The spirit of camaraderie, culture, and academic excellence filled the campus of Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) as the 22nd National Congress of Veterinary Medicine Students (NCVMS) marked its second day on February 4, 2026, with a vibrant lineup of activities that showcased the heart and soul of the University.

The day officially kicked off with a University Tour around the scenic TAU campus, where delegates from various veterinary schools across the Philippines were warmly accompanied and assisted by the enthusiastic Tourism Students of the College of Business Management. Serving as student-guides and ambassadors, the Tourism students ensured that participants experienced not only the physical landmarks of the University, but also its rich history, culture, and commitment to academic excellence.

A warm and festive welcome awaited the delegates as the entire TAU community came together to greet them through captivating performances by the TAU Performing Guild and the TAU Chorale. The cultural presentations highlighted Filipino artistry and creativity, setting an uplifting tone for the rest of the day and reinforcing TAU’s reputation as a university that nurtures both intellect and talent.

Strengthening bonds among future veterinarians, a Solidarity Lunch was held at the TAU Continuing Education Center, where delegates, organizers, and faculty members shared not only meals but also meaningful conversations and experiences. The gathering reflected the unity and fellowship that the NCVMS continues to promote among veterinary medicine students nationwide.

In the afternoon, the spotlight shifted to academic engagement as Case Presentations were conducted at the TAU Amphitheater. Participants showcased their knowledge, critical thinking, and communication skills, fostering healthy academic discourse and reinforcing the congress’ goal of advancing veterinary education and professional growth.

Day 2 of the 22nd NCVMS stood as a true celebration of learning, culture, and solidarity, leaving delegates with lasting memories of TAU’s hospitality and vibrant campus life. As the congress continues, TAU proudly reaffirms its role as a nurturing ground for collaboration, excellence, and the future leaders of veterinary medicine in the Philippines.
