UP Open Debate held

Tournament last September 11. (c) Ms. Jean Sales
The UPIS English Club - Forum was invited to watch the championship round of the 25th annual UP Pi Sigma Fraternity Open Debate tournament last September 11, 2012 at the Malcolm Theater, Malcom Hall UP Diliman.

The affirmative side from the UP Manila Debate Circle and the negative side from UP Diliman’s Indie A debated on the proposition “RH bill should be implemented for the better of women.”

Each side had two speakers and a scribe. The speakers were given 7 minutes each to give their speeches and were then asked questions for 3 minutes. After all speeches and questions, each speaker gave rebuttals. The jury consisting of 7 professors decided that the negative side won.

The debate was opened by guest speaker, Mrs. Maria Corazon Tan, a lecturer from the UP College of Mass Communications and was moderated by Mr. Jose Bayani D. Baylon.  by Joanna Pagulayan, Camille Custodio, and Hannah Garay

Time for Another Change

Change seems to be the trend in the school this school year and it is happening at a blistering pace. Gone are our old blue pants and skirts with red and black now the school’s preferred colors. The old administration has also said goodbye. New authorities now wield power in our school. However, when enrollment came along, it was another change shocked that everyone. The old four day schedule bit the dust and everyone was stifled when they heard the news that Monday was again going to be a school day.

The change in schedule aims to give students more time for library work and for consultations with teachers. It also aimed evenly distribute the amount of work that students used to cram in four days. This was in response to a survey where parents and students alike were given an opportunity to voice their concerns and preferences about the old schedule.

Limang Araw na Naman

Ngayong pumasok na ang pang-akademikong taong 2011-2012, maraming pagbabago ang sumalubong sa mga estudyante. Bukod sa bagong administrasyon ay nagbago rin ang iskedyul ng mga mag-aaral – mula sa apat na araw na pasok ay naging limang araw ito.

Nagsagawa ng sarbey sa mga magulang at estudyante noong nakaraang taon ang Office of Research, Development, and Publications (ORDP) upang malaman ang kanilang saloobin tungkol sa 4-day schedule. Sa nabanggit na sarbey, mas pabor ang respondents sa apat na araw na pasok. Ngunit lumabas din sa sarbey ang ilang concerns ng mga magulang- kulang ang oras para sa mga co-curriculars at extra curricular activities, pananaliksik, make-ups sa iba’t ibang sabjek, at konsultasyon sa guro.
