The CELLubong 24-25 event warmly welcomed both returning and first-year students, creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie within the CELLS community. Held from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM, the event featured a simple booth where students could interact, connect, and engage in an exciting mini-game that rewarded them with small treats. This initiative encouraged social engagement and inclusivity, making it a fun and memorable experience, especially for the first-year students. The booth also served as a space for students to reconnect, exchange conversations, and capture moments together. Beyond the games and giveaways, the event highlighted the hospitality and welcoming spirit of the organization, ensuring that new students felt comfortable and valued. Due to health concerns caused by heavy fog, students were later advised by the municipal office to return home to avoid any risks. Despite this, the event successfully fulfilled its goal of motivating students and setting a positive tone for the new academic year. 

Following the event, the CELLS officers took the initiative to clean and pack up the venue, ensuring everything was properly organized. The success of CELLubong 24-25 demonstrated the organization's commitment to fostering a supportive and engaging environment for students. By promoting active social interaction and meaningful connections, the event set the foundation for a strong and united academic community. This initiative not only welcomed students but also encouraged a spirit of companionship that will continue throughout the year. 

The officers of the Circle of English Language and Literature Students (CELLS) recognized the importance of a bulletin board as a vital communication tool for keeping members informed about upcoming plans, projects, and announcements. On August 28, 2024, the officers gathered at the reading hub to revamp their bulletin board, dedicating their time and effort from early morning until 2:30 in the afternoon. With commitment and teamwork, they carefully designed an engaging and informative board to enhance communication within the organization. One officer took charge of designing the layout, while others cut out printed images showcasing past CELLS activities, university goals, and announcements. A "tarpapel" background was added to make the board more visually appealing, aligning with the theme "CELLSgram." Meanwhile, two officers cleaned the display area, ensuring that the board was properly showcased. The team worked 

together to arrange the materials, placing key elements such as the vision, mission, and core values in prominent positions. To make the board more engaging, they also added images from previous events, fostering a sense of community among members. 

Despite taking longer than expected, the officers enjoyed the process, using the time to discuss future CELLS activities and strengthen their bond. The teamwork and shared enthusiasm made the project not only productive but also a moment of camaraderie. The new bulletin board turned out vibrant, informative, and visually appealing, effectively fulfilling its  purpose of keeping members updated. It stood as a testament to the officers' dedication and collaboration in enhancing  organizational communication. Their hard work resulted in a meaningful accomplishment that will benefit CELLS members for the rest of the academic year. This successful initiative inspired them to take on future projects with the same commitment and enthusiasm. 

The Circle of English Language and Literature Students (CELLS) launched the Fabric on Cycle project on September 11, 2024, to acquire reusable materials for future organizational events. The project aimed to reduce costs by eliminating the need to rent fabrics, ensuring that CELLS had a long-lasting resource for decorations and other event purposes. The officers took responsibility for purchasing various fabrics that would suit different themes and aesthetics. They began their journey early in the morning, traveling to Lipa Public Market to find high-quality, durable fabrics that could be used multiple times. By carefully planning their purchases, they ensured that the selected materials would be cost-effective while maintaining visual appeal. Their search for the right fabric started at 8:00 AM, focusing on durability and practicality. The officers had already identified the required colors and quantities to ensure sufficient material for upcoming events. 

After exploring different stores and comparing options, the officers purchased 18 yards of Golden Yellow fabric, 7 yards of White fabric, 30 yards of Orange fabric, and 16 yards of Black fabric at Ellen Textile for a total of Php 1,775. They also bought an eco bag for Php 30 to carry their purchases conveniently. After completing their shopping at noon, they traveled back to Jose B. Zuno Campus, spending a total of Php 1,930 on the project. The initiative successfully provided CELLS with sustainable materials for future use, demonstrating resourcefulness and proactive financial management. Beyond the financial benefits, the project fostered teamwork and responsibility among the officers, who worked together to improve the organization’s resources. Their efforts ensured that CELLS would have well-prepared materials for future events while avoiding unnecessary rental expenses. 

The Circle of English Language and Literature Students (CELLS) successfully launched the Zuñoan Mass on September 24, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Batangas State University Jose B. Zuño-Rosario Campus. This event aimed to foster spiritual growth and gratitude among students, with the participation of the College of Teacher Education (CTE) and the College of Accountancy, Business, Economics, and International Hospitality Management (CABEIHM). The mass served as a reminder for students to reflect on their faith, express gratitude, and find strength in God’s presence throughout their academic journey. CELLS remains committed to holistic education, integrating spirituality and wellbeing into student life. A special blessing was also given to students preparing for the Licensure Examination for Teachers, offering them guidance and strength for their upcoming exams. Additionally, other students were invited to receive blessings, creating a sense of belonging and renewed faith. This event not only reinforced the importance of spirituality in education but also strengthened the bond among students through shared faith and prayer. 

