GOODNESS GRACIOUS! The second day was even more exhilarating featuring a lineup of highly anticipated events. Ten institutions competed to prove who possessed the sharpest wits and intellect. PAFT-Lamda demonstrated true grit, outshining other shools to be crowned the Quiz Bowl champions. Not to be outdone, PAFT-Sigma swept awards for Best Poster Presentation, Best Booth Display, and Best Product Development.

Overall, every institution performed exceptionally well. Participants presented innovative and nutritious product aimed at addressing health issues and hunger. Students also enjoyed the amazing race, proving that that beyond "DANGAL, HUSAY, at TALINO," we also thrive in connecrion and community.

Kitang tanan, mag-usa alang sa pag-LAMBU!
