From September 18 to 25, 2025, the University of Batangas (UB) Young Communicators’ Guild (YCG) spearheaded the activity “SinEksena 2025,” a creative initiative that celebrated the richness of Filipino cinema while promoting experiential and lifelong learning.
The event offered Communication students a platform to express creativity, teamwork, and cultural appreciation through the art of performance.
“SinEksena 2025” invited students to recreate and reinterpret memorable scenes from beloved Filipino films, turning academic knowledge into vivid storytelling. In “Un/Happy for You,” Andrea Nicole Magsino and Ken Sapunto captured the heartfelt emotions of youth and vulnerability. Khate Ann Aya and Vermeil Chern Caspillan brought humor and confidence to “You’re My Boss,” while Eros Jedric Brosoto and Carl Martinni Dalangin portrayed resilience and defiance in “Dekada ’70.”
Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education, particularly Indicator 4.3.2 – Public Events (Lifelong Learning), the project emphasized the value of creative activities as a form of continuous education. It encouraged students to strengthen their communication and collaboration skills while deepening their understanding of Filipino culture.
Through “SinEksena 2025,” the Young Communicators’ Guild reaffirmed its mission to cultivate expressive, insightful, and socially aware communicators. The project proved that learning goes beyond the classroom—it thrives in creativity, collaboration, and cultural storytelling.
