the Bands kickstarted the program with ten groups performing their own rendition of their chosen songs. The Foam Party proceeded afterwards with guest DJ Christian San
Juan of CS1 Pro Audio Lights and Sounds whose bass and beats made the students groove and jive. “I am super proud. I feel one of a kind and I’m enjoying this event. Kudos to UNO-R,” said San Juan.
Parokya Ni Kaloy is composed of Emmanuel Clavecillas of SEM-03 for the rhythm, Carl Brian Rumbines of SEM04 as the lead guitarist, Armhille John Boboli of SEM-05 as bass guitarist, Diane Pagaran of SEM04 as the lead vocalist and Justin John Octaviano of SEM-05 as the drummer. “We never expect our band to win because after the performance we knew that we had some mistakes but we just continued anyways,” said Justin John Octaviano, drummer of the band.
Highlighting the band’s presentation, they sang their winning songs “Teenagers” and Parokya ni Edgar’s “Picha-pie,” that made the audience jump to the beat and crowd the quadrangle spaces in spite of the heavy rain. Completing the winners roll, ALPAS and Down By V (Five) Band followed as 1st and 2nd runners-up respectively, while Sundae band clinched the People’s Choice Award. The event was then followed by the foam party.

Esther Joyce Limbana
The closet for the next outset was filled with colors and style as each is filled with excitement to choose glitters or posh to epitomize their own vogue. Lengthy preparation the night before - as everyone conceptualizes the style and couture of their own designation. Everyone truts around the campus with confidence, as this one week becomes a chance to flaunt their indivudalities in the interpretation of clothing. This has become a week of fashion and craze - an occasion that will hype up the soul of every fashionista and buzz out their aesthetic Instagram posts. To say that UNO-Rians are ecstatic about this change would be an understatement. The OOTDs are bombing around social media and different hashtags are up into the screens. Walking around with much chic and stylish signature look uplifts the mood of everyone. High-end brands adorn some students while some cultivate their way of wearing ten to twenty pesos worth of thrift clothes. With the University week becoming somewhat of a runway - casting colors of fabric, superb sneakers and heels, and explicit beauty, students of the univeristy continue make the most out of it while it lasts.

A smile on his face, knowing he won. His head high raised, unburdening a ton. Looking back to what he did, not regretting his own. Leave along with high grades of his own.

Earl Villarias, SEM04
Would you prefer a good vocal performance or skillful playing of the instruments?
“If I were to judge the acts, I would prefer both a good vocal performance and skillful playing of instruments because combining these two, it would create a great overall performance of the bands.”
Kit Martin De Paula, SA01 What are your suggestions to improve or make UWEEK activities more fun?
“Create more activities that would foster collaboration, that would foster not just fun and excitement but at least involve everybody in the process. Right after the activity what we have accomplished, what we have achieved as we journey as one UNORian community. I believe that it’s the best thing we could do in order to achieve that peak of excellence in the light of our activity.”
Ma. Greazl Lorein Castaneda,STV02 Did you enjoy the activities? What made them fun for you?
“Yes. The company from our co- UNORians and from the outsiders made it fun because they are very friendly and down to earth. I also made new memories here in UNO-R.”
Shena Galilea, SA01 Would you like at least a single performer to incorporate the sound of a different instrument to their music? If yes, what would it be?
“The performances I have witnessed are spectacular and left me speechless because the participants did their best and showcased their talents to the full potential. I can see the hardwork they have put in to give the audience the performance not only for entertainment, but also for knowledge.”
