Celebrating culture, community, and tradition — one plate at a time! 🍽️🌿✨

The Philippine Home Technologists (PHT) Organization of the Bachelor of Science in Home Technology (BSHT) proudly took part in Paghinugyaw 2026 – the 51st Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross at Aklan State University.

As part of the celebration, the PHT officers and members took responsibility for the preparation and cooking of the assigned food products of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Environmental Sciences (CAFES) for display and free distribution to visitors, faculty members, administrative staff, and students of the University.

Through teamwork, dedication, and a spirit of service, our students showcased their skills in food preparation, culinary practices, hospitality, and community engagement. Every dish prepared and served became a meaningful contribution to the celebration.

Adding to the festive spirit, BSHT students actively participated in the afternoon activities through the traditional Laro ng Lahi, demonstrating camaraderie, sportsmanship, teamwork, and appreciation for Filipino culture and heritage.

More than just preparing food and participating in games, our students shared their time, talents, skills, and enthusiasm in making Paghinugyaw 2026 a memorable celebration for the university community.

Paghinugyaw reminds us that culture comes alive when we celebrate it together through food, fellowship, tradition, and service. 🩷🖤🤍

📍 HT Function Hall | September 2, 2026 | ⏰ 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM

What a wonderful and productive afternoon as we officially gathered for our very first FT & HT General Assembly! 🌟 It was a meaningful way to kick off the new academic year—coming together as one community, reconnecting with fellow students, and setting the tone for the lessons, activities, and memories we’ll create along the way.

The program began with warm and inspiring welcome remarks delivered by 𝗠𝗿. 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼 𝗔. 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗜𝗜𝗜, MSc (Chair, BSFT Program), setting a positive and encouraging atmosphere for everyone.

An introduction of the faculty and staff was presented by 𝗗𝗿. 𝗘𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗗. 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗼 (Chair, BSHT Program). Following the declaration of quorum by the secretaries of PAFT and PHT, the assembly agenda was presented by PAFT President, Ms. Angel Acibar.

𝗠𝘀. 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝘆𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗘. 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝘇𝗮, RCh, then guided us through a detailed overview of the courses designed for both FT and HT curricula, helping us gain a clearer understanding of the skills we’ll master and the milestones we’ll reach. Following this, 𝗠𝘀. 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗰𝗲𝗹 𝗥. 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀 MAED-HE, took the stage to present the prescribed uniform, laboratory attire, and grooming standards for every Home Technology and Food Technology student—emphasizing that wearing the prescribed uniform reflects professionalism, discipline, cleanliness, proper grooming, and pride in our programs. Since both courses involve laboratory work and future careers in food- and hospitality-related industries, proper attire is essential for safety, hygiene, and professional readiness.

Additionally, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗥. 𝗣𝗮𝗷𝗼 RND, MAHE, presented the Academic Policies to give students a clear understanding of the academic standards, grading system, attendance requirements, and guidelines set by the department.

Most importantly, we extended a warm and enthusiastic welcome to our newly elected 𝗣𝗔𝗙𝗧 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗛𝗧 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀, who are excited to lead, serve, and stand alongside us as we make this school year meaningful, organized, and full of growth.

This assembly was more than just a meeting—it was the start of our journey together: learning with purpose, collaborating with heart, supporting one another, and making this our most unforgettable chapter yet!
