The College of Business, Administration, and Accountancy (CBAA) of Laguna University, through the collaborative efforts of its four Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs): Laguna University–Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (LU-JPIA), Laguna University–Accounting Information System Society (LU-AISSOC), Union of Laguna University Tourism Associates (ULUTA), and Laguna University–Young Entrepreneurs Society (LU-YES) successfully conducted its first-ever CBAA Fest celebration.

The festivities began with an energizing “Bring Me” game, sparking laughter and excitement among participants as they eagerly searched for items requested by the hosts. The program formally opened with a warm welcome from LU-AISSOC Adviser Mr. Raven Tagle, followed by an inspiring message from BSEntrep Program Coordinator Mr. Jerwin Andres Anas, in which they both highlighted that this is the time to recharge from the academic pressure. The first main activity began after LU-AISSOC Vice President for Programs Mr. James Patrick Sison introduced the teams that qualified for the finals. This was followed by a short message from SK Councilor Hon. Dash S. Ramirez, who expressed his support in helping create an enjoyable and meaningful event. At the end of the tournament, Team “Trip Lang Po Hehe” awarded as champion, while Team “The Last Dance” secured the first runner-up position. One of the highlights of Day 1 was CBAA Got Talent, led by Mr. John Bill S. Ballesteros. Seven performers showcased their exceptional talents. Jasmine Palis from BSEntrep placed third, Contestant No. 2 from BSA earned second place, and the Entrep All Star group claimed the championship title.

Afterward, ULUTA Officers facilitated the parlor games, where BSEntrep students dominated four games, while BSA students won two. The culminating highlight of the two-day celebration was the Mr. & Ms. CBAA 2025 pageant, spearheaded by LU-AISSOC President Mr. Van Marco Boloron. The competition featured four segments: Production Attire, Student Attire, Casual Interview, and Formal/Evening Gown, judged by a distinguished panel.
The event concluded with the announcement and awarding of the Mr. & Ms. CBAA Kings and Queens, including special, minor, and major awards.
