๐๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ | CTE Pep Squad, "CTE Falcons", soar high in the University Week 2024 Cheerdance Competition
In line with the celebration of the 33rd Founding Anniversary of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa (PLMun), the College of Teacher Education (CTE) participated in the Cheerdance Competition, an activity prepared for the official opening of the mentioned celebration, on May 28, 2024 at PLMun grounds.
Each team must first accumulate a minimum of 15 and maxium of 30 team members as one of the requirements for joining. The CTE Falcons was led by the CTESC Cheerdance Committee Head/s, Mr. Hurry Jay Neponcio and Ms. Arjhean Biasong, and the CTE Pep Squad Captain, Ms. Marielica Arnaldo.
"Halos araw-araw sila kung mag practice. Sobrang dedicated ng ating CTE Pep Squad para sungkitin yung koronang nais talagang makuha ng CTE last year pa. Maraming naging diskusyon, maraming naging problema, maraming hindi pagkakaunawaan, pero nawala lahat ng iyon dahil nga buong-pusong ipinakita ng CTE Falcons ang kanilang persistence and perseverance para manalo." qouted from the statement of Mr. Neponcio when asked about the preparatory stage they went through before their successful performance.
The CTESC also emphasized their gratitude to their coaches, Coach Mark, Coach Venella, and Coach Stephen, who were also the coaches of last year's CTE Pep Squad.
Although the schocking win was not anticipated, as quoted by their Head, their determination paved their way to success. Given the energy they showed during the performance, the CTE Falcons was ready to take home the pride.
Sending his regards to his team, Mr. Neponcio said, "I want to say thank you to all the CTE Falcons, CTE Faculty, the CTESC Officers, our co-edukados sa kanilang support, and of course, our very own adviser, Ms. Mary Jane T. De Vera. Especially sa ating CTE Falcons Captain, Marielica Arnaldo, and to other captains na tinanggap ang challenge namin ni Arjhean, another head of Cheerdance Committee, na tumayo at maging guide ng cheerdancers. Kay Arjhean na kahit may sakit ay nilalaban para magkaroon ng props. Kay Pres Jay and other CTESC officers na patuloy na naghahanap ng sponsors para magkaroon ng pondo at matulungan ang CTE Falcons. Walang sawang pasasalamat dahil ang pakapanalo na ito ay bunga ng lahat ng sakripisyo niyo. Sabi natin last year, we will come back stronger, and we did. Ang ating goal naman next year ay back-to-back champion. Laban, Eduk!"
CTE Pep Squad Captain, Ms. Arnaldo, added, "Unang una I would like to say thank you so much to our co-EDUKados for believing, supporting, and giving their 100% support to the CTE Falcons. Lagi ko ngang sinasabi sa nga teammates ko na 'wag silang papadala sa malaking crowd ng ibang department, but ginulat kami ng CTE students na kayang kaya nila ilabas yung energy namin to perform dahil sa mga cheer nila samin. We really appreciate it, so very thankful and grateful talaga sa presence ng mga EDUKado sa competition.
And for my teammates, sobrang daming lapses na nangyari and alam nila 'yan. Pero despite that, mas pinili nilang ilaban, ibigay, at ipakita nila kung anong kaya nilang ipakita. I am very happy and grateful to be the captain of this year's pep squad dahil sobrang desido silang manalo at iuwi ang korona sa CTE.
So for my CTE squad, congratulations guys! We deserved this win! Thank you for giving all your sacrifices, efforts, and time para maging successful ang routine. Hindi niyo ako binigo sa sinabi kong "Walang uuwi sating talo, atin na 'to!" Thank you guys for trusting and believing in me as your captain. Sama sama nating itaas pa ang bandera ng CTE. Again, congratulations for a very deserved win! Mahal ko kayo!"
