That’s a wrap on the SUGAT 2026 Club Fair, and what a day it was! We are filled with gratitude for the overwhelming support we received at the LAPSDU Fun Booth. 🎈

We especially want to extend a warm and sincere welcome to all the freshmen who took the time to drop by. We know that starting a new chapter can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, but please know that you have found a home here. Thank you for choosing to engage with us and for letting us be a part of your first big campus experience.

We cannot wait to see all the great things you will achieve here! ​A huge thank you to everyone who visited, played our games, and shared a moment with us. You made this event truly unforgettable. Until we see you all again!

Message from the Newly Elected President, Luke Buhisan

We are filled with joy and gratitude as you all celebrate not only your achievements but also the journey that brought you here as Paulinians. There were moments of doubt, struggle, and uncertainty, but through it all, you were guided, strengthened, and sustained by God’s grace.

This is not just the end of a journey, but the beginning of a new one. You have spent years learning, growing, and overcoming challenges that once seemed impossible. Each late night, every sacrifice, and all the hard work have led you to this very moment.

As you step forward, we hope that you may pursue your dreams with courage, face uncertainty with resilience, and make a marked difference.

We are very proud of all of you. Congratulations, Graduates of Class 2026.

— Luke Franches G. Buhisan
Newly Elected President
