The academic community enjoyed a lively day of traditional games in celebration of the Salakayan Festival 2026. Representatives from the Department of Education districts of Miagao East and West, Iloilo Science and Technology University, Sangguniang Kabataan, and the local government unit of Miagao came together to partake in various friendly competitions.
Participants engaged in classic activities such as the sock race, kadang-kadang, tug of war, and balloon pop, among others. Beyond the pursuit of prizes, the event emphasized camaraderie and unity, reflecting the spirit of cooperation exemplified by our ancestors. This gathering commemorates their successful defense against the Moro raiders, the historical foundation of the Salakayan Festival.
