The celebration featured the spelling bee competition, participated in by 16 students, and the impromptu speech contest, where 15 students took the challenge. Among the outstanding students, only 3 per event stood out. For the spelling bee competition, Al Rafie T. Dumarpa of STEM 1101 took the championship. Sid Antoine Araya of ABM 1201 then followed him in 2nd place, while Gabrielle Endrina of STEM 1102 secured 3rd place.
On the other hand, Reine Godfrey Alejandro of HUMSS was declared the champion of the impromptu speech contest. He was then followed by Rhevie Anne Escaรฑan of ABM 1201 as the 2nd placer, while Don Mikhail Bravo of STEM 1101 was declared 3rd place.

Representatives of the ABM 1101 strand were honored as 3rd runners-up, including Kenneth Caรฑete as Erebus, the God of Darkness, and Nathalie Cabacungan as Nyx, the Goddess of the Night.
The 2nd runner-ups, John Patrick Garcia from HUMSS 1201 and Kimmy Decipolo from HUMSS 1101, brilliantly depicted Ares, the God of War and Courage, and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, War, and Handicraft, respectively.
