SALATAGAN is a Tagalog term that means steadfast, firm, or resilient. It describes someone or something that stands strong and unwavering, much like an island that endures waves and storms. In our concept of Kapwa Island, Salatagan symbolizes the enduring strength of Filipino identity, memory, and tradition.

As the official brand of the University's Student Week Celebration, SALATAGAN represents more than a series of competitions — it is a holistic platform for student growth and excellence. By integrating literary arts, cultural, and sports events, the celebration nurtures intellectual competence, artistic creativity, physical well-being, leadership, teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. It provides meaningful opportunities for students to discover and develop their talents while fostering a strong sense of identity, camaraderie, and institutional pride.

Anchored in the University's commitment to outcomes-based and holistic education, SALATAGAN cultivates graduates who are resilient, innovative, culturally grounded, and socially responsible. It celebrates the balanced development of every MarSUan student, recognizing that true excellence is achieved not only through academic success but also through character formation, creative expression, physical fitness, and active engagement in the university community.
