The Juniors win big in the Badminton events during the 2017 Intramurals last March 9, 10, and 13, 2017.

Grade 9 athletes Claire Aso, Shaq Villoga, and Emilio Bontia won Singles A Girls and Singles A and B Boys respectively in a series of heated hits between sets. Claire Aso lost to Carmen Bansig, Freshmen, during the 1st set with a score of 11-12. Aso was able to steal the game during the 2nd and 3rd set with 11-2 and 11-8. “At first I was so nervous before we started the game, I really thought I was going to lose,” Claire said. She also gave a message to all athletes who wish to stop trying to get the gold. “Just put faith in yourself and believe that you can still win.”

The Freshmen dominated against the Juniors in Doubles Girls   and Boys represented by Chrisha Tadios, Dave Deguinon, Dan Ballares, and John Jacobe. The Ballares and Jacobe duo had a very close fight with Dominic Ceballos and Vince Barimbad during the 2nd set with a score of 12-10. Dan Ballares said their victory felt like winning the lottery.  Tadios and Deguinon defeated Janille Obana and Jeneva Salutis with a score of 11-6, 11-7.

Seniors at Freshies kumampeon sa board games

Nangibabaw ang Senior chess team at Freshmen scrabble team kontra Junior High players sa Intramurals 2017 na ginanap noong ika-9 at 10 ng Marso.

Sinilat   ng  Senior  chess   boys,  na  ginampanan nina Kyle Supan, Erich Albaran at Joshua Haramil, ang Junior chess boys sa isang round robbin tournament sa unang araw ng palaro.

Ayon kay Sir Julius Buma-at, chess moderator, tanging dalawang koponan lamang ang nakipagtugisan. Agad na na-diskwalipika ang   Sophomores   at   Freshmen  dahil  sa kakulangan ng manlalaro at kawalasan ng gamitan.

Dumaan naman sa landslide victory ang Senior Chess girls nang humakot sina Chesty Flores,  Rachael Serrano,  Lois Laboga  at Angel Salaritan ng sampung puntos.

Pumangalawa ang Juniors, sumunod ang Sophamores at nahuli ang Freshmen.

Samantalang bumawi  naman ang Freshmen nang   nanguna sila sa larong  scrabble. Tinalo nina Jude Tadios, Johanna Abellanosa, Kaye Abellanosa at Abigail Caramol  ang Juniors na inirepresenta nina Shanisse Semoran, Khayla Carreon, Michael Osmil at Alyssa Plaza. Pumangatlo naman ang Seniors at nahuli ang Sophamores.

Isa sa mga inaabangan tuwing Intramurals sa ACT ay ang mga kalahok sa Mr. and Ms. Intramurals galing sa iba’t-ibang grupo mula pre-school hanggang sa sekondarya. Iba-ibang atake at awra sa harap ng mga tao at mga hurado na nagbibigay sa kanila ng kakaibang dating. At sa taong ito sa departamento ng Junior High, ang nakitaan ng sinasabing dating ay ang representante mula sa Seniors na si Erich Albaran na tinanghal bilang Mr. Intramurals at ang mula sa Sophies na si Angel Pedrano  bilang Ms. Intramurals.

          Nang tinanong ko si G. Jessie Ebina, dating Dance Master ng CNU Dance Company at kasalukuyang membro ng Priima Dance Company kung ano ang nakita niya kay Erich na nakuha ang atensyon niya; ang kumpiyansa raw nito at ang grabeng showmanship ng siya’y nagtanghal lalo na sa pagdadala niya sa kanyang bisikleta at nang binuhusan niya ang kanyang sarili ng tubig. Nakitaan naman ni Bb. Jessica Sol-lano, coach ng Center of Pop Cebu ng potensyal si Erich. Ngunit para kay G. Clemente Abalos III, kasalukuyang isang marketing manager, ang pambato ng Sophies na si Vince Tomaquin ang kanyang nagustuhan. 

Ang alindog at positibong awra naman ang nagpanalo kay Angel Pedrano para kay G. Ebina. Hindi raw ito masyadong mahiyain at ‘di rin masyadong makumpiyansa kun’di sakto lamang para sa kanya. “She is very beautiful. She is very attractive,” naman ang nasabi ni Bb. Sollano tungkol sa kalahok. Nakitaan niya raw ito ng hawig sa isa mga artista ng ABS-CBN. Dagdag puntos din daw ang dalawang dimples ni Angel at ang kanyang matamis na ngiti.

Sa katanungang ano ang masasabi nila sa pinakita ng mga kalahok, ang pagsisikap ng bawat isa sa mga kalahok ay talagang nakita ayon kay G. Ebina. Nagulat si G. Abalos sa grabeng pinakitang sikap ng mga kalahok kahit aktibidad lamang ito sa paaralan. Para naman kay Bb. Sollano, nakitaan niya ng buong potensyal ang mga sumali at alam niyang may itotodo pa ito. Ipinakita nila ang totoong kahulugan ng sportsmanship na siyang napakamahlalagang salik ngayong Intramurals.

 Junior high school sophomores rose as winners of the Pop Dance Competition yesterday, March 9, during the opening of the Asianista Games 2017.

Garnering an average of 90.93, they were proclaimed as the victor out of all four levels who performed modern dances in the JHS department.

“Well, they deserved it. The ranking is best suited from what we’ve seen and what they’ve shown,” Jessica Sollano, one of the three judges, said. She is a co-founder of the Priima Dance Company and the Coach of Center for Pop Cebu.

“They were synchronized and energetic, every figure emphasized. They have originality in music and routine. Among all, they stood out,” she reasoned why they were her first choice.

Another judge, Jessie Ebina, said, “Among the four, they were the ones I could recall well. Their performance was clean and visibly had impact. They had a created an image after the show.”Ebina is also a former dance master of the CNU Dance Company and a member of the Priima Dance Company.

After tabulating the results, it was seen that there was a close fight between the scores of the winner and the rest of the placers.

“The scores have small differences. But in the end, it was in the matter of who was the best among the four groups,” Sollano said.

Taking the title of first place was the ninth grade, the juniors, with an average of 89.63. The third judge and a member of the Bisdak Pride theater group, Clemente Abalos III, said that they were his main choice as victors of the contest.

The seniors followed the juniors in the ranking, bearing an average of 88.3. The freshmen came in third place with an average of 82.63.

“The way they all participated is a good thing and overall, for me, the event they made was very  nice,” Sollano said.

The said winners  will be receiving  awards during the closing ceremonies of the Asianista Games on Monday, March 13, 2017.
