July carries a certain rhythm with it, one that taps on rooftops, curls around corners, and makes you reach for your umbrella before stepping out. The rainy season has made its landfall, and it's that time of the year again where your clothes stay damp longer than your kilig stories. Just like a confusing situationship, it arrives unannounced, stays long, and leaves you wondering if you are prepared at all.

Fret not, however, for while you can't control the weather (or other people's feelings), you can be prepared. Here are your hugot-proof rainy season reminders.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | CAPSU Main’s Team EDURYAW Bags 1st Runner-Up, Team PARAW Secures Top 5 Spot

Two teams from Capiz State University–Main Campus made their mark at the Projeto: Ideas and Design Competition 2025, proving that innovation, creativity, and purpose go hand in hand. Held on July 20 at the Iloilo Convention Center, the competition gathered the region’s top finalists—and CapSU didn’t just participate, it stood out.

Team GA-AABB, also known as Team EDURYAW, earned the prestigious 1st Runner-Up title with their project, “A Proposed Sustainable Integrated School in Mandurriao, Iloilo City.” The team—composed of Irish Alo, Vince Ryle Andrada, Gene Cristine Bacanto, Danielle Brillo, and Keanu Renz Gonio—designed an educational space that addresses modern learning needs while promoting sustainability and community inclusion.

Meanwhile, Team Projeto Paraw secured a spot in the Top 5 Finalists with their proposal, “A Child-Centered Academic Sanctuary in Santa Rosa, Iloilo City.” Members Drich Paul Alanan, Shem Joshua Inion, Lloyd Katipunan, Vironik Iza Mahinay, and Kian Rae Nacua envisioned a nurturing and inclusive space that puts child development, creativity, and well-being at the forefront of its design.

These achievements go beyond trophies—they highlight CapSU’s rising influence in the national architecture scene. With bold ideas, purpose-driven design, and unwavering dedication, these future architects are not only building structures—they’re building lasting change.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | Leaders of Time: A Journey of Service, Sacrifice, and Success

To be an engineering and architecture student is one thing. To be a student leader at the same time? That’s an entirely different ball game.

Through their years on campus, these student leaders have once again proven that leadership isn’t just about sacrificing academics—it’s about sacrificing time, energy, and personal responsibilities for something greater.

Wearing the black toga that gracefully brushes the ground, they are reminded to stay grounded. For years, they have walked a path defined not only by course requirements but also by the relentless balancing act between leadership and academics—battling against time, expectations, and the weight of responsibility.

These student leaders did not walk across the stage just to carry their names. They walked, carrying the people they served, the dreams they helped build, and the changes they dared to make.

They walked for success. For honor.

For the generations to come who will remember—and be inspired by—what they stood and fought for.

Nelson Emmanuel Rendon of Architecture shared in a recent interview:
“Honestly, it felt really good—like a five-year-long chapter finally closed. Finishing Architecture is no joke, so I felt proud. But at the same time, there was this sadness too, knowing that my friends and I won't get to see each other every day anymore. There's also pressure—thinking about what’s next, like the DAE or apprenticeship. Some say life after graduation is even harder, and I get that now. But what helps is reminding myself to move at my own pace. We all have our own timelines, and that’s okay.”

Nelson reminds us that some leaders are not just after the title—they’re invested in what lies beyond, for a future they want to help build and stay in.

“As I walked across the stage, the feeling was surreal—like a dream I never thought would end so soon,” said Vince Divino Alinsog of Electrical Engineering.
“In that moment, I couldn't believe that four years filled with fun, hard work, and countless sleepless nights had finally come to an end. Holding my diploma, I was reminded of the memories, sacrifices, friendships, and growth that shaped my college journey. It was a moment of pride, gratitude, and quiet realization that I made it.”

Vince also reminds us about the powerful truth: that success is not just about reaching the end, but embracing everything that led you there.

College was never just about finishing a degree. It was about discovering yourself and aiming for greater heights.

In the high-pressure world of engineering, where academic rigor already stretches students to their limits, the decision to take on additional responsibilities in student leadership is often met with raised eyebrows and questions of sanity. But for Jhon Russel Aurelio, a Civil Engineering student and outgoing president of Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) – CapSU Student Chapter, it was a commitment not just to a role—but to a cause.

“You need to have a mind of steel to keep up with the demands of both roles,” he said.

Success, in this case, wasn’t built on ideal circumstances. It was built on late-night calls, missed hours of sleep, skipped hangouts with friends, and a mountain of stress managed only through sheer willpower and teamwork.

“Behind the scenes, I knew the officers had it rough. But still, we pulled through and made the event a success—something meaningful and memorable for everyone.”

Even as the spotlight shone on the program's highlights, few could see the sacrifices made behind it. And even fewer would understand the emotional toll it took.

Vince Divino Alinsog of Electrical Engineering and John Russel Aurelio of Civil Engineering along Nelson Rendon of Architecture are names etched behind the victories and progress of their respective departments—championing transformation, excellence, and meaningful leadership.

They didn’t just bring change.
They brought honor.
And they left behind a legacy.

To the next generation of student leaders, they’ve left not just footsteps to follow, but spaces to fill—with courage, compassion, and commitment.

They proved that balancing academics and leadership isn’t impossible.
It is a choice. A mission.
And above all, a service.
