π΅π¬πΎπΊ | Where Passion Finds Its Rhythm: CEA Comes Alive in One Beat
The College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) was filled with music, laughter, and excitement as students came together for a day that was more than just a general assembly.
On August 19, 2026, the College of Engineering and Architecture Student Council (CEASC) held its General Assembly at the ISAT U Multipurpose Gymnasium, bringing students from different departments together under the theme βUnited by Rhythm, Driven by Passion.β
The morning started with registration and the formal preliminaries. Dr. Evan G. Daza, Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture, delivered the opening remarks, encouraging students to work together and make the most of the academic year ahead.
The assembly then focused on student leadership and the accomplishments of the previous council. The incoming 2026β2027 CEASC officers and advisers were introduced, officially welcoming a new group of student leaders.
Patrick Eljin Somosierra, former Vice Governor of the CEASC, and Sean Cedric Andong, current Governor of the CEASC, presented the accomplishment and transparency reports for the 2025β2026 term. Their reports highlighted the programs, activities, and initiatives carried out by the council while emphasizing the importance of accountability in student leadership.
The council also presented its plans for the new academic year, including the calendar of activities and operational overview. A PTA presentation by ISAT U CCPTA Inc. President Mr. Edgar Salazar was also part of the morning program.
One of the highlights of the morning was the launch of the official CEA shirt. Students eagerly welcomed the new shirt, which represented more than college prideβit also served as a symbol of belonging to the CEA community.
When afternoon came, the mood inside the gym changed. The formal discussions gave way to games, laughter, cheers, and friendly competition as students participated in team-building activities. Different departments worked together, showing that the assembly was not only about leadership and announcements but also about building friendships and strengthening their connection with one another.
For a while, there were no separate departmentsβjust students cheering for their teammates, laughing with their friends, and enjoying the moment.
The energy continued with a lively performance from a live band, giving everyone a chance to relax and enjoy the celebration. The event later moved into the awarding ceremony, recognizing participants and contributors before Beverly Joy Diapana, Vice Governor of the CEASC, delivered the closing remarks.
As the day came to an end, the General Assembly left behind more than reports, plans, and activities. It gave students a chance to see the CEA community beyond classrooms, projects, and deadlines.
Every department may have its own identity and every student may carry a different passion, but the assembly showed that these differences can come together to create one strong community.
Like a song made up of different instruments, CEA has its own rhythms and voices. And on August 19, those voices came together in one beat.
United by rhythm and driven by passion, CEA begins another academic year not simply as different departments, but as one community moving forward together.
