"𝘈𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵𝘰'𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘴𝘢'𝘺𝘰." Serving with a theatrical performance, juniors from the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English (3-A) class performed an on-the-spot acting performance together with their adviser, Prof. Esperval Cezhar Cadiao, in connection with the Teacher's Day celebration. Retsel Legaspi, the one who initiated the plan, led the class to showcase the typical Filipino way of celebrating Teacher's Day, where Filipino students surprise their teachers by pretending that there’s a fight in the classroom, prompting the teacher to rush in, only to be met with a surprise and to sing the heartfelt rendition of "Salamat" by Yeng Constantino. As of today, the video has garnered significant attention online, with their class page post receiving 56.4K views, as well as more than 1K reactions and likes, with 321 shares.
