Thank you, our beloved and very active Mayor Francisco "Ico" Calvo, our HR Department, our generous Sponsors, and the entire LGU family for these awards. Winning 2nd Place in Cheerdance, receiving the Service Excellence Award, and maam Merly Delfin being honored with the Executive Managerial Excellence Award are all testaments to what true teamwork can achieve.

Above all, thank You, Lord, for Your guidance and favor.
We remain humbled by your grace. 🙏

Together, we rise, together, we win.

WE STILL CAN’T BELIEVE IT… SECOND PLACE!
What a journey. What a miracle. What a testimony of God’s grace.
We honestly did not expect to bag 2nd place in the 2025 LGU Cheer Dance Competition.

Our case was complicated. At first, we didn’t even intend to join because of the many programs and responsibilities we had to handle. We were busy and unsure. But God had other plans.

Due to unexpected circumstances, we rehired a trainer for the 2nd time, practiced for only a week and a half, and came in without props, without grand preparations… only with our hearts.

Yet somehow, with nothing but faith, teamwork, and the desire to simply dance with purpose, we made it. When our name was called for 2nd place, we were overwhelmed - emotional and beyond grateful. It was never a joke competing with well-prepared departments… but grace made a way.

To everyone who believed in us even when we struggled to believe in ourselves… thank you. You are part of this unexpected victory.

THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS;
Your support lifted us, strengthened us, and reminded us that we are never alone.
