Celebrated every 18th of September all over the world, the World Bamboo Day pays homage to the incredible benefits of bamboo and its role as a sustainable resource.

As part of UA’s niche, the “Kawayan,” and the manifestation of becoming a bamboo university, the Bamboo Center, led by Mr. Reynaldo Mistio, joined the yearly simultaneous bamboo planting happening at San Remigio, Antique, today, September 19, 2025.

Let us be reminded of the importance of the bamboo, not just as a fast-growing plant, but also for its significant environmental, economic, and social impact. And we, as one Kasubay community, should work together to raise awareness, help safeguard our bamboos, and treat them as an important part of our tradition and heritage.

Happy World Bamboo Day!
