Up Sandigan held its Sportsfest last February 4, 2005, organized by the Internal committee and was headed by Ms. Jen Tesorero. The event started later than expected, 9:30 am, with most of the members present.
As usual ,before anything began, prayer was said to guide the event and the members to avoid possible injuries. People were required to warm up to wake all those sleeping muscles and stressed UP minds. The weather complied and the event was pushed through successfully.
The games were all fun, some were even Survivor-inspired. The members were grouped into two in each of the games. The games were: Out-of-the-tali race, Slingshot contest—where Vernie stood out, shooting many targets, Spelling bee, Tug-of-War—wherein hands were hurt badly and almost scraped just to defend their dignity, Dodgeball, Sports relay and Shoot-that-water-balloon.
Some games were done at the parking lot, in front UPS tambayan, there was one held at lagoon and all of the after-lunch games were held at the Sunken Garden to occupy a wider space for the recharged energy of the members.
Awards were given at the end of the games:
Astig award: France
Kulang sa iron award: Vernie
Early bird award: Cherry
Poise ever award: Dada (an applicant)
Best Picture: Janeth
Megaphone award: Arden
Ms. Congeniality: Rachel
Sporty and Bibo awards: Maan
Despite all the never-ending suggestions, the Internal committee stayed patient and focused on the mission to end the day with smiles on everyone’s faces. - SM
