After an intense four-day clash among the seven colleges, the Palakasan 2024, incorporating an Adventure Time theme, concluded with an Awarding Night and Rave party on April 30, 2024, at the University Gymnasium. Led and managed by the Kataastaasang Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral (KASAMA), the event drew to a successful close, bringing together the students of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT.
This year’s Overall Champion was the College of Engineering (COE), putting an end to the back-to-back Overall Champion title of the College of Education and the Integrated Developmental School (CED-IDS). CED-IDS has earned the Overall Champion title in the years 2019 and 2023, excluding the years of no Palakasan as a result of the pandemic.
COE’s 2024 win was secured as they were able to garner significant points from obtaining the following podium places in the various categories– Overall Champion for Literary Events; 1st-runner up for Sports Events; and 2nd-runner up for Cultural Events.
CED-IDS currently sits at the 1st runner-up place; following them was the College of Arts and Social Sciences in the 2nd runner-up spot; the College of Economics and Business and Accountancy bagging the 3rd runner-up; the College of Science and Mathematics as the 4th-runner up; the College of Health Sciences in the 5th runner-up rank; and the College of Computer Studies in the 6th runner-up place.
Chancellor Alizedney M. Ditucalan, in a post on his official social media page, expressed his words of congratulations to all the participants and the organizations that greatly contributed to the success of the event.
This year’s Palakasan serves as proof of the well-rounded spirit and energy of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳-IIT students.
