Public Speaking Competition

Game of Speaking Skills: Day 1

Another day to remember and might as well mark it on my calendar.

                It’s just another normal day, hot temperature, few students because it’s a Wednesday. All of us were on chill mode, except for the public speaking contestants. It was a Wednesday, and the only class we have on that day is APPROJ, and we all know that we ABMA students aren’t that much obliged to attend the class because the SoMA Week is done. It was supposed to be our rest day (assumption only.) the fact that attendance isn’t necessary, me and my block-mates went to school and go straight ahead to the auditorium and supported our ABMA 151 brethren.

                The contestants went to a separate room; they left the auditorium because there was elimination for them. So here’s the most embarrassing and yet, the most amusing moment of the day, we audiences (ABMA students and SoE students) together with some members of APC Speaks were tasked to buy the contestants some time while they are out there fighting for the eight spots. My block-mate Marlou went to the stage for speed speech and won 1^st place. Now, here’s the highlight of my blog, me and Frits Alferez was chosen to represent our block for the debate. We were both nervous and we still managed to laugh at each other. So the topic was “Which is better, to walk from APC to Lapu-Lapu or ride the shuttle?” So Frits and I chose the walking side. frits stated that it’s more healthier to walk and plus, it is economical. While I on the same side spoke about that we are living in a poor country and the opposite side dares to “LANG” three pesos. At the end we all had fun.

                So moving on to the competition, two of my block-mates qualified for the finals, it was Jod and Jerica. Oh wait, there’s also this one girl who spoke about Megamind and the other villains who fought for their integrity, I like her speech so much. Back to my block-mates, Jerica was good, her speech was great but Jod on the other hand, outshined all the other contestants; his speech was marvelous, incredible, astounding. His speech was the best.

                So might as well say farewell! I have to say goodbye now because I haven’t slept for days now, and it’s unjustifiable!!! I have to fight for it! Integrity at its finest! Ciao!
