The Guimaras State University (GSU) delegation—known as the Sea Dragons—assembled under the guidance and leadership of University President Dr. Lilian Diana B. Parreño to anchor their competitive aspirations with a solemn invocation and morale-raising dialogue ahead of the 2025 State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) National Games.

Held this year in the volcanic archipelago of Camiguin and spearheaded by Camiguin Polytechnic State College, the SCUAA National Games gathers athletic contingents from 93 state higher education institutions across the Philippines. The weeklong sporting conclave showcases a range of disciplines and is recognized not only for its athletic rigor, but also for cultivating solidarity among youth leaders from diverse regions.

Dr. Parreño, in her message, stressed the importance of embodying the university’s ethos both on and off the field. She urged the Sea Dragons to exemplify grit, integrity, and humility, affirming that their presence transcends competition.

As the SCUAA National Games 2025 officially begin, the Sea Dragons enter the arena fortified by institutional encouragement and a shared resolve to bring honor not only to their alma mater, but to the province of Guimaras.
