The Capiz State University (CAPSU) Roxas City Main Campus officially opened its Intramurals Meet 2025 on September 23 at the Dadivas Gymnasium, anchored on the theme “Advancing CAPSUnian Spirit Through Sports and Cultural Excellence.”
On behalf of CAPSU President Dr. Efren L. Linan, Dr. Mary Ann B. Martelino, Vice President for Administration and Finance, delivered an inspiring message to the participants. She emphasized that the essence of the intramurals lies in upholding the CAPSUnian values of excellence, pride, and community spirit. “It’s about giving our all, pushing ourselves to be the best, and showcasing our talents and abilities,” Dr. Martelino said.
