The competition was full of chuckles from the contestants' copy-and-paste performances by the five departments, namely the SAS, SBA, SED, SOC, and SEA, where they all presented their amusing skits as they made the audience ache their backs and cheeks with laughter.

The School of Education parades with their iconic mascot "Owla" and their stunning arch, featuring "San Juan Festival". The SED council together with the volunteers build the arch of the parade and joined in the parade.

Isabella Serrano, who represents the department in the chess competition, although she faced defeat against the different representatives during the LOGICA: Tournament of the Brains, still fought until the end for her department, even after losing multiple times to her opponents. As for the E-sports, the gamers who fought for their victory were Aaron Arceo, Alessandra Valencia, John Amiel Espinosa, Andrew Santiago, Joemar Wells, Maxinne Angela Salunga, and Sean Andrei. They earned their first victory in e-games by defeating the SAS Eagles 2-1 in the first elimination round of Mobile Legend but failed to advance to the semi-finals.

The Owls struggled to catch up in their first preliminary basketball game against the CCJEF Panthers, and they were eliminated from going to the semi-finals after surrendering at the end of the 3rd quarter in basketball against Basic Education. The players of the team were Rafael Ocampo, Darryl De Los Santos, Brian Belarmino, John Amiel Espinosa, Khyann Santero, Vince Renzo Yabut, Ethan Dimatalo, Sherwin Nieves, Dexter Gomez, Kiel Ayson, and Huie Castro.

The Owls also fought hard during their last game against the dolphins, panthers, and lions. After SEd suffered their first loss against the SBA Dolphins, the SEd players once again beat the Panthers. But then the Eduk students could not make it to the finals as they lost both sets of the game against the SEA Lions. The members of the team were Adrian Dela Cruz, JM David, Joshua Nuevo, Keanu Malig, Khyann Santero, Louie Rey Villegas, Matthew De San Andres, James Darryll Delos Santos, Rafael Benedict Ocampo, and Troy John Rei Bautista.

The president of Scienzophiliacs, Adrianna Ocampo, finds the university days a rewarding experience. "The outcomes were not favorable, but the SEED students' unexpected unity prevailed. Participating teams in every competition have succeeded due to their ability to create solid relationships by asking for and incorporating feedback from others and, most importantly, by exhibiting companionship towards one another regardless of the outcome."

Owls faced their severe defeat during the current University days as compared for the past years of their reign in the said event. On the other hand, the other pillar of the SEd community, The Reflection, its official publication, waved their success during the University Press Conference.

Four outstanding student leaders were announced as qualifiers for the Ayala Youth Leaders Congress (AYLC) online panel interview last March 9, 2023.

Among the 195 qualifiers coming from different Universities and Colleges across the country, four student-leaders from Holy Angel University were chosen, all striving for a spot in the prestigious leadership summit.

One of the SEd student-leaders, Keanu Malig, was with Shejanira Arcilla and Augie Noah Mendez from the School of Business and Accountancy (SBA), and Kenneth De Guzman from the College of Criminology and Forensics (CCJEF) in successfully securing a place for AYLC.

According to Malig, the AYLC gave them enough preparation in completing all the requirements. He also mentioned how challenged he felt being among the qualifiers.

He said that his purpose for joining is to partner with AYLC and use it as a platform to accomplish his plans in empowering the youth, the basic education and literacy in the Philippines, and the community services at the national level.

“This will be a major challenge for me and the rest of the qualifiers to utilize this big-time opportunity to empower more youth leaders and contribute to fostering change in the community at large through concrete and effective programs and projects,” he added.

The Eduk student has bigger plans for continuous service to the community. He emphasized, “I would like to seek out bigger partnerships involving national organizations, formations, and companies to aid and help us in realizing our goals. Through this, we are taking our Angelite leadership to the next level. We are now making a difference both inside and outside the HAU community. Lagi’t lagi para sa bata, at para sa bayan!”
