Cheers to a year of teamwork, growth, and endless laughs! 🎉 Today’s PAFT and PHT Year End Party brought together our amazing PAFT officers, dedicated PHT officers, and incredible students — the exact people who turned every goal into a success this year.

The day kicked off with an early morning talk by Prof. Josephine R. Pajo, RND, who shared invaluable “Health Holiday Eating Tips” — practical advice on staying balanced and nourished while enjoying the festive season. After that, we dived straight into afternoon collaborations, tackled those fun games and prizes, and stopped to cheer on every single small win.🥳💗

Along the way, we filled with stories, genuine smiles, and those silly dance breaks that never failed to lighten even the longest, most demanding days. So grateful for every second of this journey with this incredible team! 🥂✨
