The College Department of Assumption College of Davao (ACD) wrapped up its College Summit 2025 with a heartfelt celebration through Himig Pasasalamat: A Concert for a Cause, held last April 12, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the ACD covered court. The event served as the grand culmination of the summit, blending the joy of music with a deeper purpose: giving back to the academic community.
The concert brought together students, faculty, alumni, and partners in a lively evening marked by outstanding performances and meaningful causes. Headlining the event were local crowd-favorites Jayson in TOWN, viral sensation Rowell Divina, and the comedic talents of the Davao Comedians, whose performances brought both laughter and inspiration to the audience.
The event’s theme was thanksgiving and unity, embodying the spirit of pasasalamat (gratitude) not just through music but also through action. Organized as a fundraising initiative, Himig Pasasalamat aimed to generate support for the improvement of college facilities—an investment in the future of ACD learners.
“This year’s College Summit has been a celebration of leadership, innovation, and student involvement. Himig Pasasalamat was the perfect closing note—joyful, unifying, and impactful,” shared Mr. Melvin Jay M. Canoy, faculty member and event coordinator. “Every song, every laugh, every ticket purchased contributes to a bigger mission—to uplift the educational experience of our students.”
Beyond the music, the event featured food stalls, creative booths, and interactive areas that transformed the campus into a festival-like space, brimming with energy and community spirit. It was not just a concert; it was a gathering that reflected the heart and soul of ACD—compassionate, collaborative, and committed to progress.
As the sun set and the final encore ended, the message of Himig Pasasalamat continued to echo in the hearts of all who were part of it—gratitude is best expressed when it becomes a bridge to serve others. With its success, the event leaves behind not just memories of a spectacular evening but a legacy of purpose-driven celebration.
