Going up against top student musicians from state universities and colleges nationwide, the SOCCSKSARGEN Region delegation, represented by the University of Southern Mindanao โ Kidapawan City Campus (USM-KCC), secured the Silver Award in the Live Band Competition during the 2026 Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) National Culture and Arts Festival (NCAF), held on April 8 at Quezon Hall, Iloilo City.
Coach Engr. Rhett Sean P. Pomares shared that the bandโs success was rooted in collaboration and discipline.
โWe built the piece by listening to everyoneโs ideas until we reached an agreement. I prepared their individual pieces, then adjusted kung saan sila mas comfortable. And during practice, I helped them stay focused and composed,โ he said.
The group is composed of Charmel Alimento, Morven Jubahib, Alyzza Marie Laus, Kurt Glen Satera, Clarence Arandilla, Shamjay Sarona, and Ash Jorge Ugay, proudly representing SOCCSKSARGEN on the national stage.
