BAGUIO CITY — The Baguio Central University College of Criminal Justice Education conducted its final call for Intramural Sports Tryouts on January 30, 2026, at the BCU Magsaysay Auditorium. The event provided students a platform to showcase their athletic skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship as they prepare to represent the department in the upcoming intramural season.
The tryouts focused on basketball and volleyball, allowing students of varying skill levels to participate. Emphasizing discipline, camaraderie, and healthy competition, the activity highlighted the college’s commitment to holistic student development.
“The Intramural Sports Tryouts are not just about selecting athletes; they are about fostering teamwork, discipline, and pride in representing the department,” said Ma’am Chloe G. Nasungan, CCJE Sports Coordinator.
The activity was led by Ms. Chloe G. Nasungan with support from SGO Governor Jay D. Padilla and conducted under the approval of CCJE Dean Beca May Pidlao Palitayan. Oversight and mentorship were provided by SGO Adviser Ms. Laura Stephanie E. Gulla, ensuring the smooth and effective execution of the tryouts.
Faculty emphasized that the tryouts go beyond athletic ability. Students are encouraged to balance academic responsibilities with extracurricular involvement, translating skills such as teamwork, discipline, and leadership from the field to their studies and future careers in criminology.
With the tryouts concluded, CCJE looks forward to forming competitive and disciplined teams to represent the department in the upcoming intramural competitions. The activity supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-Being, which promotes healthy lifestyles and physical well-being, and SDG 4: Quality Education, which emphasizes holistic student development through the cultivation of discipline, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship.
