Student musicians and vocalists from various campuses and colleges of West Visayas State University (WVSU) showcased their talents in the Musical Category on the third day of the University Days celebration, held at the WVSU Cultural Center on January 29.

The program commenced at 8:30 a.m., with approximately 14 to 17 participants representing their respective departments in each contest. The first category featured was Solo Instrumental, where each contestant performed using their chosen instrument—the guitar.

This was followed by the Vocal Solo Classical category, with performers rendering Filipino classics such as “Nasaan Ka, Irog” and “Dandansoy.” The competition then moved to the Vocal Solo Pop category, where contestants delivered popular Pinoy Pop (P-Pop) songs, including “Amakabogera” and “Araw Gabi.”

The final segment of the musical competitions featured 14 pairs competing in the Vocal Duet Pop category, concluding the series of performances under the Musical Category.

Aligned with this year’s University Days theme, “BANAAG sang West: Celebrating Our Radiant Gleam in Illuminating Generations,” the event highlighted how musical artistry unites the WVSU community. Through their performances, students demonstrated how creativity, cultural tradition, talent, and excellence continue to be passed on across generations.

The competition concluded at around 1:45 p.m., paving the way for the remaining categories scheduled for the afternoon.
