The School of Health and Allied Sciences (SHAS) brought mythical Philippine folklore to life during SHAS Week 2026, held from October 19 to 23, 2026, at the halls and grounds of the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT). Anchored on the theme “SANSINUKOB: Ang Sigalot ng Alon, Alapaap, at Lupa,” the celebration featured three teams inspired by mythical creatures associated with the country’s three major island groups: The Spirits of Ambagan, The Serpents of Lantawan, and The Guardians of Sulaya.
The teams faced off in sports, socio-cultural, literary, visual, and special events, each bringing their talents and team spirit to the competition.
Among the highlights was SHAS Ambassadors and Ambassadresses 2026, which showcased the candidates’ confidence, talent, and stage presence. J-Peterson C. Soriano of The Serpents of Lantawan earned the title of SHAS Ambassador 2026, while Nikki Joy R. Pagalilauan of The Guardians of Sulaya was named SHAS Ambassadress 2026.
After days of competition, The Spirits of Ambagan emerged as the Overall Champion, followed by The Serpents of Lantawan as First Runner-Up and The Guardians of Sulaya as Second Runner-Up.
Beyond the competition, SHAS Week celebrated the talents, teamwork, and shared experiences that bring the SHAS community together. The celebration also supports Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education by providing students with opportunities to develop leadership, creativity, collaboration, and other skills beyond the classroom.
