Public Speaking Competition April 20, 2016 (Wednesday)

The best of the best, the battle of skillful speakers. Six participants from each block was chosen to compete in the Public Speaking Competition to be held in their perspective rooms. The eight finalists will be judge in the auditorium. While the others who are not competing will stay at the auditorium including me.

While we are waiting for the participants, they had an activity for us, which is inclined to public speaking. The first activity was the "speed speech", the host will give a word that you should talk about and he will give you another word that you should make a good transition from the last word he gave you. One representative from each class was chosen; From our block, Marlou Macalalad represent. Actually, he did not want to the it, but he had no choice because we pushed him to do it. He did his speed speech amazingly! He said a lot of good phrases and made a good transitions. And, he won the activity.

The next activity was "debate", two from each block will represent. From our block, Fritz Alferez and Paulo Dinsay was pushed also to the activity. At first, I'm making them feel good about it and telling them that they can do it. But inside my head, I was laughing. While they doing their debates, I keep on laughing; Sorry about that, they're just funny. But in some points, they did it well. I was impressed actually that they delivered it with good intent. Even though they didn't won, they still have prizes.

The final representatives for the activity "debate" from our block was Geraldine Bravo and Grace Anne Murillo. The topic that they should defend about, sneakers is better than high heels. They delivered it flawlessly and they won.

 

The participants came and they announced the eight finalist. We were glad that from our block, Jerica Valerio and John David Gullle was picked. The other finalists are Stephanie Kung, Joshua Nel Francisco, Chelsea Anne Dave, Tyron Santos, Evgenia Limbaga, and Napoleon Labuson. Jerica and Jod shared their speeches about "Integrity has no need of rules". I was very impressed and so our blockmates too. They gave their best delivering their speeches! And I was rooting for them that they will win.
