Students from the different colleges in the university unleashed their competitive spirits as they clash in Pistang Hinampang 2023 spearheaded by the University of Negros Occidental Recoletos Supreme Student Government (UNORSSGO) held at the University Grandstand, Nov. 15.
“The purpose of this event is to ignite camaraderie between UNO-Rians and to promote physical activities,” UNORSSGO Undersecretary for Sports John Patrick Galeno said. Moreover, student representatives showcased their athletic prowess in a series of games composed of Dodge Ball, Sack Race, Tug of
War, and Dakpanay Baboy. “This [hinampang] was inspired by the Filipino festival culture. We adopted and modified traditional Filipino festival games in a collective determination to showcase the sporting prowess of the UNO-R community,” Galeno added. Unleashing their teamwork in a battle of brawn, the
College of Business and Accountancy won in the Sack Race while the College of Engineering clinched the first place in Tug of War. Meanwhile, the College of Criminal Justice Education placed first during the Dodge Ball and Dakpanay Baboy.
Studs exemplify artistry in Mono-No-Aware by LIXIE IMEE SORIANO Representatives from seven colleges showcased their creative aptitude during the “Mono-No-Aware: A Pop and Anime Convention,” facilitated by the University of Negros OccidentalRecoletos Supreme Student Government (UNORSSGO) held at the University Main Lobby and University Park, Nov. 15. UNORSSGO Senator and Project Head Rayne Christian Contrevida stated that being one of the pioneers of the event helped him a lot to improve and expand the said event than the previous year. “[Even though] last year was an experimental stage, it provided me with a good learning experience and assisted me in making adjustments, particularly to the location, [since the event] last year was held in a closed venue which was in the Auditorium,” Contrevida said. Additionally, the project head stated that the UNORSSGO offered and drew a variety of activities that were tailored to the interests and zeal of the students during the University Week 2023. “There is a lot of K-Pop, J-Pop, and Anime community here in the University, in which students should celebrate these aspects of themselves by dancing, singing, and cheering with their colleges,” Contrevida expressed.

Moreover, Contrevida highlighted that even with the challenges they faced, organizing the said event gave them the opportunity to grow and learn from their mistakes. “UNORSSGO offers a ton of exciting events that are more improved and polished. As we strive to be the government for students, and not only a government for the government,” Contrevida said. On the other hand, College of Allied Medical Health Sciences K-Pop Dance Competition participant Sephanie Rebustre extended her gratitude to the UNORSSGO for allowing them to showcase their dancing prowess to the University. “At first we found difficulty with the dance’s stunts, but we still chose to trust ourselves despite all of our self-doubts. As a result, our struggles have turned into our strength, helping us to win the competition,” Rebustre added. Moreover, CAMHS secured the title in K-Pop Dance Competition, meanwhile the College of Engineering and College of Education were hailed as champions for the J-Pop Singing Competition, and Cosplay Competition, respectively.
