We are still on a high from PauliFest 2026 as the Paulinian Student Government brought the entire St. Paul University Dumaguete community together to celebrate our rich history, vibrant talent, and unwavering mission.

From the raw energy of our own home-grown talents in the Battle of the Bands—showcased by the phenomenal performances of the Junior High School Unit, Senior High School Unit, College of Arts, Sciences and Education (CASE), College of Business and Information Technology (CBIT), and the College of Nursing (CN)—to the electric vibe brought by Dumaguete’s very own Wilfredo, Milky Lazarita, and Soluna, the stage was truly on fire! Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the breathtaking choreography by the Paulinian Aninaw Dance Troupe, the PSN-PAC of the Nursing Department, and the Royal Elites.

To crown an unforgettable milestone, Adie took the stage and touched our souls with a performance that echoed through the entire campus.

But more than the music, the lights, and the applause, PauliFest 2026 was a celebration with a global purpose. By choosing to celebrate through service, this event directly championed several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Every ticket, every cheer, and every shared moment went directly to the SPUD Scholarship Fund, driving forward SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) by breaking down financial barriers and keeping a premier Paulinian education accessible to deserving leaders of tomorrow.

Furthermore, the festival uplifted community wellness and mental health through the power of creative expression, supporting SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). Led entirely by the Paulinian Student Government in harmony with local bands and internal academic colleges, the event also stood as a shining example of SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals)—showing what is possible when a community unites for a grand, impactful cause.

Thank you, Paulinians, for making history with us. Together, we continue to shine, to serve, and to be the Caritas Christi that moves the world!
