The Philippine Normal University (PNU) hosts this year’s edition of ALAP—the university’s highly anticipated student organization fair—on October 8, 2025. It gathers students, organizations, and other stakeholders in a lively celebration of engagement and community. Despite the gloomy weather, the enthusiasm of PNU students lit up the campus as student organizations proudly showcased their advocacies and initiatives, emphasizing the University’s commitment to fostering not only academic excellence but also the holistic development of its learners.

Following the preliminaries, Dr. Denmark L. Yonson, Vice President for Student Success and Stakeholder Services, and Hon. Charmee Verginia, Chairperson of the Central Student Council, delivered their special messages. Both emphasized the importance of involvement and leadership, reminding students that joining organizations can help them grow not just academically but personally and socially as well.

Afterward, ALAP 2025 was officially launched with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the beginning of the organization fair. Booths from various student organizations opened across the venue, each highlighting its unique purpose, advocacy, and contribution to campus life. More than just displays, these booths served as spaces for connection and discovery—encouraging students to find communities that match their interests, values, and passions.

The event continued with intermission performances that added energy and entertainment. Performers showcased their talents in music, dance, and acting.

The program ended with an awards ceremony recognizing the efforts and creativity of participating student organizations. MAMULAT PNU was named Student Choice Champion. The Best Booth Awards were given to PNU Paws for third place, PNU The Thespian Society for second place, and PNU Gabriela Youth for first place and overall champion.
