During the first two (2) days of November, we celebrate both the faithful departed and religious paragons by lighting candles before altars and tombs.

𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀’ 𝗗𝗮𝘆, observed every Nov. 1, is a commemoration of all saints who lived holy lives of faith and goodness—a tradition in the Catholic Church that honors both known and unknown saints who have attained eternal life with God.

On Nov. 2, 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀’ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 is dedicated to remembering and honoring the deceased through laying down flowers and candles. This is a moment where we reminisce about their time, and wish them eternal comfort. It is an annual testament of how our love persists beyond our mortal lives.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | After screening twelve (12) candidates, Isha Celestino from the Communication department and Ken Laurence Ante of the Performing Arts department were crowned Mr. And Ms. College of Arts and Letters (MMCAL) 2025, Saturday, Oct. 25, at the New CAL lobby.

In an interview with Budyong, Celestino shared that joining MMCAL was a dream come true, and also an opportunity to advocate for mental health awareness.

"The very reason why I joined MMCAL, aside from it being my lifelong dream to be in the MMBU stage, is [also] because of my [advocacy] which is mental health awareness through inclusivity and diversity,” she said.

Meanwhile, Ante dedicated his win to his fellow students in their department.

"This win is not just for me, but also for my fellow students who are afraid to take risks, and for my fellow student artists on my department of Performing Arts. I can’t wait to represent our college on a bigger stage and show what we have to offer," he said.

The winners will be representing the college for the upcoming Mr. And Ms. Bicol University (MMBU) 2025, which is expected to take place in November. | via Justine Bacarez

#𝗕𝗨𝗢𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 | ‎The College of Arts and Letters (CAL) women’s relay team finished third during the final relay game, Saturday, Oct. 25, at the BU Sports Complex.

After placing fourth in the heats level earlier morning, the team was able to advance in the finals where they took home the bronze medal.

Team member and Journalism student Rose Anne Mae Alejo said that the competition allowed her to meet more people.

“‘Yung pagsali ko dito, marami akong na-meet na new from different colleges. Grabe talaga mga naging friends ko na,” she said.
‎
‎Alejo added that even though they did not place first, she valued the experience and the relationships they built throughout the competition.
‎
‎“I expected gold, of course, pero we lack training, tas ‘yung mga kalaban mabigat. Apat lang kaming mga naglalaro, papalit-palit pa kami. Congrats to everyone talaga, pero win or lose, it’s not just about the game—it’s about having connections with each and everyone,” she added.

As the athletics events wrapped up in an awarding ceremony, CAL is expected to bring home multiple medals earned throughout the competition.

#𝗕𝗨𝗢𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 | The Bicol University College of Arts and Letters (BUCAL) women’s volleyball team secured another win against BU Tabaco Campus (BUTC), scoring 30–24, at the BU College of Industrial Technology Multi-purpose Court, Friday, Oct. 24.

The team’s middle spiker, Fenz Lumberio, expressed her happiness over their victory.

“As a senior playing for CAL, I’m happy and proud that we were able to get through it,” she said.

Lumberio also added how communication played a huge role in maintaining camaraderie among her teammates.

“Communication is key, lalo na after an error. One tap lang means a lot because it’s a way of saying, 'It’s okay, bawi tayo.’ And I always say, smile lang always para magaan lang ang vibes sa court,” she shared.

The team will be competing in the quarter finals against BU College of Business, Economics, and Management (CBEM) tomorrow, Oct. 25. | via Clarisse Rabe

#𝗕𝗨𝗢𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 | The men's basketball team of Bicol University College of Arts and Letters (CAL) failed to advance to the semi-finals after suffering a 6-44 loss to BU Polangui Campus (BUPC) in the elimination round held at the Daraga Covered Court, Friday, Oct. 24.

The team previously faced defeats in two (2) matches yesterday, falling to the College of Education (CE) and College of Science (CS), with final scores of 16-32 and 24-35, respectively.

In an interview with Kyle Jiro Aldrin Llanes, a Communication student and team member, attributed their team's defeat to their limited training period, but acknowledged that it's no excuse.

"Nag-start kami mag-practice almost two weeks lang, like 'yung seryosong practice as a team, kasi 'yon nga syempre students din naman kami, may mga kaniya-kaniyang schedules, may kaniya-kaniyang commitments outside of this org,” Llanes shared.

The BU Olympics 2025 concludes tomorrow with the final day of competitions.