Following the Zuñoan Mass, CELLS conducted another meaningful event, CELLS Growth and Faith, at the Cong Dong Building, particularly in CTE 102. This session, attended by 42 students, was designed to enhance spiritual growth and community among CTE and CABEIHM students. It began with a heartfelt performance of "What a Beautiful Name It Is," setting a reverent tone for reflection and worship. Pastor Don Tecson then delivered a powerful sermon on the Prayer of Jabez, emphasizing the importance of intentional and consistent prayer. The session encouraged participants to deepen their personal prayer lives, fostering a collective journey of faith. As the event concluded, a final prayer was offered for healing and blessings, inspiring students to carry these lessons into their daily lives. The officers ensured that the venue was cleaned and organized, marking the end of a successful and spiritually enriching activity. 

The CELLitS: Cellians’ Literary Treasures and Shares event was held on November 8, 2024, at Batangas State University-The National Engineering University, Jose B. Zuño-Rosario Campus. Organized by CELLS officers and project heads, the event provided BSEd English students a platform to showcase their talents in news writing, feature writing, headline making, and broadcasting. Competitions took place in CTE 103 and 104, running from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, despite minor challenges such as scheduling conflicts and venue adjustments. The event successfully highlighted the creativity and skills of participants, with winners recognized later during the CELLIAN Nexus awarding ceremony as part of CTE Days. 

Beyond competition, CELLitS 2024 fostered a deeper appreciation for literature, writing, and broadcasting among students. The dedication of the CELLS officers, advisers, and members ensured a smooth and engaging event, reinforcing a sense of community and intellectual growth within the organization. Through this initiative, CELLS continues to inspire aspiring writers and broadcasters, strengthening their confidence and passion for the literary arts. 

The Circle of English Language and Literature Students (CELLS) successfully launched a fundraising booth on October 21-22, 2024, as part of the 25th Founding Anniversary of Jose B. Zuño-Rosario Campus. Selling customized bracelets and refreshment juice, the initiative aimed to raise funds for future CELLS projects while bringing joy to the Red Spartans community. Despite the rainy weather and an approaching typhoon, CELLS officers and project heads worked together to set up and decorate the booth, attracting buyers from various departments, particularly College of Teacher Education (CTE) and College of Accountancy, Business, Economics, and International Hospitality Management (CABEIHM) students. The personalized bracelets and refreshing blue lemonade were well-received, making the booth a lively and engaging part of the celebration. 

Although initially planned for five days, the booth's operations were cut short due to Tropical Storm Kristine, leading to class suspensions and an early closure. By the end of the two-day sale, CELLS had generated a total profit of Php 400.00, despite the challenges. While the event was affected by the unfavorable weather, it successfully fostered camaraderie among CELLS members and left a positive impact on the Zunoan community.

The Circle of English Language and Literature Students (CELLS) once again demonstrated its dedication to advocacy and community engagement through “EcoHeroes: The Great Clean-up Adventure.” This initiative aimed to instill environmental responsibility by conducting a campus-wide clean-up while also supporting CELLSupport, an outreach program that provides financial aid to less fortunate CELLIANs. The event began with an orientation led by Chairwoman Cathleen Joy D. Ramos, who emphasized the importance of collective action in creating meaningful change. Participants, consisting of CELLS officers, members, and volunteers, were divided into teams and assigned specific zones to ensure an organized and efficient clean-up. Armed with gloves, garbage bags, and tongs, they diligently worked to collect litter, sort recyclables, and restore the cleanliness of hallways, pathways, gardens, and other key areas of the campus. 

By 11:20 AM, the campus had been transformed into a cleaner, greener space, demonstrating the impact of teamwork and commitment to sustainability. In addition to its environmental success, the initiative raised PHP 100.00 through voluntary contributions, which was donated to CELLSupport, furthering CELLS’ mission of social outreach. To sustain these efforts, CELLS introduced a monitoring system where student representatives will oversee campus cleanliness, ensuring that the values imparted during the event continue to thrive. More than just a clean-up drive, EcoHeroes embodied CELLS’ core values of compassion, unity, and service, proving that small, collective efforts can lead to lasting change. This initiative left a profound impact on the CELLIAN community, reinforcing the power of advocacy and the importance of being stewards of both the environment and society.

CELLSupport, an outreach initiative by the Circle of English Language and Literature Students (CELLS), was established to provide assistance to less fortunate CELLIANs through in-kind donations and monetary support. Spearheaded by Chairwoman Cathleen Joy D. Ramos, the program selected Jennilyn Castillo (English 2101) and Manilyn Sulayao (English 3101) as its first beneficiaries after a fair and thorough nomination process. Jennilyn, an orphan, has struggled financially while pursuing her education, while Manilyn, from a family of ten, faces daily hardships relying on her father’s small income. Their selection reflected CELLS' commitment to recognizing and supporting students who demonstrate perseverance despite adversity. 

The awarding ceremony, held on November 29, 2024, at the Reading Hub in the Inandan Building, gathered CELLS officers, advisers, and beneficiaries in a meaningful celebration of generosity and unity. Each recipient received a food package from in-kind donations and Php 800 in financial aid, partially funded by the EcoHeroes clean-up initiative. More than just an act of giving, CELLSupport highlighted the power of community and collective action. It reinforced CELLS' core values of compassion, service, and solidarity, proving that small efforts, when united, can create  lasting positive change.
