The Students’ Activity Center buzzed with energy as students gathered for Culture and Arts auditions for Music and Dance.This wasn’t just about performing, rather it was about belonging. The space transformed into a welcoming stage where talent met opportunity, and where every beat, note, and step told a story waiting to be heard. At the heart of it all was Madame Marivic Quiambao- Pascual, known not only for her expertise but for her passion in cultivating creativity on campus. Her creativity gave performers a sense of calm, even as they faced the daunting task of showing what they could do. The audition filled with sincerity, listening beyond the surface to see potential in every effort. The process wasn’t about perfection but it was about expression, willingness, and growth. Each performance brought something unique. Some dancers moved with polished precision, while others brought raw energy and spirit. Singers filled the room with both practiced melodies and brave, unsteady notes. What mattered most was the courage to step forward. For many, this was their first time sharing a part of themselves that had long remained hidden. Yet the atmosphere made it easier to take that leap, supported by a community of fellow dreamers. Through the time the auditions ended, the Students’ Activity Center had become more than just a venue. It had served as a stage for courage, community, and creative discovery. The Culture and Arts program proved once again that music and dance are not just performances, they are languages of the soul, open to anyone bold enough to speak. By Jeric Cahiles
