Adjourned Sine Die: SAO–SCG Concludes Academic Year 2025–2026

The SAO – Student Core Group successfully held its 2nd Annual General Assembly and Training Workshop on May 22, 2026, at the Junior High School AVR, bringing together its members for a day of learning, reflection, recognition, and celebration.

The full-day activity opened with a series of training workshops designed to strengthen the competencies of the SAO-SCG student leaders. Ms. Ma. Charla V. Treasury, Team Leader and Hotelier at BAI Hotel Cebu, facilitated a session on Customer Frontline Services, emphasizing professionalism, effective communication, and the Mabuhay Hospitality. This was followed by a lecture on Project Ex*****on and Management by Mr. Paulo S. Saberon, Executive Director of the Cebu City Youth Development Office, who shared practical insights on planning, implementing, and evaluating projects. Members actively participated in the discussions and workshop activities, gaining valuable knowledge and skills applicable to their future roles.

The assembly also took on a more meaningful tone as members paid tribute to the graduating members whose dedication and service have contributed significantly to the growth of the organization.

In its ceremonial session, the assembly formally acknowledged the accomplishments and milestones of SAO–SCG throughout the academic year while setting its sights on the opportunities and goals of the incoming term. As the organization adjourned sine die, it marked the close of another chapter defined by benevolent service.

More than an annual gathering, the General Assembly served as a celebration of shared successes and enduring friendships, reflecting SAO–SCG's continuing commitment to fostering camaraderie, inclusion, and a genuine spirit of volunteerism among its members.

Today, we celebrate more than just our nation’s independence — we celebrate the courage, sacrifices, and unwavering spirit of the Filipinos who fought for the freedom we enjoy today. Their bravery reminds us that being Filipino is not only about where we come from, but also about the pride, resilience, and love we carry for our country.

As we honor this special day, may we continue to choose the Philippines — to appreciate its beauty, believe in its people, and work together for a brighter future for the generations to come.

Happy Philippine Independence Day! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino. 🇵🇭

UC Student Leaders Join ASEAN Event

The SAO-SCG together with the University of Cebu Council of Presidents - Main - UCCP, Senior High School SSC, and the LAKANDIWA representatives participated in the ASEAN Community Town Hall on May 8, 2026, held in Mactan, Cebu as part of the sidelines of the 48th ASEAN Summit.

The event was organized by the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) and the ASEAN Youth Organization under the ASEAN for the Peoples Week 2026 initiative. The gathering brought together policymakers, youth leaders, academics, civil society representatives, and international delegates from across Southeast Asia to discuss key regional issues and strengthen public engagement in ASEAN affairs.

The town hall featured discussions on pressing regional concerns, including climate and energy security, sustainable development, and economic growth within the ASEAN region. Speakers and delegates emphasized the importance of building a people-centered ASEAN by encouraging active participation from communities, especially the youth, in shaping the future of the region.

Through the dialogue sessions, UC student leaders gained valuable insights on ASEAN cooperation and regional integration while engaging in meaningful discussions with fellow youth delegates. The experience also provided opportunities to exchange ideas, broaden perspectives on global and regional issues, and strengthen connections with emerging leaders across Southeast Asia.

As Cebu hosts the 48th ASEAN Summit and related meetings, the participation of UC student leaders highlights the university’s commitment to developing globally aware, socially engaged, and future-ready student leaders.
