Each float celebrated the rich cultural elements and traditions of ASEAN member countries, including the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam.
"With the vision to become a leading industry state university in the Asian Region by 2030. The industry we are referring to is the future workplace of our students," Dr. Elbert M. Galas, PSU President, said.
Each float highlighted key landmarks and national costumes from the represented countries, enhancing the cultural appreciation and unity among Southeast Asian nations.
"Nagiging opportunity po ito para ma-appreciate ng bawat isa ‘yung iba’t-ibang culture natin," Sunshine Cruz, a student, said.
