The University of Baguio was filled with love, laughter, and music (and yes, lots of TAHO!) as the Supreme Student Council transformed Campo Manes into a lively oasis of love over a two-day celebration that was as much about community appreciation as it was about romance. This special celebration was designed not only to express romance but also to recognize and appreciate the dedication and hard work of students, teachers, and staff alike.

Tahoooo for everyone!

To kick off the festivities, the SSC Booth greeted everyone with an array of sweet treats. UBianos enjoyed free snacks, freshly made taho, and essential stationeries—perfect to keep spirits high and minds ready for the upcoming exams. The delicious treats set a cheerful tone for the day, with smiles and conversations filling the air.

Cupid’s Wall of Hearts Freedom Walls were installed around the university. Inviting UBianos to confess their love, share heartfelt messages, and express themselves freely, adds an extra layer of fun and creativity. The walls quickly became a canvas of inspiring words and artistic expressions, uniting the campus in a shared celebration of gratitude and community.

As the festivities flowed into Valentine’s Day, the atmosphere at Campo Manes became even more enchanting. Passers-by were treated to live performances by the Voices Chorale, Rondalla, and Plug and Play in front of the Office of Student Affairs. Students and Faculty alike gathered to enjoy heart-fluttering performances as they indulged in their warm taho or sweet treats.

With full hearts and happy memories, UBianos walked away knowing that love, in all its forms, makes our campus feel like home.
