becomes a practical and effective solution in such situations,” AVFB Rescue Deputy Migue Mike Gorne said.

Meanwhile, the participants were mostly new to the activity, while a subgroup brought prior experience; however, rigorous safety measures were in place, to ensure a secure environment for alleviating concerns.

“This activity employs stringent safety measures, including personal protective equipment such as helmets and gloves. The anchoring systems are meticulously installed by qualified experts, and the ropes utilized are adequately padded for enhanced safety,” Gorne added.

Furthermore, several students from various departments also engaged in the practical application of rappelling techniques with the instructions of professionals from AVFB.

Aiming to introduce the different mythologies to students, the English Teachers’ Club (ETC) of the College of Education organized the “Parade of the Gods”, convened by freshmen and sophomores English Majors, which started from the Little Theater to the University Park, Nov. 15.

“In order to live up to our special field, we encourage our first-years and second-years to dress up as the different gods and goddesses from different civilizations,” ETC Vice President Jean Rose Burgos said.

Burgos added that this event was already present prior to the establishment of the ETC.

“This event is actually exciting because I’m a big fan of mythologies, and this is of great importance for us, freshmen, since this is our initiation,” first-year student and participant Renzy Jainar said.

Furthermore, the participants portrayed the different Gods and Goddesses from the Philippine, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, and Norse Mythologies.
