko, buong adamya rin. Second is, masaya akong nakapagbabahagi ako ng kaalaman at mga ideya sa ganitong plataporma, palagi kong napagtatanto after na, makapangyarihan pala talaga ang tinta ko,โ€ she said.

After the competition and her victory, Penonia realized she was still capable of writing and her passion for it had been reignited, motivating her to study harder and contribute to society with her knowledge.

In a display of skill and determination, Gerald Ancheta, hailing from Team Carcero, emerged victorious as the champion in Pagkukwento during the College of Teacher Education Days 2025 on September 5.

When asked about his preparations for the competition, Ancheta revealed that he practices every time he takes a break from answering his Field Study episodes.

โ€œNag-eensayo tuwing nagpapahinga akong sumagot sa mga episodes ko sa Field study,โ€ he said.

Though this was Ancheta's final college days event, which followed the same format as previous years, he noted a difference in the storytelling contest where the provided narratives were shorter.

โ€œIto na ang huli, same din lang ang mga events sa mga nakaraan. Ang pinagkaiba nga lang mas maiksi ang mga kwentong ibinigay para sa pagkukwento,โ€ Ancheta said.

Upon being hailed as the champion in Pagkukwento, Ancheta expressed overwhelming joy and gratitude, despite not having had extensive preparation.

"Sobrang saya at feeling blessed dahil ipinagkaloob sa akin ang pinakamataas na pwesto kahit hindi ako masyadong nakapaghanda," he said.

Reflecting on his final college days celebration, Ancheta expressed a mix of sadness and triumph, as the tinge of sadness from it being his last college event was replaced by the joy of his victory.

"May bahid ng kirot sa damdamin sapagkat ito na ang huling pagkakataon ko upang malasap ang saya ng pagdiriwang tuwing College Day. Subalit napawi ang pangungulila nang magwagi ako bilang kampeon sa patimpalak na pagkukwento," he said

Ancheta's victory stands as a testament to his dedication and talent, leaving a mark on the College Days celebration.

Completing the winner's circle for the Pagkukwento competition, Susan Berbano of Team Avila and Jocelyn Aspacio of Team Sapiro emerged as the runners-up.

Jhanieva Collado, a second-year BSEd Social Studies student, representing the Team Sapiro, named as the champion in the Dagliang Talumpati competition during the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Days 2025 at Cagayan State University Lal-lo on September 5.

Collado described the win as both rewarding and fulfilling.

โ€œAll the effort, preparation, and even the nervousness paid off. More than the award, Iโ€™m grateful for the chance to share my ideas and principles about the topic,โ€ she said.

While not new to public speaking, Collado emphasized that every competition presents a new challenge.

โ€œIโ€™m not entirely new to public speaking, but I believe that every competition is a fresh challenge. Even with experience, I always see each one as an opportunity to grow, improve, and learn something new,โ€ she said.

In addition to her victory, Collado also placed as runner-up in the extemporaneous speaking contest, securing a double win in this yearโ€™s CTE Days.

โ€œItโ€™s both humbling and inspiring because it shows that when you give your best with determination, good results follow. But for me, more than the titles, what truly matters are the lessons Iโ€™ve gainedโ€”discipline, confidence, and the ability to share meaningful ideas with others,โ€ she said.

The public speaking events were among the highlights of the two-day celebration, which featured academic, cultural, and visual arts competitions.

Meanwhile, Derick Amarles of Team Cassiopeia and Mikaela Flores of Team Etheria were hailed as the runners-up in the said competition.
