To wholly embrace the Filipino tradition for Buwan ng Wika, the Junior College (JC) Lyceans of the Lyceum of the Philippines University - Davao (LPU – Davao) transformed their classrooms at the JPL Building into festive recreations during the Pista sa Nayon on September 3, 2024, bringing the festivals of each region in the Philippines to life with immersive decorations and delicacies.

With floating tuna fishes greeting the judges, STEM 11 – Fortitude welcomed their guests with General Santos City’s Tuna Festival as they served popular delicacies including tuna crackers, tuna sisig, 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪 juice, and peach mango pie, creating a balance between salty and sweet treats for the visitors.

Embodying Cebu City’s grand festive nature and blasting upbeat festival music, ABM 11 – Valor brought Sinulog Festival to LPU as native textiles and their 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘵 background complimented the overall theme of the festival, while they also wowed the judges with generous servings of Cebu’s famous lechon, 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘯, 𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘱, dried mangoes, 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘢, 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘵, and 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘨𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘢.

Giving them a taste of Bukidnon, HUMSS 11 – Loyalty walked through the history and culture of the Kaamulan Festival, further explaining the meaning of 𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘭 from Kaamulan which translates as “to gather”, emphasizing the gathering of local and national dishes such as 𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘰, hotdog, cassava cake, 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘢, 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘢, 𝘬𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢, and 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘸.

Donning in their Barong Tagalogs and displaying traditional attires, STEM 11 – Integrity presented the visitors with an informative introduction to their Bangus Festival from Dagupan City, defining the city’s most famous product. They soon cooked its famous delicacies—fried 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘴 and 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘸 along with serving well-known local dishes.

With their exquisite variety of seafood, ABM 11 – Leadership enticed the judges with their fresh seafood based on Angono, Rizal’s Higantes Festival as it consisted of their appetizer, 𝘛𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘨 with 𝘉𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘪𝘱𝘰𝘯 and their main course, a large platter of 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘰 which is a seafood Filipino version inspired from Spanish Paella. As the room was backdropped with earthy tribal fabrics, Leadership’s very own mini papier mache—a staple of the festival—was displayed among the array of delicacies.

Featuring Morion masks decorating their wall, STEM 11 – Justice showcased their version of Marinduque’s Moriones Festival, retelling the story of Saint Longinus, from which the festival is inspired. In true lively spirit, they invited guests to dine on various foods, notably leche flan, 𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘢, chicken, 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘯, 𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘬𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢, and pork barbecue.

As for the Grade 12 sections, STEM 12 – Innovation adorned their room with lively colors inspired by Tacurong City’s Talakudong Festival with their 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘵 hats surrounding the venue. Outfitting in T’boli traditional clothes, representatives of the section carefully introduced local dishes with 𝘛𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘬 as their appetizer, 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘸 and Vegetable Lumpia as their main course, Durian Jam and Steamed Kamote as their desserts, and Chicken Pastil as their main delicacy.

Stepping into the vibrant room of flowers, judges and guests were received by the STEM 12 – Efficiency as they passed through blooms of different colors and sizes in the pink room of Baguio City’s Panagbenga Festival. Their menu featured a vegetable salad as the appetizer, kiniing as the main course, strawberry 𝘵𝘢𝘩𝘰 for dessert, and peanut brittle with chocolate for the delicacy, encapsulating the festival’s title as the “Season of Blooming” with both their floral décor and appetizing meal.

Draped in rich fabrics of red and white, STEM 12 – Creativity rejuvenated in their Ati-Atihan Festival from Kalibo, Aklan. As one of their representatives received the judges in her dashing red gown, students meticulously recounted the selection and ingredients of their local foods encompassing 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘴, 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘸, 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘸, and 𝘣𝘪𝘬𝘰 𝘯𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘬.

“Magandang hapon po!” Lively cheers greeted the judges as they entered ABM 12 – Dependability’s Kadayawan festivity. Drawing from Davao City’s rich culture, the ABM students integrated each course of the menu—dynamite, 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘬, 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘬, 𝘣𝘪𝘬𝘰, 𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘯-𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘯, mangosteen, and lanzones—into the city’s abundant history, culminating in the cutting of the pork belly, which they shared with their guests. They ended their presentation with an energetic, “Madayaw Davao!”

Representing the City of Smiles, HUMSS 12 – Inclusivity incorporated Bacolod City’s hospitable spirit as they ushered the judges to their table and began a slide presentation that detailed the Masskara Festival. While the presentation was ongoing, the judges were served a city-inspired feast, featuring Chicken Inasal, 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘸, Buko Pandan, and Biscocho, with each dish described to them one by one.

Recognizing the winners of the Pista sa Nayon Grade 11 category, STEM 11 – Integrity took second runner-up, STEM 11 – Justice placed first runner-up, and ABM 11 – Valor secured the champion spot. Meanwhile, in Grade 12, HUMSS 12 – Inclusivity ranked as second runner-up, STEM 12 – Efficiency achieved first runner-up, and ABM 12 – Dependability won another championship for the Buwan ng Wika, shortly after receiving the same award for the Festival Dance category.

As the Pista sa Nayon officially concluded, this event undoubtedly brought the Filipino essence of joy and unity as Lyceans engaged and celebrated in its festivities. Along with many other events in Buwan ng Wika, LPU-Davao successfully highlighted the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines, fostering a deeper appreciation for the nation’s traditions among the JC community and truly committing to the theme, “Filipino: Wikang Mapagpalaya”.

As the highly anticipated 39th Kadayawan Festival 2024 finally graced the people of Davao City with its presence, the city continues to be filled to the brim with excitement, as the celebration cued the spotlight for the 11 tribes of Mindanao who had gathered to showcase their culture through the festival’s many events, reminding people of the indigenous tribes that stand as the pillars of beauty in Mindanao.

