𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀’ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 gives us a moment to remember those who have gone ahead of us and honor the lives that have touched ours. From family members and dear friends to beloved companions, each one leaves behind memories that time can never erase.

As we visit their resting places, may we take a moment to offer prayers, light a candle, and reflect on the love and moments that will forever be treasured.

May perpetual light shine upon them, and may they rest in everlasting peace. 🕯

This 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬' 𝐃𝐚𝐲, 🕯️ we take a moment to honor the lives of the saints who have shown us the meaning of faith, courage, and selfless service. Their stories remind us that greatness is not only measured by what we build, but also by the values we uphold and the lives we inspire.

Today reminds us to live with compassion, serve with purpose, and uphold the values that make a lasting difference in the lives of others. 🙏🏻✨

May the lives and legacies of the saints continue to inspire us to live with kindness, strengthen our faith, and spread hope to others. 🤲🏻❤️

𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 | 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭

Civil Engineering students put their creativity and technical knowledge to work in the Spaghetti Bridge Contest under the subject 𝐂𝐄 𝟒𝟎𝟒𝟏: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬. The activity provided an opportunity to explore the fundamentals of structural engineering, from identifying material properties and developing truss configurations to estimating a bridge's load-carrying capacity.

Using computer simulations, students predicted how their designs would respond to loading conditions and compared their analytical results with those from physical testing.

More than a test of how much weight a spaghetti bridge can carry, the activity encouraged students to think critically, solve problems systematically, and understand the relationship between computer models and actual structural behavior.

After all, good engineering is not just about making structures stand. It is about understanding why they stand, how they behave, and what it takes to make them reliable. 💙💚

𝐂𝐌𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑 | 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 🏗️

On September 21, 2026, third-year Civil Engineering students taking 𝗖𝗘 𝟯𝟭𝟯𝟯 (𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴) joined an educational tour to gain firsthand exposure to construction materials, testing procedures, and actual construction activities.

The tour began at the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗜𝗕𝗖) batching plant and testing laboratory, where students learned about the production and handling of concrete and asphalt, as well as the testing and evaluation of construction materials.

The visit then continued at the 𝗣𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 (𝗣𝗡𝗛𝗦) building site, where the ongoing five-storey PAGCOR building project gave students a closer look at construction activities in the field. They saw how construction materials and methods discussed in class are applied in an actual project.

The experience provided a clearer understanding of how proper material testing, quality control, and construction practices contribute to the performance and reliability of a structure.

From testing materials to seeing them become part of a structure, the tour showed that every safe and reliable structure begins with materials that are properly 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅, 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅, and 𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅. 🧱🪚
