Pateros Technological College took part in spreading sweetness and creativity as it participated in the Go Go Pateros Trick or Treat 2025, held along G. de Borja Street, Pateros.
The annual celebration, organized by the Municipality of Pateros, gathered families, friends, and local organizations for an afternoon filled with fun, creativity, and community spirit. Children paraded in their spookiest, cutest, and most creative costumes, bringing life and color to the municipal grounds as the search for the Best in Costume began. Before the main program, participants registered and received treats as they visited the various booths set up inside the municipal hall, creating an atmosphere of excitement and joy across the venue.
Adding an extra touch of sweetness to the celebration, Pateros Technological College (PTC) actively participated through the PTC Faculty Federation, serving as the official sponsor of the eventโs goodies, in partnership with the Supreme Student Council (SSC) and the Accredited Student Organizations (AcSO). This initiative, under the leadership of College President Dr. Analiza F. Arcega, reflected PTCโs commitment to community engagement, youth participation, and local collaboration, embodying the institutionโs mission of service and civic responsibility. The AcSO collaborated for the Halloween-themed booth, spearheaded by PTC Image Collaborative Media, which became a photo spot for families and children.
The event featured exciting giveaways and a thrilling Magic Show, all designed to bring smiles to the faces of children and families alike. The laughter and cheers that filled the municipal grounds truly captured the joy of Halloween in Pateros, a celebration not just of costumes and candy but of unity and creativity. As part of the highlights, winners of the Best in Costume competition received cash prizes and gift certificates provided by the event sponsors and partners.
In an interview during the event, Mayor Gerald German shared his message to all the children and families who participated in Trick or Treat 2025: โIsang buwan namin pinaghandaan ang preparation simula pa noong September. In-charge talaga dito si Direk Kenneth Cruz. Dito sa Pateros, inaabangan talaga ito ng mga bata bawat taon. Hindi lang ang local government ang nag-oorganize, pati mga kabataan at barangay din. Sig**o sa munisipyo lang ang pinakamalaki dahil ito ang pinakahuling may Halloween Trick or Treat, at nakakatuwa ngayon dahil ginawa namin ito sa loob ng munisipyo para mas safe ang mga bata. Thank God, naging successful namanโnapakarami ng umattend at sponsors, hindi lang LGU kundi pati private companies. Tinatanong ko rin kung gusto pa ng lahat na maulit ito, dahil may ilan na hindi pabor sa ganitong gawain. Pero para sa akin, katuwaan lamang itoโparang costume party. Nakikita natin dito kung gaano katalented at creative ang mga kababayan natin, lalo naโt naglalaan sila ng oras para pagandahin ang kanilang costume.โ
Mayor Germanโs message highlighted the municipalityโs focus on safety, inclusivity, and celebration, underscoring that the event was more than just a Halloween gathering, it was a joyful expression of community pride and creativity.
Through its participation in this event, Pateros Technological College continues to support the Municipality of Pateros in its initiatives that promote community engagement, creativity, and youth involvement. The PTC's active presence in activities like Go Go Pateros Trick or Treat 2025 reflects its dedication to service, partnership, and the shared goal of fostering unity and joy among the people of Pateros.
