It was opened by a doxology  from the Dance Club followed by a band explosion performed by the SPRINGBOARD ( a group of musically-inclined 4th year students) singing a medley of Tagalog songs. Philippine cultural dances and folk songs highlighted this big event. It was made even more festive with the Balagtasan and Tula. The students and teachers did make tremendous effort in the preparation and practices. The backdrop showcasing the pride of the Filipinos was a sight that gave the stage a Pinoy touch.
