In celebration of COSCAโs annual acquaintance party, the college students of Colegio de Santa Catalina de Alejandria gathered at Lamberto Macias Sports and Cultural Center for a night of music, fashion, and friendshipโ Paghigala-ay 2024!
Prior to the program proper, then-incumbent officers of the Catalinan Supreme Student Government (CSSG) turned over a symbolic โkey of responsibilityโ to the CSSG officers-elect. A ceremonial candle lighting was conducted. The respective heads and advisors of the Catalinan Supreme Student Government and the Catalinan Department Student Governments participated in the ritual, igniting candles as a symbolic representation of their role in mentoring the student body. Afterwards, Rev. Fr. Nathaniel โBoyโ Gomez, the school president, officially inducted the officers into their duties as the student leaders of A.Y 2024-2025. Later, the COSCA Cardinals were acknowledged for representing the school at the PRISAA and for bringing home a generous collection of medals. Each athlete received a certificate of recognition as the school hymn was sung in celebration of their victories.
Cheers then filled the complex as the COSCA Dance Society opened for the program and the Catalinans were officially welcomed to Paghigala-ay 2024. This was followed by a variety of performances from the College of Allied Health Sciences, College of Criminal Justice Education, College of Liberal Arts- Education, and the College of Business Education. In between the singing and dancing; teachers, staff, and students got to compete in multiple games, including Family Feud, Lip Synch Battle, and the Grand Rampage. Just as fun overwhelmed the crowd, Fr. โBoyโ delivered an inspiring speech before he invited everyone to join him in karaoke to the song โGreatest Love of Allโ. The winners of the various games were then announced before the event ultimately culminated with a disco party.
