Torch Parade with College Students from different organizations and courses. Together with the College Band. The parade will end at the Hibalag booth area. This torch parade has been a tradition for many years now. It actually the start of all the upcoming events.

Hibalag Booth Area

Founders Day would not be complete without the Hibalag Booth Area. Hibalag is composed of several booths made by the students from different departments. This is a challenge for them every year because it is also a contest. Students would also sell food and other items in their booth. There would also be several gimmicks from each department. Local artists and bands are also invited to perform in the Hibalag Stage. Singing and Dance Contest, High School night, Fashion Show, Christian Fellowship Night and other events would also happen here.
