XI - Unified

October 26, 2015 was the beginning of a new and enjoyable week for the SoM (School of Management) students. Prior to the event, SoM was originally called SoAB (School of Accountancy and Business). To celebrate the re-birth of a new school, events and festivities were held for a whole new week for the students to take a break and enjoy.

On that very day, the students gathered around the parking lot in front of the school to start the event with a parade at around 9:30 AM. The route will be from APC to Lapu-lapu Street and vice versa. The marching band from Sto. Niño Catholic School led the parade with their outstanding performances. We walked under the sun until we were exhausted and irritated with the heat.

Tired from the continuous walking, my friend and I decided to eat first at a nearby Jollibee to satisfy our hunger and rest a bit. Upon returning back to the parking lot, we learned that we missed the formal opening and some announcements (although it wasn't really important). But luckily, we witnessed the amazing performance of the APC Dance Company (APCDC). The audience was really hyped and eager to watch the performance. A lot of girls cheered while the APCDC showed the audience their outstanding talent. After the dance number, we were left in awe. Everyone was surprised and shocked.

Afterwards, the candidates for the SoM beauty pageant arrived hand in hand, proudly showing their bright smiles and their beautiful and handsome faces. As each candidate walked and introduced themselves, the audience cheered for those who represented their courses. With so much excitement, most of the audience looked forward to the muse and escort that will be crowned Mr. and Ms. SoM.

Through the following week, I have attended some events and I found it quite enjoyable. Now that the SoM week has ended, it left me looking forward to this year's College Week and next year's SoM week. As a freshman, I will expect a lot of fun and experience a lot of things.
