Earlier this week, the troupe was named a finalist by the IFSU International Affairs and Linkages through its official page. During the awarding ceremony, the group was officially declared the 3rd Place winner in the Cultural Dance Category B (Recorded).
The ASEAN Fusion 2025 features multiple contested events divided into two categories. Category A, to Ifugao State University, covers competitions such as essay writing, digital poster making, and recorded free speech. Meanwhile, Category B is open to participating ASEAN higher education institutions, both national and international, and includes essay writing, digital poster making, recorded free speech, and recorded cultural dance.
According to Mr. Judel B. Tabason, adviser of the Salin Lahi Pamana Dance Troupe, the inspiration behind the video was to highlight the culture of the Isnag people of Apayao, particularly the Taddo and Say-am. He explained that these traditions are significant expressions of identity that must be valued and preserved. Mr. Tabason also emphasized that through the performance, he hoped to impart to the youth the essence of unity, respect, belongingness, and the richness of Apayao’s cultural heritage.
Meanwhile, the BS Forestry contingent of Kalinga State University emerged as champion, followed by Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember of Indonesia in second place.
The feat was made possible through the support of College President Dr. John N. Cabansag, mentors Dr. Philip Constantine L. Mandac and Dr. Marfred T. Sanchez, and the creative team led by Judel B. Tabason with Mitzi Gay B. Cayde and Crismel A. Garcia.
