“[A] good game, not winning but fighting, as fighting maroons always say,” Ramsie Esguerra, the UPIS girls’ volleyball coach, said after he was asked on his expectations before their first game against UE last July 27 in Xavier School.

The team recently joined the Metro Sport Developmental Clinic league in preparation for this years’ UAAP games. Unfortunately, they lost 2 sets against UE, 9-25 and 12-25.

Coach Esguerra also said that joining this tournament is for the girls’ to gain experience and for him to see what they have learned from their months of training. He focuses more on the members’ individual skills which is also his basis for choosing the 12 girls who are currently in the line-up.

Team captain Melyssa Remorca of 9-Cacium also shared that she expects the team to always play a good game. She also hopes that the school will show their support by watching their games. / by Shaila Fortajada and Celine Medina

In preparation for the UPCAT last August 3 and 4, UPIS batch 2014 (XIV) held a batch day-out and pre-UPCAT activity last July 29 at the Multipurpose Hall.

Led by this year's Senior Council, the activity aims to be a stress-reliever and batch bonding to strengthen batch unity. The program included an Amazing Race which challenged the seniors' physical strength, creativity and team spirit.

Afterwards, Kevin Domingo and Archie Maramag of UP organization Lifebox gave tips on taking the state university’s admission test. Lastly, a prayer was said to bless the batch in taking different college admission tests. / by Shaila Fortajada, Czarina Sikat, and Alissa Villareal
