"Salamatsamgabatang 'to. Anggagalingnila. Hindi nga kami nagkamalisapagpilisakanila,"
Ms. Imelda Biglang-Awa said, one of the trainors of the contestants.
With this year's theme,
"Breaking Barriers: Strengthening Partnership towards
Transformation," the YMCA of the Philippines held its annual National
Academic Olympics with different delegates coming from the regions of Northern
Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas Region, Mindanao Region and lastly, the Manila
Bay Region. But unfortunately, the incumbent president of the YMCA of the
Philippines Mr. Felix Eliral R. Refuerzo told us that the Mindanao Region was
not able to send their representatives for the said competition.
"Angsaya-sayanamin.Hindi naminakalaingmakaka-abot kami rito. Because
this was our first time that we've been able to join a National-level contest.
And luckily, we won," Karen Joy B. San Diego remarked.
The said contest had
its other different categories namely Singing contest, Extemporaneous Speech,
Oratorical Contest, On-the-spot Poster Making and Modern Dance. We had our
school's candidates in these said categories but they weren't able to join the
National contest for they didn't qualify to advance to the Regional Level.
The Distric level of the said
contest was held at the Carlos P. Garcia High School last November 20, 2012
while the Regional level was held on January 12, 2013 at the Conference Hall of
YMCA Manila Downtown.
The trainors/coaches were given
Certificates of Recognition aside from the medals/trophies and Certificates of
Merit given to the winners.
