Wazzup Pilipinas! 

17th day of September. Tanghalang Pasigueño. Team Araw. Fourteen representatives, but only one goal. 

I can say that we’ve been practicing for so long. Too much things had been sacrificed. Even in times of bad weather, we’ve all been together. Yes, everything is tiring, but definitely it was all worth it; from the practices, preparation, problems that just came up, everything. 

That day will always be memorable for me and I believe for all of us, not just because that was my first real interpretative dance contest I joined but also because the contest itself and the venue were absolutely legit. 

On the contest proper, one thing I know is that I enjoyed every single second that passed while we were performing. Every school, every contestant prepared their own explosions for them to win. But only one should win, luckily that’s us.“And the winner is… contestant number 6! Pasig City Science High School!” the line we won’t forget, ever. And honestly it took us how many days to recover and to relax ourselves from too much bliss.

A Family To Remember

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last August 16, 2013, our section, IV Berzelius, was proclaimed as the champion in the Aerodance competition. We are all filled with overflowing joy when we learned that we continued the legacy of the former batches. Aside from that, we are amazed to know that we have made history as the last champion in the said competition.

I know each section have exerted their efforts and I’m glad to say that those efforts were not wasted. The joy of performing in front of our fellow Pascians is enough as a reward. Seeing the welcoming smiles and hearing the loud cheer of the Freshman and Sophomore students are more than enough for us to be uplifted and motivated to do our best.

To add up to Berzelius’ outstanding accomplishments was the title “Natatanging Pamilyang Filipino”. Since this is our last school year here, we decided to make the celebration unforgettable. We designed the room and made sure that it would give you a comfortable ambiance, one that can be felt whenever you’re with your families or loved ones. We also assigned people who will entertain our guests and show them the different Filipino customs which are portrayed by our fellow classmates within the four corners of the room.

Bringing Home the Bacon

Wazzup Pilipinas!

During September, many events are happening, especially in schools. Many programs and activities are being held, holidays that are being celebrated, storms that are being reported, and of course, contests or competitions that are being opened. In schools, joining contests is necessary. Teachers, students and even staffs are always busy for them. It doesn’t matter if it is a quiz bee, a sports fest, art or dance contest, but the point is that we are willing to join and eager to win.

In our school, Pasig City Science High School, a memorandum was sent to our trainer and school paper adviser, Ms. Riza Zuniga. Secondary Schools Press Conference was going to be held at that month and it will take place at Sta. Lucia High School in Pasig. Some of us were chosen to join the competition.

Gee Ann Barro, Alonzo Miranda, Shana Enaje, Audrei Ruiz, Lui Banzon, Nicole Saludares, Lucel Bael, David Islanan, Jeromir Bondoc, Aurora Valles, Angela De Guzman, Marjhane Raña, Ivan, Shanney Garay, I, and others were the representative of the school. All of us were assigned in different category and I was assigned in Editorial Cartooning and Photojournalism, English category. We trained and prepared during weekdays until the competition. We practiced our skills and our trainer gave us some tips. We prayed and hope that we will win.
