𝗞𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗸𝗮𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲, 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗻!

The Kasikas Cultural Music Ensemble proudly congratulates two of our graduating members:

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗡. 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗹𝗮
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

𝗥𝗶𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗻
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Both from the College of Engineering and Information Technology, Frost and Riejon have been part of Kasikas since its conception as a cultural group in CSUCC. Through their dedication, talent, and service, they helped shape the ensemble during its formative years and greatly enriched the music, identity, and community that Kasikas continues to nurture today.

Pursuing engineering degrees demanded long hours of study, challenging academic work, and unwavering discipline. Yet despite these responsibilities, they still found time to become integral members of Kasikas—showing up, performing, learning, and sharing their gifts in service of culture and the university community.

Your journey reminds us that academic excellence and passion for the arts can flourish together. We are profoundly proud not only of the degrees you have earned, but also of the lasting mark you have left on Kasikas.

Thank you for being part of our beginnings and for helping build the foundation upon which the ensemble continues to grow.

Congratulations, Frost and Riejon! May you carry the music, memories, and spirit of Kasikas with you as you begin the next chapter of your journey.

Ngayong ika-165 na kaarawan ni 𝐆𝐚𝐭 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐏. 𝐑𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐥, ating ginugunita ang buhay ng isang bayaning hindi lamang nagmulat sa kamalayan ng sambayanan kundi nagbigay rin ng inspirasyon sa pamamagitan ng panitikan, sining, edukasyon, at pagmamahal sa bayan.

Bilang mga tagapagtaguyod ng kultura at sining, nawa'y magsilbing paalala ang kanyang buhay na ang malikhaing pag-iisip at paninindigan ay may kapangyarihang magbigay-liwanag, magmulat, at magdulot ng pagbabago.

"𝐴𝑛𝑔 𝑘𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑎𝑔-𝑎𝑠𝑎 𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑛." — 𝐷𝑟. 𝐽𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑃. 𝑅𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑙

Sa kanyang ika-165 kaarawan, patuloy nating buhayin ang diwa ng pagkamakabayan, pagkamalikhain, at paglilingkod para sa kapwa at bayan.

Maligayang Kaarawan, G*t Jose P. Rizal!
