The Central Philippine University (CPUSHS) Provincial Council aviated the week-long event, Lipad Lawin: Pre-flight, on September 18–23, 2023, held at the Rose Memorial Auditorium and Educational Media Center TV Studio.

For the kickoff of the event, Literary Musical Competitions started the voyage with its Filipino and English Declamation, Vocal Solo and Duet, Extemporaneous Speaking, Binalaybay, Oration, and Character Interpretation.

For the second day, Clash of Wits has an itinerary of Bible Quiz, General Information Quiz, Science Quiz, Math Quiz, Philippine History Quiz, and Centralian Knows Central, while on the same flight are the Journalism Competitions with their Feature Writing and Photojournalism in English and Filipino.

For the following days, Esports became the pilot and navigated the flight with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Call of Duty Mobile, which were held face-to-face, while League of Legends and Valorant were streamed online on Saturday.

On Friday, one of the highlights of the week-long voyage was The Hawkie Sounds Familiar, which took over the flight on its gradual departure and led the momentum into a successful one.
Each Republic (STEM, ABM, and HUMSS) take flight to exude their support for their candidates, waving the color of their banners with pride, unwavering despite the modes of each event, and exhibiting the true spirits of champions.

All in all, the flight with the theme “Traversing through Impossibilities, Flying Towards Success” landed passengers who were more than ready to reach another successful flight on the upcoming Centralian Fest 2023.
