Bida BES!
The Basic Education School (BES) of the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT) held its Intramurals 2026 from October 24 to 29, featuring athletic competitions, literary events, visual arts contests, and socio-cultural performances under the theme “BES REALMS: A Legacy Beyond Victory.”
The five elemental realms, The Ferocious Tropheon, The Glacial Frostveil, The Ceaseless Aquariel, The Fierry Pyrren, and The Glaring Sundara, represented the talents and participation of learners across the school community. Inspired by the Louisian principles of Sapientia Aedificat (Wisdom Builds) and Cor Unum et Anima Una (One Heart and One Soul), the theme emphasized character, leadership, and camaraderie alongside achievement.
The activities began with preliminary preparations on October 23 and 24, including mother banner making, board games, and elimination matches in futsal, basketball, and volleyball. The official opening on October 26 featured a Eucharistic Celebration, field demonstration, parade of participants, literary events, and the Jumpstreet Competition.
On October 27, participants competed in track-and-field events at the Sports Complex, string-instrument solos, pop acappella, folk dances, and the Master Chef competition. The following day, October 28, featured oral literary contests, dancesports, the Master Baker challenge, and the Search for BES Ambassador and Ambassadress (BESAA) Coronation.
October 29 featured championship matches, the Battle of the Brains, the Grand Socio-Cultural Night, final vocal competitions, and the announcement of the overall winners.
After competing in various sports, literary, visual arts, socio-cultural, and special events, The Ferocious Tropheon emerged as the overall champion. The Glacial Frostveil placed first runner-up, followed by The Ceaseless Aquariel as second runner-up. The Fierry Pyrren secured third runner-up, while The Glaring Sundara finished fourth runner-up.
The mentioned events support Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) by promoting physical activity through sports and fitness competitions.

The integration of the Kaibigan ng Kalikasan Program (KKP) also promotes SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) through environmental practices and waste management. Meanwhile, the implementation of competition guidelines and fair play supports SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) by emphasizing integrity, respect, and accountability.
