“Since first day pa la, ginyakan ko na ha assistant coordinators, as well as the host, kun ano talaga akon objective hini nga CoEng’g Days. It is to promote comradery. Karuyag ko tanan from first year to fourth year students na magkakilala tanan, only that dire ta la kilala it nakapaligid ha aton,” CoEng’g Provincial Governor Allean Chua said in his message formally opening the night event.
The CoEng’g Days has been a staple each academic year with the purpose of providing an avenue for students to exhibit their latent skills and talent in the entire gamut of fun activities mentioned above. Additionally, the aforementioned event gave the Engineering students a quick break from their classes and academic responsibilities as they share enjoyment with other engineers in the making.
