Their collective commitment to faculty welfare and development was the cornerstone upon which the success of these Friendship Games was built.
At the forefront of the logistical and operational planning was the MSU System Faculty Federation and MSUMarawi Faculty Union officers. Their efforts were crucially supported by the tireless coordination with the Union Presidents of every campus,Noli Vergel E.Kirit (MSU@Naawan), Ronaliza M. Wagas (MSU-TCTO), Javer C. Borngo (MSU-MCEST), Warziv D. Bacarat (MSU-SND),Thor L.Domato Jr (MSU-Buug), Sadat Abdulrashid (MSU-Maguindanao), Bainare B. Pintino (MSU-LNCAT), Tres Tinna Dela Cruz (MSU-General Santos) along with Allen Alikan of MSU-Sulu and Leo Santillana of MSU-IIT that ensured seamless communication with their delegation.
Working in close partnership as the primary co-organizer was the MSU-Main Campus’ College of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation (CSPEAR). Under the exceptional leadership of Dean Mirian Aman, the dedicated faculty and staff of CSPEAR provided vital technical expertise. They also mentored a talented corps of student officiating officials from the WHIVERS, BOSS, SOCIABALLS, whose professionalism and fairness were evident in every game. This collaboration was key to the smooth execution of the sporting events and was further bolstered by the enthusiastic backing of the Dr. Abdulrashid Lucman and Dr. Atreju Mikhail Sam Gallardo.
Equal recognition is due to the personnel from the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management (CHTM). Their culinary expertise and tireless work in preparing and managing the food for all participants ensured that everyone was graciously hosted throughout the games.
The event also received tremendous support from the chancellors and heads of all participating MSU campuses, whose cooperation was essential for ensuring the full and enthusiastic participation of their respective faculty delegations. Special mention is given to the exemplary support from Superintendent Cairany D. Gandamra of MSU-Lanao National College of Arts and Trades (LNCAT) and Chancellor Dr. Sheila Magolama of MSU-Buug Campus. We also acknowledge the gracious hospitality of Chancellor Dr. Elnor C. Roa and MSU-Naawan for hosting the federation’s planning meetings.
The successful execution of an event of this magnitude would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of the various other working committees. From logistics and accommodations to security and program management, their hard work ensured a seamless flow of activities.
Furthermore, the university system extends its most profound gratitude to its major partner and generous sponsor, the Bangsamoro Sports Commission (BSC). The commission’s substantial contribution was pivotal in elevating the scale and quality of the games. Special thanks are accorded to the BSC Chairperson, Sultan Dr. Arsalan A. Diamaoden, whose enthusiastic support underscores the commission’s commitment to promoting well-being across the region.
The success of this event is a shared victory for the entire MSU community. To every individual who played a part, your dedication has left an indelible mark on the spirit of the MSU System. Thank you!
