StratCom | SCO

Student-artists from 13 participating universities in Central Luzon ignite the 2025 Culture and Arts Festival of State Universities and Colleges (CAASUC III) with their talent and passion. The event, held at Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), commenced on November 22 and runs until November 26, 2025. The Cultural Affairs Office (CAO), headed by Dr. Florante Ibarra, led 162 dedicated student-artists across various disciplines, supported by a strong cohort of 31 coaches and trainers during the parade and opening program. Dr. Ibarra, expressing his deep gratitude to the university's representatives, delivered a compelling statement on the significance of the cultural program, stating: “Sa patimpalak na ito ipinamamalas ang kahusayan ng mga talentong hinulma’t hinubog sa loob ng ating pamantasan. Gayundin, itinatampok dito ang ’di matawarang dedikasyon ng mga mag-aaral at mga tagapagsanay sa kanilang paglalaan ng oras at yaman sa patuloy na paglinang ng kani-kanilang mga larangan. Sa suporta ng kasalukuyang administrasyon, mula sa bumubuo ng CAO, ang aming pasasalamat ay wagas at taos-puso. Pinapatunayan lamang nito na ang CLSU ay hindi lamang sentro ng agham at agrikultura, bagkus ay isa ring lunduyan ng sining at kultura.” The CAASUC III serves as the premier platform for State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Central Luzon to showcase talent, promote cultural preservation, and foster camaraderie. Aside from CLSU, other participating universities include Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT), Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU), Bulacan State University (BULSU), National Aviation Academy of the Philippines (NAAP), Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), Pampanga State University (PSU), Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA), President Ramon Magsaysay State University (PRMSU), Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), and Tarlac State University (TSU). As of today, the CLSU delegation has successfully accumulated a total of 78 points, placing the university in a formidable second-place tie with NEUST. As the festival progresses, the entire CLSU community extends its full support and pride to its student-artists, who serve as the University's cultural ambassadors.
