๐ฆ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ก ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: UNIVERSITY GAMES & CULTURE AND THE ARTS FESTIVAL 2026! ๐๐จโจ
For an entire week, more than fifty student journalists from Sumilang Publications devoted their time, energy, and unwavering commitment to the extensive coverage of the annual University Games and Culture and the Arts Festival, immersing themselves in the demanding yet meaningful responsibility of documenting one of the universityโs most anticipated events.

As articulated in the Editorial Boardโs statement dated May 10, the undertaking was pursued despite the evidently limited institutional support customarily extended to non-academic media organizations before university-wide events of this magnitude.
The athletes and performers who carried the name, pride, and identity of the campus throughout the duration of the festivities are students in their own rightโindividuals whose sacrifices and labor equally merit recognition. It was with this deeply rooted understanding that the publicationโs members traversed the unfamiliar halls of Cavite State University โ Don Severino de las Alas Campus, with a profound conviction that journalism remains fundamentally inseparable from genuine service to the student body.
However, while the publication takes immense pride in having fulfilled its responsibility despite the circumstances, ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฒ๐

Student journalists serve as indispensable stewards of the universityโs collective memory, ensuring that the stories of its students are preserved and given the recognition they deserve. It is with equal hope that the significance of our role in these events may eventually be acknowledgedโnot solely as observers on the sidelines, but as partners in amplifying the spirit and achievements of the institution and its student body.
Throughout the entirety of the coverage, the publication endeavored to offer its fullest support to the games and competitions participated in by the delegates. Yet amid the exhaustion, it became increasingly apparent that the support extended toward the journalists themselves was equally immense. Student-athletes, performers, and faculty members continuously demonstrated generosity by offering meals, assisting with transportation, and looking after the welfare of the coverage team even in the midst of their own physically and emotionally taxing responsibilities.
The greatest way by which the publication may reciprocate such kindness is through the faithful preservation of these stories: to ensure that every memory forged during this yearโs University Games & Culture and the Arts Festival continues to live beyond the confines of the event itself.
Sumilang Publications extends its sincerest and most profound gratitude to the student-athletes of Silang Flaming Phoenix, the delegates of CvSUโSilang Campus for the Culture and the Arts Festival (CAF), the officers of CvSU Silang Athletes Association (CSAA), the Multimedia Artist Guild (MMAG), students, and faculty members, for the immeasurable support and generosity extended to the publication throughout the week-long coverage.
Hereโs to many more stories waiting to be told and victories waiting to be celebrated in the years ahead!
