Si in his remarks expressed his gratitude because this is the first time since the pandemic period that we can gather in large numbers, although there are concerns but still maintain health protocols and hopefully the pandemic will become an endemic so that we can carry out activities as usual.

Ronny Adhikarya, Ph.D as an alumnus of Fikom Unpad who also attended the halal bihalal event conveyed his apologies physically and mentally, he was touched because in this place he started his career in Communication Science and thanked Mrs. Oemi Abdurrachman because she was the one who opened the way when he was a student at level one. Even though I was only at Fikom for one and a half years, it was very memorable and there were so many valuable lessons and experiences that I brought to America, he said. At the end of his speech he conveyed a message to all attendees to never forget history and in the communication process the key is to use the successes and failures of those who have used it before us.
Furthermore, Prof. Dr. H. Deddy Mulyana in his speech explained that Halal Bihalal in the language of anthropology is a rite just like if we have a birthday, wedding anniversary or circumcision which continues to repeat only the frequency of time is different but the point is the same basically reducing our age as humans. He conveyed that we should reduce bad habits and increase good habits and whoever wants to have his life extended and his sustenance expanded then connect the relationship.