The Kadayawan Festival is celebrated in Magsaysay Park every third week of August to highlight the culture-rich history of the 11 ethnolinguistic communities that make up Mindanao through friendly competition and unified celebration. Ethnic music and dances are demonstrated by the tribes to instill the stories that make their identity, built up by their heritage and their people—this way, their identities are further rooted in the region’s culture and continue to be celebrated for even more years to come.

The third week of August may soon be ending, but that does not mean the celebrations are over! From August 16-18, the Kadayawan Weekend is still set to host the “Indak Indak sa Kadayawan” and the “Hiyas sa Kadayawan 2024,” which is set to be hosted today! With celebrations still on their way, there is no better time to see Mindanao’s culture for yourself. The land of Mindanao remains full of promise as Davao City continues to put value in the cultures and history of its indigenous tribes—knowing this, it is clear that within the Filipinos and tribes that make up the region, respect and dignity for cultural heritage still stand.

Embracing the new academic year together, Lyceans from all departments came together at LPUnite: Navita Piratas 2024 as they kickstart their first day at Lyceum of the Philippines University - Davao (LPU-Davao) on August 5, 2024. Spearheaded by the College Supreme Student Council (CSSC), this whole-day event aimed to foster unity and meaningful connections between the students as they set sail for a new journey at LPU-Davao.

Before commencing the awaited event, the first flag-raising ceremony was held at the LPU-Davao Courtyard. Organized and hosted by the Junior College Supreme Student Council (JCSSC), the morning started as a welcome to the Lyceans with words of reflection and invigorating morning exercises.

Donning uniform red and maroon attire, the students moved to the Laurelian Field as they waited for the event to officially start. Dr. Jayson M. Barlan, the Chief Operations Officer and Vice President for Institutional Affairs of LPU Davao, began the event with his opening remarks.

Dr. Barlan mentioned LPU-Davao’s goal to encourage and enhance Lyceans’ lifestyle in his remarks, and through LPUnite, this provides a platform for students to wholly explore possibilities and engage with each other, giving them a glimpse of the innovative and dynamic lifestyle and facilities the school is offering them. “…because LPU - Davao will give you all of these experiences, all in one. Because here in LPU-Davao, we learn different, we live different,” he emphasized.

Soon after, the LPU Davao Dance Company stole the spotlight with a powerful performance, hyping the crowd with lively beats in their eye-catching pink outfits before smoothly inviting the freshmen for the most anticipated Freshies Cheers and Yells. Gracing their presence on the field, freshmen from each college department highlighted their collaborative spirit as they delivered witty and empowering chants, emphasizing the strengths of each of their departments.

Calming down from the grand festivities, freshmen were led to a campus tour per department, exploring the facilities offered by the school while the candidates for Mr. and Ms. LPUnite: Navita Piratas prepared for their stage for the upcoming Grand Production.

As the various activities carried on, the Club Fair opened its doors to Lyceans as each club promoted and enticed its visitors with immersive activities that encapsulated the essence of their respective organizations. Games such as K-Pop Random Dance Challenge, “Guess the Next Song Lyrics,” and even sports like Kendo have garnered the attention of many Lyceans and enriched them to further engage with the variety of clubs and organizations in the school.

Furthermore in the event, the search for Mr. and Ms. LPUnite: Navita Piratas 2024 commenced. Freshman candidates from each department strutted the stage with confidence and grace, representing their respective departments with pride.

Each contestant was tested for their intelligence, charm, and poise through a battle of wits where they answered a question by incorporating it with a randomly picked movie line and through intellectual discourse, while they also impressed the crowd with their various individual talents, such as singing and dancing.

Ultimately, Mr. Vincent John Madrid of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and Ms. Karylle Jhean Calvo from the College of Accountancy and Business Management (CABM) were crowned the Mr. and Ms. LPUnite: Navita Piratas 2024, proving to uphold the Lycean spirit and proudly shared their victory with their departments. Additionally, the winners for the Freshies Cheers and Yells were announced as the Junior College (JC) won champion, CAS clinched first runner-up, and the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management (CITHM) secured second runner-up.

Winners of the Booth Design Contest during the Club Fair were also declared as the Association of Forensic Science was hailed champions, LPU - Davao Martial Arts Club was first runner-up, and the CAS Local Council was second runner-up.

As LPUnite was nearing its end, Dr. Kenny James Merin, the Vice President for Academic Affairs of LPU-Davao, shared in his closing remarks about appreciating the efforts of the students in organizing this fruitful first day and welcoming the freshmen students to a year of new experiences with LPU-Davao.

However, LPUnite continued as the Lyceans enjoyed a night of acquaintances and fun, partying and vibing to the mini concert after a day filled with numerous events. Performers who featured in the concert were Ms. Louise Decal from the College of Health Sciences (CHS), Ms. Roxanne Tiongson (CAS), Mr. Kurt Revin Urdaneta (CABM), Ms. Denzel Plaza (CITHM), and Ms. Kristine George (CHS), who delivered a fantastic show of music and rhythm as LPUnite: Navita Piratas 2024 ended with a memorable mark.

Commencing the academic year with a resounding start, this event was not only a day to welcome Lyceans back into their student lives, but it was an avenue to bring the community together and foster significant bonds and camaraderie with each other. Through this unique way of starting the school year, LPUnite: Navita Piratas truly embodied the Lycean essence to “learn different, live different.”
