The U-Day fever is starting! One of the most-anticipated events in CPU’s annual University Days celebration is the Search for Mr. and Miss CPU. Through the years, the Search for Mr. & Miss CPU has proven to be one of the most glamorous and prestigious pageants in the city of Iloilo. It has consistently produced young men and women who are not only endowed with the looks, but more importantly, are bestowed with the wisdom, grace, and compassion needed to effect change in this modern world.
