𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.

As we light up our candles to embrace our remembrance and healing, may we commemorate 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 or 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐬—a period of prayer and reflection. May we be filled with gratitude for the memories we shared. Let us not forget how they were a part of us—significant, and loved.

Their presence brings wisdom and connection to our own lives. Each moment and bond we cherish is not just a memory, but a string that binds our hearts. They were mourned, but never forgotten— for they live in our hearts forever.

This 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐬, let us take a moment to reflect, understand, and connect. Through our prayers, our Vincentian spirit lingers.

For the memories we hold are never wasted—they remain precious to those who love and remember.

𝐕-𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 | The entire campus roared with cheers and pulsed with excitement as the Basic Education Department of Universidad de Sta. Isabel de Naga, Inc. officially opened this year’s much-awaited Intramurals, themed “Honoring Filipino Epics: True Camaraderie and Sportsmanship,” anchored on the core values of respect, simplicity, service, and Vincentian excellence.

The celebration began with a grand parade that filled the grounds with color and spirit, followed by the ceremonial opening highlighted by the symbolic lighting of the torch, the solemn oath of sportsmanship, and the proud introduction of the participating teams. The House of Hinilawod, Clan of Darangen, Tribe of Ibalon, and Guild of Lam-ang each brought the crowd to life with their electrifying Pakulo presentations, radiating creativity, unity, and friendly rivalry.

By the afternoon, the energy carried into the courts as the first matches of Basketball and Volleyball unfolded at the Frassatti Gymnasium. Cheers echoed as players gave their all, displaying not just strength and skill, but true sportsmanship. Meanwhile, due to a sudden downpour, the Laro ng Lahi was thoughtfully postponed to the next day to ensure everyone’s safety.
