The annual charter day of Iligan City which served as the 67th Araw ng Iligan was successfully celebrated by Iliganons last June 16, 2017, at the Anahaw Amphitheater, Iligan City through the initiative of the Local Government and administration of the city Mayor Celso G. Regencia. Despite the threats and reverse that the city government has been receiving because of this terrorist issue, it was not a hindrance or reason for Iligaonons to not pursue celebrating their annual event. It was said to be a grand triple celebration and a 3-day activity but it was extended until June 17 and 18, 2017. Activities were held through massive and tight security measures implemented by the law enforcers of the city of Iligan.
With this annual event, Michaelis had been able to show their participation in this kind of community involvement activity through the games being held specifically, in the field of football game during the 67th Araw ng Iligan Football Festival. The Michaelite participants or players of the football game were all college students of different courses and were accommodated by the Department of Student Affairs head, Mrs. Sheryl Aruta. The game was being held on June 17 and 18, 2017 at the Global Football Field, Suarez, Iligan City. Fortunately, with the determination and courage, the sportsmanship of Michaelites that they had showcased upon playing the game has been paid off and worth playing. Michaelites again brought pride to SMC as they took the spot of being the 3rd runner-up in the 67th Araw ng Iligan Football Festival.
According to Mrs. Aruta, Michaelites
are always willing to look forward to joining or participating in this kind of
community involvement activity throughout the upcoming years.
