The Knowledge Resource Center (KRC), led by its dedicated personnel together with the officers of the Page Turners Club and under the supervision of the School Librarian Ma’am Ruth G. Silverio, spearheaded the celebration of the 91st National Book Week and 35th Library & Information Services Month on November 28, 2025, at the South Cotabato State College Gymnasium. With the theme “LACE-UP: Libraries — A Hub for Cultural Exploration and Unity Through Partnership,” the event highlighted the vital role of libraries in fostering culture, connection, and community.

Guest speaker Arvin M. Tejada, RL, emphasized the importance of reading across mental, physical, and emotional dimensions. He challenged the audience with thought-provoking questions: “When was your last read for information?” and “When was your last read for yourself?” He underscored that “reading is not just about the mind, but also about the heart that processes.”

The celebration also showcased a lineup of engaging competitions, including interpretative dance, extemporaneous speech, book spine, book face, and book character parade. These activities, participated in by different academic programs of SCSC, strengthened student engagement, promoted cultural appreciation, and empowered partnerships within the academic community.

South Cotabato State College joined the nationwide celebration of Indigenous Peoples Month and the 28th Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) Commemoration through a campus-wide event that highlighted the creativity and heritage of Indigenous communities.

Spearheaded by the 𝘒𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘨-𝘈𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘰 (KAMAGSO), together with their adviser and BS Development Communication Program Chairperson, Dr. Jaime Boy U. Ngag Jr., the celebration carried the theme “𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘌𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦: 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.”

Held on October 24, 2025, the program featured cultural performances, booth displays, and showcases that reflected the rich traditions and artistry of various Indigenous tribes in the region, namely the T'boli, Blaan, and the Teduray tribe.

Ma’am Darlyn S. Catuyan, MPA, an IP advocate and IP Champion from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), served as the guest speaker. In her message, she underscored the importance of preserving Indigenous identity and empowering the youth to become active participants in community development.

One of the most anticipated parts of the celebration was the Booth Making Competition, where the Bachelor of Technical Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTED) program emerged as the Overall Champion for the third consecutive year. BS Agriculture secured 1st Place, followed by BS Tourism Management and BS Entrepreneurship in 2nd and 3rd Places, respectively.

Through this event, SCSC reaffirmed its commitment to cultural inclusivity and appreciation, honoring the Indigenous peoples whose stories, skills, and spirit continue to enrich the fabric of the college community.
