Cagayan State University–Gonzaga Campus officially opened its ASEAN Month Celebration 2026 on August 3, with students, faculty, staff, and university officials donning cultural attire in a vibrant display of Southeast Asia’s rich heritage. The event also marked the launching of the campus’ first-ever WEAVE Program.
The kick-off program commenced with the ASEAN Solidarity Parade, led by Vice President for Internationalization, Partnership and Resource Mobilization (IPRM) Prof. Dr. Ana Marie C. Cauilan and Campus Executive Officer Prof. Dr. Froilan A. Pacris Jr., together with faculty members, staff, and students.
The opening ceremony also featured the message of Officer-in-Charge University President Prof. Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez, the presentation of the rationale for the ASEAN Month Celebration, the official launch of Program WEAVE, the Pledge of Commitment toward ASEAN Awareness, and the ASEAN Solidarity Dance.
As the first initiative of its kind on the Gonzaga Campus, Program WEAVE aims to strengthen ASEAN awareness, foster regional cooperation, and promote a deeper appreciation of the region's shared cultural heritage through a series of month-long activities that encourage the CSU community to celebrate the collective identity and unity of the ASEAN region.
