Five students from Mohawk College, Canada engaged in traditional Filipino games on February 17 at West Visayas State University (WVSU), offering them a fun and interactive way to immerse themselves in local culture while building connections with DagYoung Student Ambassadors.
As part of their cultural engagement activities, the visiting students participated in well-loved Filipino childhood games such as Tumbang Preso, Langit-Lupa, Chinese Garter, Limbo Rack, Luksong Tinik, Kadang-kadang, and Patintero.
Through these traditional games, the participants gained hands-on experience of Filipino customs that emphasize teamwork, agility, and community spirit. The activity fostered camaraderie between local and international students while deepening cultural understanding in an engaging and meaningful way.
This initiative reflects WVSU’s continuing commitment to internationalization and cultural diversity by creating platforms where global visitors and local students can engage in meaningful exchanges that enrich both academic learning and personal growth.
