7-10,
UPIS Batch 2013, popularly known as 13est, showcased a cool, colorful, and creative interpretation of Bacolod’s Masskara Festival to win their second straight title in the annual Power Dance competition last December 2012.
Drawing on the ISKULtura theme for UPIS Week 2012, the batch field demo competition, dubbed UPISAYAJUAN, was inspired by Philippines festivals.
Each batch rigorously prepared and rehearsed an 8-minute routine in 2-3 weeks. Driven by batch spirit and healthy competition, everyone worked their hardest in practices after classes and weekends.
Batch 2013 admitted to having trouble in getting the routine done properly and making it all go together. There were a lot of incidents of clashing ideas but despite these, the batch pulled it off during performance day where the strength of their camaraderie and unity set aside all their differences turning it into their most successful and fulfilling performance yet.
Batch 2015 also wowed the crowd with their Ati-atihan-inspired routine, coming in second, while Batch 2014 showed off their dancing skills for third.
Batch 2013 also won Best in Costume for their fiery garments and masks while Batch 2014 won Best Cheer for their catchy tune. ● Rya Ducusin, Bianca Pio
