One of the standout features of the event was the Blood Donation Drive. The drive was in collaboration with the Philippine Red Cross Misamis Occidental – Oroquieta City Chapter, where faculty, staff, and students gave in to pain to save the lives of others.

The “Blindate” initiated by the Organization of Marine Conservationists and Ecologists upholding Academic Excellence and Noble Research Works (OCEAN) and the “Love Chain Booth” by the Sustainable and Achievable Broadcasting with Unbiased Goals (SABUAG), brought out the “kilig” and excitement, wherein students were randomly paired up for blind dates to promote friendship and camaraderie. The initiatives aimed to break the ice, fostering new connections and emphasizing the importance of platonic relationships during the season of love.

Adding a touch of humor and whimsy to the celebration, a “Wedding Booth” was set up by the E-Theatro, where students playfully posed for mock wedding photos with their friends or significant others. The booth became popular as students seized the opportunity to capture hilarious and heartwarming moments. Photo booths were also installed by the League of Information Technologists (LIT) to capture sweet moments during the celebration.
