MSU-IIT PALAKASAN: A CONVERGENCE OF PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS


MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology - MSU-IIT Palakasan is made more challenging, engaging and exciting with the street dancing competition. Inspired to be this year’s Palakasan Grand Champion, 8 schools and colleges of the institute vie for the 1st Prize in this contest considering that it will be 10% of the total score.

 Street Dancing Competition was started last year where every group of contenders represented their chosen festival of the Philippines. The sense of excitement among the viewers was extraordinary that each school/college created a platoon of supporters-cheering loudly until the performances ended. The whole event truly wowed the judges and the audience. It created a buzz within and even beyond the campus that the MSU-IIT constituents and visitors await for its next showdown.

Lo and behold, enthusiastic participants from various schools and colleges proudly represented a new set of Philippine Festivals –a competition set higher to a next level. This time, costumes are more vibrant, performers are more invigorating and viewers are more ecstatic. These I proudly say that MSU-IIT PALAKASAN IS TRULY A CONVERGENCE OF PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS.

Let’s take a glimpse on their performances:

School of Engineering Technology presented Alikaraw Festival



College of Engineering showcased Lingganay Festival



School of Computer Studies showed Lubi-Lubi Festival

College of Business Administration and Accountancy 
performed Buyogan Festival 

College of Nursing presented Pinta Flores Festival




College of Education showcased Himag-Ulaw Festival




College of Science and Mathematics showed Kasagingan Festival




College of Arts and Social Sciences performed Kahumayan Festival 





This year’s street dancing competition is truly breathtaking. Truly, an event to remember. All the participants deserve a big applause, appreciation and admiration for another successful representation of the amazing Philippine Festivals. It’s an opportune time for everyone to learn the festivities of the other provinces in the country and be proud of it. Indeed, MSU-IIT PALAKASAN IS A CONVERGENCE OF PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS and will serve as the institute’s attraction for everyone to grace and enjoy.

The question then is, what colleges and/or schools do you think will make it to the top 3?

Using low cost native materials like bamboo furniture and nipa hut, Tita Fannies Chicken and Liempo Haus was finally launched on November 18, 1999 at Zamora St., Poblacion, Iligan City. “We wanted Iligan City to have its mark in the food industry” recalls Mrs. Nilda Onque. The family then had a very great idea of offering liempo and lechon manok in town. These were the main products that captured the taste of the Iliganons who kept coming back for more.
