Dapog Manugsanlag (CON), Dapog Manugtuom (CAS), Dapog Manugpakas (CBM), and Dapog Manugsugba (COE) remain neck and neck as the four colleges secured five awards each in the eight competitions held across various categories—including essay writing, poetry writing, pagsulat ng sanaysay, pagsulat ng tula, extemporaneous speaking, oration, declamation, and storytelling. The results were announced, and winners were awarded on Jan. 28 at the WVSU Cultural Center.
Dapog Manuglagpang (COM) made a strong showing, sending out more representatives than in previous years. Their efforts paid off, as they emerged as one of the top-performing colleges with three awards. One participant even admitted to racing against time—juggling exams, supporting their team, and exploring campus buildings for the first time.
External campuses brought the heat as well. Dapog Manuglapwa (Pototan Campus) clinched first place in declamation. Dapog Manugbati (Himamaylan City Campus) earned three awards, Dapog Manugkilaw (Janiuay Campus) took home two, and Dapog Manuglugaw (Lambunao Campus) secured one.
The 2025 University Days are now halfway through, but the festivities are far from over. Taga-West, busog na bala kita sa aton awards o gutom sa gihapon? Hala bira, magadigamo pa kita!
