In preparation for the Intramurals 2011 this December, the Supreme Student Council (SSC) would be organizing a pre-intramural activity dubbed the Talent Show on October 7th, Friday, at Playsite Recreation Center, Ma-a, Davao City. With this year’s theme “Knock Out Barriers, Kick Out for the Goal,” four teams would be contending to secure their position in the Intrams’ standing: Avast, Avira, McAffee, and Kaspersky. According to SSC Adviser Krichelle May Milan, the council decided to conduct a pre-intramural activity to separate the talent show competitions from sport events. The SSC believed that this would help the students concentrate more on the categories that they are going to join. In addition, the SSC wanted to condense the number of events during the intrams to lessen the pressure on the part of the students so as not to affect their academic performances. The Pre-Intramural 2011 Talent Show will be divided into seven categories: Vocal Solo, Vocal Duet, Acoustic Singing, MV Spoof, Folk Dance, Hip-Hop, and Dancesports. The point system that will be used for the event will be the same as last year: 100 points for the first place, 75 points for the second place, 50 points for the third place, and 25 points for the fourth place. No show teams will be automatically disqualified.
Team McAffee dominated the recently concluded Pre-intramural 2011 Talent Show which took place at Playsite Recreation Center in Ma-a, Davao City last October 7. Leading by 25 points, McAffee bested the other teams on the following events: Vocal Solo represented by Edralyn Pastrana, Acoustic Singing represented Mary Joy Adriano, MV Spoof led by Francis Paul Avelino, and Dancesports represented by Klinn Mark Bayogos and Ana Liezel Lucmayon. The team accumulated a total of 850 points placing them on top of the ranking. Close behind is the Team Kaspersky with 825 points which they garnered after bagging the first places in Vocal Duet (Kyno Justiniani and Karen Esparcia), Folk Dance (consisted of CBA and NTT students), and Hip-Hop (NTT Sophies). Meanwhile, Team Avast and Avira fell to third and fourth places after earning 400 and 275 points respectively. The points that each teams had procured will be added to their scores that they will be earning during the Intramurals this December thus team advisers had enjoined their members to give off their bests for the upcoming event. The Supreme Student Council or SSC had split up the talent show from the sports events in order to minimize the number of events for the intrams thus giving more time for the students to train themselves for the sports categories.
To formally mark the opening of the school year 2011-2012, ACLC Davao with the initiative from the SSC, had celebrated its acquaintance party on August 4, 2011 at The Tent in Matina Town Square (MTS) at 4:00 pm. The main objective of the event is to gather all the students from every year level and different courses to be able to get acquainted with each other and had fun together.
The party commenced with the entrance of all teams with their masks on and was followed by a welcome address from the SSC President, Dennis A. De Guia. De Guia congratulated all the students that attended the event and wished the attendees a memorable acquaintance night. After his speech, the Soci0-Cultural Club (SSC) gave their explosive opening salvo which enlivened the participants.
After a series of presentations, the officers and advisers from different clubs such as SSC, SCC, English Club, and Hyperlink, were called to take their oath in the presence of the School Director, Mrs. Mary Jane V. Dalagan.
Winners were then declared before Mrs. Dalagan closed the event. According to the school director, the Le Masquerade was one of the most memorable acquaintance party because all the teams participated in the presentation and cheering contest.
BOIS sophie Damsel Faye Undales was hailed as the Best Mask while NTT freshman Hubert Miguel Asence and SD freshman Aiza Vinturado were heralded as the Duke and Duchess of Amity. On the other hand, SD freshman Christopher Andales and BOIS freshman Ana Liezel Lucmayon were crowned as the Emperor and Empress of the Night. Group awards such as Best Presentation, Best Cheer, and Liveliest Team were given to Green, Red, and Black team respectively.
The votes are in and the results are official --- the students of ACLC Davao had finally decided and welcomed the new set of officers for the Supreme Student Council (SSC). The automated election took place on July 22, 2011; it paved way for a faster and systematized election which provided convenience not only on the part the students but as well as for the facilitator. The same system was also used for the last year's election.
Dennis De Guia, along with his partylist members, swiped almost all of the positions in the SSC. The new president was not really expecting that he would win the election as his rival candidate, Vejay Paragili, had also proved to be a tight competitor. However, in the end, De Guia was the victor and expressed his gratitude towards his constituents.
