PRISAA MEET GenSan 2023 Kicks Off | Yrah
Embracing camaraderie, building friendships, and promoting good sportsmanship, socio-cultural and academic participants, and student athletes from nine colleges and universities in General Santos City gathered at The Word for Everyone Ministries in Barangay City Heights on February 25, 2023 for the opening of the annual Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) Meet.
Participants from their respective schools lined up for the opening parade, with Brokenshire College SOCSKSARGEN Inc. being the first to be introduced amidst enthusiastic cheers from the crowd and a lively dance performance. They were followed by Cronasia Foundation College, Gensantos Foundation College, Inc., Mindanao Polytechnic College, STI College of General Santos, Stratford International School, and Notre Dame of Dadiangas University.
The crowd went wild as Holy Trinity College, the overall champion of PRISAA Meet 2022 and the defending overall champion for 16 consecutive years, made its entrance, followed by Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges, the host school of PRISAA MEET GenSan 2023.
Ms. Aileen Grace T. Montejo, MA, GenSan PRISAA President, and SSO Director of RMMC, said, "It is a privilege for us to host today's event, and we are proud to provide a safe and secure platform for our students to showcase their abilities and participate in an exciting and competitive atmosphere."
This year's PRISAA Meet national theme is "Sports excellence among the Filipino under the new normal," and Mr. Johann Sebastian Millado, MBA, RMMC's Executive Assistant for Admin and Finance, acknowledged the passion and commitment of student athletes for sports, also giving them a warm welcome message on behalf of the whole RMMC.
Despite being overseas, Dr. Kristoffer Franz Mari R. Millado, Ed.D, RMMC's President, managed to send a short message to officially open the PRISAA Meet GenSan 2023, which was then a cue for students and coaches to take their oaths with devotion and sincerity.
The oath-taking was then followed by dance and musical performances, keeping the crowd entertained and allowing them to enjoy the rest of the event.
RMMC was victorious in two socio-cultural competitions: Vocal Duet and Chorale.
