BE STI: Celebrating Thirty Years of Excellence

September 27, 2013

After a yearlong kick-off celebration, the much-anticipated festivity has finally arrived! On September 27, 2013 more than 20,000 students from STI Campuses nationwide marched to Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna to witness another milestone in the history of STI and to become part of its 30th Grand Anniversary Celebration.

In commemoration of its thirty years of excellence, the entire community is challenged to be the best that they can be by embodying the ideals of an STIer through a culture-building advocacy dubbed as BE STI. It is a long-term crusade anchored on our vision to mold individuals into competent and responsible members of society through a set of attributes that we want to instill in our students — conscientiousness, creativity, emotional maturity, pro-activeness, critical thinking, effective communication, and lifelong learning.

Exceptional skills and talents were showcased in big hit talent competitions which were held at Enchanted Kingdom’s Enchanting Events Place to accommodate the astounding number of students who came from various key cities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

STI’s homegrown music talents took the stage for the Battle of the Bands and STI Idol Solo Singing Competition. The new Enchanting Events Place was also filled with loud cheers from the crowd as it set the arena for the Hataw Sayaw Group Dance Competition and the much-awaited Search for Mr. and Ms. STI 2013. The contestants of these events are winners in their own right having championed their respective regional and local competitions prior to the National Level competitions.
