The much-anticipated event for JPIANs has finally arrived, where accounting students proudly represent their houses. This event showcases not just beauty, but also intelligence and a spirit of goodwill among students and their communities.

Mr. Ambassador of Goodwill:

Ivan Steve Mejica (Verdantia) 

Ms. Ambassador of Goodwill:

Andrea Mavy Sutton (Sylvania)

As I entered the Teatro Ibabawnon, I wasn't feeling my best due to my allergy rhinitis. Honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to watch the pageant. However, the lively atmosphere and the excitement of the crowd motivated me to stay. Once the pageant began, I found myself swept up in the energy, cheering along with everyone else.

One of the highlights was Mr. Ambassador's powerful message: "Padayon - to continue. Despite challenges, we must push forward, persevere, and rise above obstacles."

His inspiring message resonates deeply, reminding us that success lies not in avoiding challenges, but in embracing them with courage and resilience.

Congratulations to our new Mr. and Ms. Ambassador of Goodwill! May their leadership and dedication inspire everyone to spread kindness and goodwill wherever they go.

Whenever you hear the word "drawing," you might think of notable architects and famous artists. However, what comes to my mind first are my friends, who like to draw (or plan) but, for some reason, fail to add color. It's like seeing unfinished sketches of friends who plan ideas with enthusiasm but never quite bring them to life.

Thus, one afternoon, when one of my friends suggested we all go to the fair, it felt like we were about to bring our unfinished plans to life with vibrant excitement. 

As we arrived, the place was lively and full of people enjoying the night. The first thing that we did was to check the rides and games. There were so many that we couldn't decide what to ride first. After a very short debate, we decided to ride the horror train. At first, it was a bit scary with the spooky and thrilling sound effects, but when it started, the ghosts were a bit boring. Nevertheless, it was fun because one of my friends was so afraid that he couldn't lift his head and remained still the entire time. We also tried the Octopus ride. Where we feel like we're floating because of the fast rotation and the thrill of rising high before dipping low that bought us rush adrenaline, making each rotation an unforgettable moment. Before going home, we tried the foods and roamed around outside the carnival fair. 

The night I felt the loud beat of music and youthful energy. Attending ESSUphoria for the first time was a beautiful experience filled with excitement and eagerness to sing in the crowd. As I arrived at the venue, the ground was wet because of the unexpected thunderstorm, but despite the bad weather, the event continued to be wet and wild! 

The event started with the dance performance of LILA, a girl dance group at ESSU. After that, Congressman Marcelino "Nonoy" Libanan, who sponsored the event, also showcased his talent in singing and playing guitar. While watching and cheering them on, I can say that they are talented. When Sponge Cola took the stage, the atmosphere transformed into a lively concert. Me and my friends sing along to their songs like "Pag-Ibig" and "Tuliro." Between songs, the lead singer shared stories and interacted with the crowd, making everyone feel included in the experience. After the concert, there is a fireworks display to showcase the successful celebration of ESSU's 20th Charter Day anniversary.
