Cue and the MPSU community on May 29, 2026, at Basil and Lime in Samoki, Bontoc, Mountain Province. The gathering served as a meaningful occasion to foster camaraderie, cultural exchange, and stronger global connections among the delegates.
The evening featured lively performances from various international groups. Additionally, the Mountain Province State University Student Cultural Arts Group (MPSU-S**G) showcased the โpattong,โ a traditional Cordilleran dance that represents rhythm, unity, and cultural pride.
In a spirit of friendship, the APCORE delegation took part in the dance. With guidance from the S**G performers, they learned basic steps and rhythms, shared laughter over missteps, and celebrated culture together.
Their involvement represented not only friendship but also the consortiumโs dedication to welcoming cultural diversity and building global partnerships through shared experiences.
