Thatโ€™s a wrap on the SUGAT 2026 Club Fair, and what a day it was! We are filled with gratitude for the overwhelming support we received at the LAPSDU Fun Booth. ๐ŸŽˆ

We especially want to extend a warm and sincere welcome to all the freshmen who took the time to drop by. We know that starting a new chapter can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, but please know that you have found a home here. Thank you for choosing to engage with us and for letting us be a part of your first big campus experience.

We cannot wait to see all the great things you will achieve here! โ€‹A huge thank you to everyone who visited, played our games, and shared a moment with us. You made this event truly unforgettable. Until we see you all again!

Message from the Newly Elected President, Luke Buhisan

We are filled with joy and gratitude as you all celebrate not only your achievements but also the journey that brought you here as Paulinians. There were moments of doubt, struggle, and uncertainty, but through it all, you were guided, strengthened, and sustained by Godโ€™s grace.

This is not just the end of a journey, but the beginning of a new one. You have spent years learning, growing, and overcoming challenges that once seemed impossible. Each late night, every sacrifice, and all the hard work have led you to this very moment.

As you step forward, we hope that you may pursue your dreams with courage, face uncertainty with resilience, and make a marked difference.

We are very proud of all of you. Congratulations, Graduates of Class 2026.

โ€” Luke Franches G. Buhisan
Newly Elected President

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญโš–๏ธ Moments to Remember | SONA 2026

Captured in these photos are the meaningful highlights of our photo opportunity with our esteemed guest speaker and each Political Science year levelโ€”symbols of unity, inspiration, and shared commitment to public service.

It was truly an honor to gather every batch alongside our speaker, commemorating a session that encouraged us to move from classroom learning to nation-building action.

The event also concluded with the distribution of Certificates of Participation, personally awarded by the LAPSDU President to all students who attended and took part in the assembly. This simple gesture reflects our appreciation for your presence, engagement, and dedication throughout the session.

Indeed, every smile in these photos represents a future leader ready to serve. And with gratitude and pride, we close this chapter of SONA 2026โ€”carrying forward the lessons and inspiration we gained together. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญโœจ

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญโš–๏ธ In Session for the Nation | SONA 2026

Sharing more glimpses from an afternoon filled with insight, expression, and true democratic engagement.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Sir Nescile Jake for delivering the warm and inspiring welcome remarks that set the tone for the entire assembly. Your words reminded us of the responsibility and potential we hold as future public servants.

To our Political Science students, commendations for actively participating, voicing out your perspectives, and embodying the essence of democratic dialogue. The way you engaged, expressed your standpoints, and respected diverse opinions truly reflects the kind of leaders you are becoming.

Indeed, SONA 2026 was not just an eventโ€”it was democracy in action within our academic community. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญโœจ
