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.
