Our very first official event as BAEL 1-A was nothing short of magical. Dressed in vintage glam, we embraced elegance and sophistication, leaving a lasting impression on everyone. Many of us joined the dance competition, while others contributed to props and logistics. It wasn’t just an event—it was a celebration of unity. The highlight? A night of stunning performances, meaningful collaboration with the entire CAS Department, and a dazzling display of fireworks.

Hey everyone, I'm Shemaiah and definitely not Shemiah. I'm the youngest of my siblings, raised in a loving Christian home. My energy's a bit unpredictable—I can be super energetic, then completely drained in a flash. Truthfully, I'm pretty average at most things, but I'm always learning and growing. I might look like a tough girl, but I'm a total softie at heart. And yes, I love pink!

Our second big event brought out our competitive spirit. During Intramurals, we joined forces with the Engineering students to form the "Valiant Warriors." We took home victories in the Yell Competition and Dance Palabas. Beyond performances, our classmates shone in other areas: Hannah Tabuelog and Rhea Jynes Tejares represented us in Radio Broadcasting, securing first place. In sports, Ashley Jore won gold in Taekwondo, Shanenne Phearl Moniva bagged silver, and Marielle Lyza Duron gave her all in badminton. It was a week that revealed our strength, teamwork, and unbreakable school spirit.

The Sinulog Festival became one of the most heartfelt highlights of our journey. It was more than just a competition—it was both a cultural celebration and a spiritual experience. The selected dancers from our section dedicated countless hours to practice, sacrificing rest and juggling academic responsibilities to perfect every move. On stage, dressed in traditional attire, they danced with passion—not just for the prize, but as an expression of faith. Those who couldn't join the dance supported by helping with props and preparations. The rhythm of the drums echoed our unity, reminding us why we danced—not for ourselves, but in devotion to something greater. With every step and turn, and every shout of "Pit Señor!", they carried the pride of our class, our school, and our heritage. Whether we won or not, the experience left us proud, grateful, and stronger as a team.

CAStravaganza wasn’t just another event—it was a celebration of creativity and culture across the entire department. Each section brought their best to honor this year’s theme: giving homage to Bisaya culture through artistic motion. For BAEL 1-A, it became a chance to show who we are, where we come from, and what we’re capable of when we unite as one. Our entry, Silakbo, was more than a performance—it was a heartfelt tribute to the Bisaya spirit. From scriptwriting to set design, we poured our respect for our heritage into every detail. The film reflected our collective love for our language, traditions, and stories passed down through generations. Despite being newcomers, we stood out—and brought home not one, but six major awards. It was a moment of pride not just for the recognition, but for how we honored our culture through passion and teamwork.

In the LTS event, BAEL 1-A proudly rose to the spotlight as we cheered on our representative, Miss Glaiza Andrade, in the much-awaited Miss Transhionshow. Although it was her very first time joining a pageant, Glaiza walked the runway with confidence, charm, and authenticity. She stunned the audience with her creative recycled outfit, quick wit, and genuine smile—qualities that captured both hearts and the crown. Her victory was a triumphant moment not just for her, but for the entire class. Behind her success was a team effort that truly embodied the spirit of 1-A. From conceptualizing her costume to coaching her walk and helping her prepare for the Q&A portion, every member contributed their time, talent, and full support. Our classroom became a training ground, a design studio, and a rehearsal space all at once. In the end, Glaiza stood on stage not only as a queen but as a symbol of unity, creativity, and determination. Her win reminded us that when we work as one, we don't just participate—we leave a mark.

Webinar Hosting – A New Learning Experience

# data[].attributes.body
Under the expert guidance of Doc. Rowanne Mangompit, BAEL 1-A was given the opportunity to step outside the traditional classroom and into a leadership role by hosting an academic webinar. Unlike any typical assignment, this event required us to collaborate on real tasks—documentation, write-ups, technical assistance, and certificate design. Each role came with its own responsibilities, and for many of us, it was our first time engaging in such formal and detailed coordination. This experience pushed us beyond our comfort zones and opened our eyes to the importance of planning, teamwork, and clear communication. We weren’t just participants—we were organizers, leaders, and contributors to a learning platform that reached fellow students and educators. It made us more confident in public-facing tasks and gave us a glimpse of how professional events are handled. In the end, we didn’t just complete a task—we gained skills, experience, and pride in something truly meaningful.

We concluded our school year with a bang in the Pathfit Finals, where BAEL 1-A brought home first place in both the Contemporary and Zumba categories. These weren’t just performances—they were energetic displays of creativity, discipline, and joy. We practiced under the sun, balanced rehearsals with assignments, and pushed ourselves physically and mentally, all for that brief moment on stage when we could give it our all. The cheers, the music, and the unity we felt were irreplaceable. But more than the medals, what made this moment special was the way it brought us together. The Pathfit Finals gave us a break from academic stress and allowed us to express ourselves through motion, rhythm, and team spirit. It reminded us of the beauty of balance—between mind and body, between work and play. As we celebrated our win, we also celebrated the journey we took to get there. It was a perfect close to a year filled with growth, laughter, and unforgettable milestones.

BAEL 1-A is more than just a class. We’re a story still unfolding—one full of resilience, laughter, late-night practice, unexpected victories, and unforgettable memories. We came into this school year unsure of what to expect, and now we leave it with stronger bonds, bolder dreams, and brighter spirits.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the months, we faced challenges that tested our patience and moments that tested our courage. But every hurdle only brought us closer, every experience became a lesson, and every success—no matter how big or small—became a shared celebration. We learned that success isn't just measured by trophies or recognition, but by the love we poured into every effort, and the friendships we built along the way. We didn’t just grow academically—we grew as individuals and as a team. From performing on stage to managing events, from academic grind to spontaneous fun, we discovered what it means to support each other. We discovered the power of unity, and more importantly, the value of kindness, empathy, and inclusion.
