2015 Nutrition Month: Jingle Intersection

July 20, 2015, Monday –Bearing the nutrition month theme, “Timbang Iwasto

sa Tamang Nutrisyon at Ehersisyo”, high school students, dressed in different costumes in accordance to their themes, gathered in the lobby to represent their section’s jingle for the intersection competition.

The first performers, the Grade 10 Perseverance showcased a theme which focused on children in a mental institution, escaping nurses providing shots with huge injections. 

Grade 8 Integrity followed with their James Bond concept, all equipped with black vests.

The third performers, the Grade 9 Prudence circled around a juvenile gangster concept, with blue bandanas tied around their foreheads. 

Grade 7 Courage followed, dressed in dark pants and polo shirts, sang in unison for their choir theme.

The fifth performers, the Grade 8 Unity performed a lively zumba concept which centered around a young, obese boy clinging to exercise to lose weight. 

Grade 10 Fortitude, all in different colors and face paint,focused on the elements and meditation to promote a peaceful mind and a healthy body.

The seventh performers, the Grade 9 Justice, dressed in all black and face tattoos, came in as rebels in their jingle. 

Grade 7 Loyalty, the last performers, entered as chefs cooking up healthy, nutritious food.

“I chose Perseverance. They had a concept that I didn’t expect. All were having fun because their juvial expressions fit in with their concept,” Khylle Cabusas, a jingle participant from Grade 9 Justice, said when he was asked on which performance struck him the most.

“Basically, any concept would fit as long as it matches the personality of the dance and the performers,” he added.

Grade 10 Fortitude, Grade 9 Justice, Grade 8 Unity and Grade 7 Courage rose as victors of the intersection jingle competition.

Each high school level now has to prepare for the interlevel jingle completion, which will be held next Thursday, July 30, 2015. The first placer will have to perform in the nutrition month culminating activity.

“I feel that we can do it because we want to win, and also because it is our last year in high school.” Marie Cairo, a Grade 10 jingle participant, said when she was asked on what the Grade 10 would do for the interlevel competition.
