Reigning Miss FCUSR 2023, Catherene Mae Kapoor of the College of Teacher Education (CTE), walked the stage one last time with grace and confidence as she bid farewell to her title, November 6.

In her heartfelt farewell message, Kapoor reflected on the meaning behind her reign.

"Being Miss FCUSR 2023 was more than just the title and the crownโ€”it was a blessing that gave me confidence, courage, and purpose.โ€

She shared that the journey was not easy, but it became a fulfilling chapter marked by the friendships, lessons, and bonds she built along the way.

As she passed on the title to Durana, another queen from the same department, Kapoorโ€™s legacy of grace and humility continues to echo across the halls of Filamer.

Returning to the stage with renewed passion, Ralph Matthew Patricio of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) secured 3rd Place in the Vocal Solo category during the Cultural Competition held at the FCU Gym, November 7.

Performing Gary Valencianoโ€™s โ€œIliligtas Ka Niya,โ€ Patricio delivered a heartfelt performance that brought the songโ€™s message of faith and comfort to life.

Now stepping back into the spotlight, this time as a solo performer after previously competing as part of a duo, Patricio expressed how fulfilling it felt to perform again.

โ€œI was very overwhelmed because I got the opportunity to participate as the CTE departmentโ€™s singer in this yearโ€™s Founders Day, and Iโ€™m very glad that I made it to the top 3,โ€ he shared.

In preparing for the competition, Patricio admitted that the process wasnโ€™t always easy. โ€œMy preparation was just fine, but sometimes I felt pressured, but itโ€™s okay because it was effective,โ€ he said, reflecting on how the experience strengthened his confidence and discipline as a performer.

Guiding him through his musical journey was his coach, Mrs. Myrla B. Manua, whose steady mentorship helped refine his technique and stage presence.

The College of Teacher Education (CTE) chess players showcased both strategic prowess and determination in this yearโ€™s chess tournament, held at the FCU Library, October 23-24.

In the womenโ€™s division, Gella Mae Deloviar and Stela Besana led the charge on Boards 1 and 2, finishing with an impressive overall score of 6.5.

Despite tying with teams from College of Hospitality and Tourism Management (CHTM) and College of Business and Accountancy (CBA), CTE narrowly missed advancing after the tiebreaker round, ultimately ranking 4th.

The menโ€™s division saw John Harvey Delfin and Allen Ross Francisco representing the department on Boards 1 and 2, concluding the tournament with a total score of 2.5, tying with CHTM and securing a joint 7.5th place.

Guiding the team throughout the competition was Ms. Ruth Golingan, whose mentorship helped the players prepare mentally and strategically for each match.

Despite their determined efforts, the men and women spikers of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) fell short in their bid to secure a spot in the semi-finals of this yearโ€™s volleyball tournament.

The College Sports Fest officially kicked off on October 15 with an energetic opening program, setting the tone for a week-long showcase of athleticism, sportsmanship, and camaraderie among Filamerians.

However, the competition faced interruptions when Typhoon Ramil struck on October 18, forcing a temporary halt to the games.

Undeterred by the weather setbacks, the tournaments resumed on October 23, where CTEโ€™s spikers returned to the court with renewed spiritโ€”displaying resilience, teamwork, and unwavering determination.

Though their journey ended before the semi-finals, the CTE spikers stood tall in defeat, embodying the values of perseverance and unity that define the true Filamerian spirit.

Talent and harmony took center stage as Kent Matthew Postremo and Shine Victoriano of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) claimed 1st Place in the Vocal Duet category during the Cultural Competition held at the FCU Gym, November 7.

Their moving rendition of the song "Hawak Kamay" earned them the honor of representing Filamer Christian University, Inc. (FCU) in the upcoming Capiz Private Schools Association, Inc. (CAPRISA) Meet 2025.

When asked about his initial reaction, Postremo shared that he felt both surprised and deeply grateful.

"When I realized I had won 1st place and would be representing FCU in CAPRISA, I honestly felt a mix of shock, excitement, and gratitude because I did not expect this at all. All the effort, and preparation suddenly felt worth it," he expressed.

For Victoriano, the win was a moment of gratitude and motivation.

"I was overwhelmed with joy, thanking God for the opportunity and the blessing of being able to represent FCU in CAPRISA. I just wanted to show all my effort and do my best for the school. Super thankful and motivated gid ko for thinking that I will be [carrying] the name of FCU to a bigger stage," she shared.

Behind their success was the unwavering support and mentorship of their coach, Mrs. Myrla Manua, who guided them throughout their preparation for the competition.

With their passion for music and the constant support of their coach and department, Postremo and Victoriano are now preparing to represent FCU with pride, excellence, and dedication on a larger stage.

โ€ŽWith words becoming her wings, Rendy Shane Babela of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) soared to 2nd Place in the Spoken Poetry category during the Cultural Competition held at the FCU Gym, November 7.

Under the guidance of her coach, Dr. Cheryl Rose D. Alipongan, Babela delivered a moving performance centered on this yearโ€™s theme, โ€œUtang na Loob.โ€

Her original piece reflected on the true meaning of gratitude not as a debt to be repaid, but as a memory of love, sacrifice, and kindness that must be passed forward.

Through vivid imagery and heartfelt lines, she honored the quiet strength of parents, the wisdom of teachers, and the sincerity of friends who stand by us through every struggle.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBabela shared that her preparation was filled with sacrifices, including avoiding cold beverages, ice cream, and swimming during her wellness break to protect her voice.
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œThere were nights when I felt tired and sick, but I kept reminding myself why I started,โ€ Babela said, recalling her journey toward the competition.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽWhen her name was announced as one of the winners, she described the moment as โ€œsurreal,โ€ saying that every prayer, sacrifice, and sleepless night had finally paid off.
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œThis victory is not just mineโ€”itโ€™s for everyone who believed in me, and for God who never left my side,โ€ she expressed.

Her triumph serves as an inspiration to fellow Filamerians and aspiring performers to keep pursuing their passions with faith, humility, and heartโ€”because true artistry, much like utang na loob, is born from sincerity within.

During the final interview, Miss FCUSR 2025 Ela May Durana of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) spoke about empathy, faith, and purposeful leadership as she emphasized the importance of standing with others rather than above them.

Her answer highlighted that true leadership is rooted in compassion and service, values that reflect both her Filamerian spirit and her belief in womenโ€™s strength and dignity.
