ALPAS NEWS Volume 1, Issue 1, Aug 2019-Jan 2020 10 THE FALL OF THE CHAMPIONS Allain Josef Ortigas and Crizza Mae Anonical The Bosconian Cheerdance Competition (CDC) is one of the most awaited yearly activity for many Bosconians every year. It is the event where students showcase their talents, skills, and potentials. The CDC gives Bosconi- ans the opportunity to strengthen their skills and talents, and to improve their collaborative skills by communicating to other Bosconians from all levels. The Bosconian core values of Faith, Integrity, Collaboration, En- terprise, and Service are observed and practiced by Bosconians through the CDC, which then translate to the activities that they faced everyday. This year’s Cheerdance Competition is deemed historic. The mag- nificent event stunned everyone in the gymnasium. It was a tragedy for others, but for others, it was a redemption. The sections Kowalski, Ri- naldi, Rua, and Sandor were all blazing that night. The students showed their skills, and proved themselves by performing with their hearts. Through Faith, Collaboration, and Enterprise, they showcased their skills to the audience, not just in their dance and cheer skills, but also in their arts, crafts and props. During the event, the students proved that they were passionate in what they were doing, and it showed, as what the audience saw was prime considering the performers’ ages. The reigning champions, Rinaldi, was the champion for 8 consecu- tive years and lost their campaign to win this year. Though they did their best, there were deemed better competitors Houses. The houses and their respective themes. that were prepared for that event. Rinaldi lost the throne to the previous champions before their 8-peat winning streak, enabling Rua Nation to reclaim glory which once belonged to them. Rua proved that night that they were relatively better, if not the best, among their three other competitors, the two other being Sandor and Kow- alski. The winning group said that it was a sweet victory and a redemption for other Bosconian alumnx who were once a Rua. The Rua Nation is proud of itself, and its member proved that they did their best to reclaim the throne that was once theirs. Even though Rinaldi lost and Rua reclaimed the championship title, they all still belong to one Bosconian team fighting together. All at the end of the day were true champions in their own ways, because everyone knew that each of them did their very best in the competition. All proved in the CDC that Bosconians can do ordinary duties extraordinarily well by collaborating with each other and having Faith in God. Ascende Superius.
