Corpuz, a second-year Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE) major in English, and De Jesus, a second-year BSE major in Science, represented CTEd by wearing a traditional attire of Brunei Darussalam in the search, which brought together representatives from the campus colleges in a celebration of the diverse cultures, traditions, and identities of the ASEAN member states.
Anchored on the theme, โBridging Cultures, Building Connections: Celebrating the ASEAN Spirit,โ the activity served as the culminating event of the campusโ month-long ASEAN celebration, highlighting the importance of cultural appreciation, unity, cooperation, and regional solidarity.
In her welcome remarks, Prof. Shella B. Cacatian, Ph.D., emphasized that the spirit of ASEAN should extend beyond a month-long celebration, stressing that its values are continuously reflected in the campus community through cooperation, respect, and meaningful cultural exchange.
Adding energy to the celebration, selected CTEd students showcasing their talent and enthusiasm in the opening salvo for the culminating activity. This was followed by an inspirational message from Campus Executive Officer Prof. Rodel Francisco T. Alegado, Ph.D.
CEO Alegado underscored the importance of cooperation and unity in moving the community forward, emphasizing that meaningful progress cannot be achieved through individual efforts alone but through collective action and shared commitment.
The program also featured the awarding of certificates to the winners of various competitions organized by the Kapisanan ng mga Mag-aaral sa Filipino (KamFil), recognizing students who demonstrated creativity, talent, and active participation in the celebration of Buwan ng Wika 2026.
Meanwhile, candidates for the upcoming Campus Intramurals and Culture and Arts Festival 2026 were formally sashed and presented during the activity, further building excitement for the campusโ forthcoming celebrations. Representing the College of Teacher Education (CTEd) are Mr. Aaron John Rasalan, Mr. Godfrey Penn Reyes, Ms. KC Ventura, and Ms. Marie Claire Costales, who will carry the collegeโs pride and aspirations as they take part in the much-anticipated campus-wide festivities.
The crowning of Corpuz and De Jesus marked a triumphant conclusion to the campusโ ASEAN celebration, underscoring the studentsโ active role in promoting cultural appreciation, friendship, unity, and cooperation among ASEAN communities.
The CTEd victory was further strengthened by the unwavering support and guidance of its dedicated faculty members, led by College Dean Dr. Verlino D. Baddu, Ph.D. His steadfast leadership and commitment to student development continue to inspire CTEd learners to pursue excellence, embrace opportunities, and represent the college with pride and distinction.
