MSU-IIT is officially the 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 of the MSUSAA Unity Games 2026! 🏆

We are beyond proud of our mighty MSU-IIT Cats for bringing pride and honor to the University and proving what true champions are made of–determined, relentless, and hungry for victory.

Game after game, the Cats met every challenge head-on, battling through intense matches, tight finishes, and high-pressure moments to keep the victory within reach.

The Cats' golden run saw 𝟭𝟭𝟲 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱-medal finishes in Arnis (Men and Women), Badminton (Men and Women), Basketball (Men and Women), Football, Futsal, Karatedo, Pickleball (Women), Softball, Table Tennis (Men and Women), Taekwondo (Men and Women), and Volleyball (Men and Women).

Adding to the haul were 𝟰𝟭 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 medals in Arnis (Men and Women), Athletics (Women), Badminton (Women), Beach Volleyball (Men and Women), Chess (Men and Women), Karatedo, Table Tennis (Men and Women), and Taekwondo (Men and Women), alongside 𝟮𝟵 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗲 finishes in Arnis (Men and Women), Athletics (Women), Badminton (Men and Women), Chess (Men and Women), Karatedo, Table Tennis (Men and Women), and Taekwondo (Men and Women).

The MSU-IIT Dancesport team also made its mark, securing 2nd Runner-Up in the Dancesport competition, with podium finishes in Latin and Samba.

As you celebrate this triumphant finish, may you never forget the hurdles that shaped this moment, the bonds forged through competition and sportsmanship, and the confidence and trust you built within yourselves and your teammates in this journey.

The MSUSAA Unity Games 2026 comes to a close and we will be keeping our claws sharp as we wait for the next!

Until then, congratulations to our MSU-IIT Cats and to the other MSU delegations who fought a good fight!

From sunny walkways to late-night study corners, Alab sees how women hold MSU-IIT together—organizing, leading, caring, and fighting for fairer spaces. Today, this campus cat stands tall with all of you. 🐱

Happy International Women’s Day!




For every woman who dared, dreamed, fought, and endured, today, we say thank you.

This International Women’s Day, MSU-IIT celebrates the brilliant forces that are women—who, in the face of challenges and discrimination often cloaked as tradition, relentlessly rise, stand, and fight for inclusiveness, equality, and respect, who weave compassion, courage, and change into the fabric of our world.

Today, we honor every woman: a mother, friend, sister, co-worker, leader, and all the many forms that strength and courage take. We celebrate you and the loud and silent revolutions you carry forward with every step you take. 💜

I’m on the house!

Day 1 is LIT! Gym is shaking, Griffins are burning bright, and I can feel that Golden Goblet energy in the air. Keep those cheers loud, keep that spirit louder. The race has only begun!







𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐁 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄! 🐱🔥

Day 1 of our Race for the Golden Goblet just got fiercer as Alab storms into the university gymnasium with blazing energy and unstoppable spirit! The crowd is roaring, the Griffins are on fire, and the competition just leveled up.

If this is how we start the madness, imagine what’s coming next. The Goblet is watching… and the race is far from over. 🏆✨

To my favorite hooman, Chancellor Ditucalan,

Meow-velous 4th year anniversary as Chancellor!

It’s me, Alab—your ever-curious, ever-proud university cat, watching MSU-IIT change and grow under your leadership. I’ve seen more students walking with purpose, more visitors discovering our campus, and more stories of excellence and service whispered in every hallway.

Thank you for leading MSU-IIT with heart and vision, for influencing the future of every IITian, and for making this campus a home not just for people, but for one very grateful big cat too. 😸

Here’s to more years of dreaming bigger, reaching higher, and shining brighter—together.

Purr-oud of you always,
Alab 😽

Alab here, your friendly neighborhood university cat, wishing you a pawsitively lovely Valentine’s Day!

Whether your heart is taken, healing, or happily studying, remember you are already purr-fect and so, so loved.

Today’s agenda: extra head boops, slow blinks, and quiet moments on campus with the people who make it feel like home.

Tag your favorite buddy and send them some feline-approved love. 💌🐾




Happy Valentine’s Day, IITians, and to everyone! ❤️

This hearts season, we are reminded that love and compassion are what sustain a thriving community. At MSU-IIT, our love is translated into action, purpose, and shared responsibility.

Love is a force that comes in many forms and everybody deserves to have it. We hope you are able to share and receive it today and in all of your days!

Huge congratulations to our newly minted MSU-IIT Cats—our latest batch of graduates! 🎓😺

You’ve turned long nights, big dreams, and countless challenges into a hard-earned degree, and your university family couldn’t be prouder of you.

As you step beyond the campus gates, carry with you the resilience, compassion, and grit that define what it means to be a Cat.

This may be the end of your stay as students, but the MSU-IIT spirit will always stay with you—once a Cat, always a Cat. 💛
