This special segment, dedicated to traditional Filipino games, aimed to foster camaraderie, cultural appreciation, and a sense of national pride among participants. The event saw a remarkable turnout, with students of all ages engaging in fun-filled activities that highlighted the importance of preserving Filipino heritage.

The university grounds transformed into a lively arena for iconic games such as patintero, piko, tumbang preso, and sipa. Spectators cheered on participants as they competed in these timeless games, once staples of childhood in Filipino communities. The spirited competition, paired with laughter and friendly banter, reflected the strong sense of unity and pride within the WVSU community.
