In celebration of Carmenโ€™s upcoming annual fiesta, the night will be filled with rhythm and nostalgia as CebuTech Carmen hosts its CTU-Nite on August 22, 2024, at the Carmen Gymnasium. This yearโ€™s theme, โ€œPasundayag sa Kagahapon ug Karon: Evolution of Dances,โ€ captures the essence of dynamic dance from the past and its transformation into vibrant present styles.

One of the eventโ€™s highlights was the captivating dance number featuring campus organizations, teaching personnel, and non-teaching personnel. This performance took the audience on a journey through time, celebrating the evolution of dance from the 1960s to the present, with each decade represented by its iconic dance styles.

The 1960s segment, performed by Supreme Student Government (SSG) Officers, featured the energetic moves of rock and roll dance and the free-spirited vibes of that era. As the Future Science and Technology Leaders of the Philippines (FSTLP) and Sipnayan ฯ€rates Officersโ€™ collaboration transitioned into the 1970s, the audience was treated to a disco fever with glittering and glowing costumes that lit up the stage. The 1980s brought a wave of nostalgia as they showcased iconic dance styles from the era, including vibrant breakdancing and energetic pop-locking moves. In comparison, the 1990s highlighted the birth of hip-hop and street dance culture.

Sinamayan Dance Troupe performed breathtaking dances displaying how traditional and contemporary dances intersect. Their performance lit up the stage with a dynamic blend of historical grace and modern energy.

Complementing the dance performance was a captivating song number by Mr. Reggie Juntilla and Mr. Arvin Busano, echoing the theme of evolution. The CMCโ€™s Chorale added another layer of depth with their versatile repertoire, bridging classical and modern influences in a stunning display of vocal artistry.

Meanwhile, international stars Shakira, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift mesmerized the audience with their high-energy acts, each bringing their unique style and flair to the stage. These international icons were proudly represented by students from CebuTech Carmen, who had previously earned the top 3 rankings on the previous show โ€œYour Face Sounds Familiar.โ€

CTU-Nite 2024 was a resounding success, bridging generations over the decades. The event masterfully intertwined the nostalgia of the past with the excitement of the present, creating a vibrant celebration of both history and innovation. For the first time, CTU-Nite showcased a variety of artistic talents, adding a new dimension to the event. This contrasted with the previous CTU-Niteโ€™s focus on Ginoong Carmen, highlighting a more traditional and formal presentation.

The night concluded with a dance performance featuring an all-star cast. .Simbajon

On July 30, 2024, Mr. Sarchlo Martinez made history as the first Summa Cum Laude of CebuTech Carmen Campus from the Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering Department, marking a significant milestone for Batch 2024. In a poignant speech before his fellow graduates, faculty, and staff, Mr. Martinez expressed his heartfelt gratitude:

"Each lesson imparted, every challenge faced, and all the encouragement received have contributed to our growth and success," he stated.

Reflecting on his journey, Mr. Martinez conveyed his deep pride and appreciation for his achievements. He shared that achieving Summa Cum Laude was a deliberate goal he had pursued from the start. "Set your sights on the top so that if you can't reach it, you can still find yourself in the second place," he advised.

Mr. Martinez's success underscores CTU Carmen's commitment to excellence and serves as an inspiration for students to aspire to their highest potential. While graduating and passing all your courses is a notable achievement in itself, he encouraged students to set ambitious goals and strive for continuous improvement, both for themselves and for the institution that nurtured their academic growth.

Alexandra Gayle Pasaje, the outgoing Literary and Feature Editor, recounted her journey: "Being part of this organization has been a privilege for me because ever since high school, I've yearned to be part of the school publication, and here, natinuod jud siya. I'm also very thankful to our adviser, Ma'am Jihan, kay daghan kaykog na learn niya; it really widened my perspective, especially in developing my writing style," Pasaje shared. She concluded her speech by wishing her juniors good luck in their future endeavors in literary and feature writing.

The new editorial board and staff took part in an oath-taking ceremony, which was administered by Mrs. Fatima Norliza R. Pantonial, the Chairman of Campus Student Organizations. With hands raised, they solemnly pledged to uphold the values of integrity, accuracy, and fairness as student journalists.

The program ended with the presentation of certificates. The turnover ceremony signified not only the formal transfer of duties but also served as a celebration of the journalism values and the ongoing continuity of the organization's mission.

HAPPY FATHERโ€™S DAY, SUPERDADS!

Heroes are fictional characters that assumingly exist in TV series and movies to help make the world a better place and to protect the people in it.

In everyone's home and everyone's world, the real hero does not wear a cape or fancy suit. That hero may be exhausted, have sore muscles, or have tired eyes. Oftentimes, the burden of a father that he has to carry daily is overlooked and ignored. In every manโ€™s ego and pride, he is the pillar and the home. He should stand still.

Today, we celebrate every father. Every third week of June is a reminder that every fatherโ€™s hustle, efforts, sacrifices, and love for his family are celebrated.

Fathers, you are seen, you are appreciated, and you are our hero. It is your day! Loosen up and enjoy! .Pasaje

Maritime dons the shoulder board, sets readiness to sail

The Layag Marino Society commemorated the donning of the shoulder board ceremony on this day, June 14, 2024, with the theme "Setting Sail for Future Innovation and Excellence."

The marching of the sword opens the ceremony, followed with the entrance of the colors and the faculties and instructors of the College of Maritime Sciences. Dr. Emardy Barbecho is the master of ceremony.

"The donning of the shoulder board shows the readiness of the students to embark as marine engineers," said Dr. Anna Marie C. Neiz, Dean of Instruction.

The Vice President of Administration and Finance, Jerlito A. Letrondo, JD, highlighted the essence of excellence in everything to be done to achieve excellent work.

Engr. Siem Mayol introduced visitors from different agencies and maritime training centers, allowing the students to get acquainted with the person they may contact in the future.

Engr. Teofilo D. Antolijao gladly introduced the guest speaker, Chief Engineer Joerich Moreno, from TSAKOS Maritime Philippines, Inc. He shared how he managed to chase his dreams despite the many trials and rejections he encountered in his life. C/E Moreno is a proud product of CTU-Carmen in the year 2000.

"If others can do it, then I can also do it, and I know you can also do it because we have the same 24 hours a day," emphasized C/E Moreno.

A beautiful reminder that C/E Moreno shared is to always ask guidance from the Almighty, avoid maรฑana habit, and practice "pakikisama" on board or with your co-workers.

Afterward, the donning of the shoulder board took place as each Marine Engineering student and their parents marched to the stage.

Awards and certificates are given to those who excelled and have been diligent in the organization they have been serving. The awards are a symbol of dedication and perseverance in the service, showing that one can still do well in academics as well as actively engage in other activities on campus.

The Centaurus Batch of 2024 colored the ceremony with their song entitled 'Next in Line' and performed their dance with 'Best Day of My Life'.

The ceremony concluded with everyone singing the CTU Hymn. .Selle
