BulSUans are not just acing in the academic aspect, as they can be sporty and competitive too.

This October 16, three years after the pandemic's emergence, Bulacan State University's Intramurals 2023 finally took place, with the theme "Balik Saya, Buong Sigla, Sa Bagong Simula."

The week-long event kicked off with a parade from the Activity Center to Valencia Hall, which was well-attended by faculty, students, players, and coaches as well.

Every BulSuan hailed the event's opening and showed support for their respective student-athletes who competed across different university sports competitions.

Despite minor issues, particularly in the huge number of learners that attended the event venue, where special contests were set up, it still ended up being ultimately a success.

In this aspect, the College of Information Technology (CIT) and the College of Education (COED) obtained Mr. and Ms. Intramurals 2023 on the opening day.

After the enthronement of the new BulSU's Mr. and Ms. Intrams, the College of Arts and Letters took the championship for the Hip Hop Dance competition.
