‎The anticipated sashing ceremony for 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 took place on Tuesday morning, right after the flag ceremony at the 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗚𝘆𝗺, officially heralding the beginning of this year’s acquaintance party.
‎
‎Staff, school officials, students, and supporters gathered in a display of admiration and pride as the candidates were formally presented and sashed in preparation for the upcoming Pagkilalahay 2025.
‎
‎The ceremony opened with a solemn invocation, followed by an energetic cheer and presentation by 𝗠𝘀. 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗼 and 𝗠𝗿. 𝗥𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗼, representing the 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
‎
‎A highlight of the program was the formal sashing of the candidates — each one’s sash bearing their respective academic program. As each sash was placed, applause echoed through the gym, and a visible sense of pride filled the faces of friends and supporters.
‎
‎As the sashes were secured and the formalities concluded, excitement hung in the air. More than just a ceremony, it was a beginning — one that promises pageantry, unity, and a vibrant sense of community.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐮𝐬𝐚 𝐬𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐚: 𝐀𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐚 by Renalyn Ballos and Marie Nelle Alemania

Kalipay nga nagahari, sa lamisa sang amon balay,
Pamilya nagatipon, wala sang away nga mabatian.
Si Tatay nagapangamuyo, si Nanay nagaluto,
Mga bata nagapungko — masinulundon kag maayo.

May istorya kag katahum bisan subong,
Ginahambal sang katigulangan: “Tanan nga buot, tumanon.”
Sugilanon nila, “Bisan kapoy ang adlaw, indi mabatyagan,
Kon upod ang pamilya, tanan nga problema madula.”

Ang pagkaon indi lang kan-on kag sud-an,
Kundi simbolo sang gugma kag respeto nga ginahandum.
Simple nga pag-updanay sa tunga sang lamisa,
Ginaupod sang pagkaon ang gugma nga naga-isa.
Nagahatag kalipay kag paglaum sa tagsa ka tuig nga upod sa pagkaon.

Sa kada lamisa naga-isa ang tanan,
Nagahugpong sang tagipusuon.
Upod ang pamilya — isa ka handum nga matuod,
Nagapadayon kag nagapabakod
Sang gugma sang isa kag isa.

Kaina nga pamilya — isa ka hiyas nga indi mabaklan,
Dira nagatubo ang paglaum, kabakod kag kabudlayan.
Pabilin nga mahalaga bisan sa madamo nga buluhaton,
Kay sa kaingod sang pamilya, ara ang tinuod nga pagpalangga.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | Staying true to their identity as 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) students showcased their commitment and focus as they tackled their preliminary examinations today, September 16, 2025.

Marking the official start of the prelim exam period, students across various BSBA sections were seen diligently answering their test questionnaires — a culmination of the knowledge and skills they have acquired since the opening of classes.

The prelim exams serve as a crucial checkpoint in the academic calendar, designed to assess students’ foundational understanding of their courses during the early part of the semester.

Alam kong siya pa rin ang nasa isip mo, pero mag-focus ka muna—hindi siya ang may points, kundi ang exam. 😌

Kung talo ka man sa pag-ibig, bumawi ka na lang sa prelims. Grades > Heartbreak, always. 💪 Kaya tigil na sa scroll, tigil sa stalk. Ibuhos mo na lang ang effort sa notes kaysa sa mga chat na seen-zoned ka rin naman. 🤭

Prelim season formula: Prayer + Reviewer + Ballpen + Enough Sleep.
Wag nang maghintay ng "Good luck, love," kasi wala ka nun.

Tandaan: mas mabuting mapuyat sa kaka-review kaysa mapuyat sa kahihintay ng reply na hindi naman darating.
