🪕𝐂𝐍𝐔 𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐀𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 2025-2026: 𝙒𝙍𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙀𝘿

From national stages to unforgettable celebrations, every performance became a story worth remembering. From being crowned 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 at 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙮 2025 during the 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗥𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in Ilocos Norte, to sharing our music at 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 in 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙖𝙧, 𝙎𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙖, and the 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝘾𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙮 last April 30, 2026 every moment was filled with gratitude and passion. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦, from 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 in front of our University President to 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 in the 𝘼𝙎𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩 2026, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience our group will forever cherish.

To everyone who supported, appreciated, and believed in us—𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 for every compliment, applause, and opportunity. Every stage we stepped on became a reminder that music connects people beyond cultures and celebrations.

It’s a 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩 for these incredible memories, successful performances, and unforgettable experiences of the group. Forever 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭, forever 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥, and forever 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨. 🎶❤️

As we close the 𝟰𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗡 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 here in 𝘊𝘦𝘣𝘶, First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos and I extend our deepest gratitude to our fellow 𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗡 leaders and partners for the trust, friendship and meaningful discussions we shared over the past few days. 🇵🇭🤝🌏

At a time when the world faces uncertainty, 𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗡 once again showed that we move forward best when we listen to one another, work together and keep our peoples at the center of every decision.

When we hear the word 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄, what usually comes to mind are 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀, and the many branches of musical art. But the most memorable part of entering the 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄 is the 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿.

It is not always filled with positive stages, there are also 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 that we encounter throughout our journey. Yet, through 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 for what we truly want to achieve in the field of music, we eventually find our own answers and earn our unique “𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒚” 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆. This is one of the 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄.

✨ Congratulations to the 𝑪𝑵𝑼 𝑹𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒂 𝑬𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒆 pillars. Through their performance, they share their 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰, showing the true reason why they stepped onto the 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

This is what it truly means to be a member of 𝑪𝑵𝑼 𝑹𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒂: 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥, 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫.🎶
