The College of Allied Medical Professions (CAMP) and College of Nursing (CON) clashed over spot in the semi-final round of intercollegiate debate this afternoon at St. Cecilia's Auditorium, AUF Main Building.
CAMP contenders, Chloe Athena Tobias, Mark Edwin Santiano, Angelica Samaniego, outshone CON over the proposition: "๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐จ๐ค๐ก๐ซ๐๐...๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ก๐ค๐ฌ 16 ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐จ ๐ค๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ช๐จ๐ ๐ค๐ ๐จ๐ค๐๐๐๐ก ๐ข๐๐๐๐."
CAMP representatives strongly opposed the motion, emphasizing that, rather than imposing a blanket ban, a more effective strategy would involve educating children and parents about safe online practices, digital literacy, and mental health support. It was pointed out that such a ban could potentially stifle the growth of digital skills crucial for the future workforce.
In an interview, Mark Edwin Santiano quoted that the argument was compelled effectively during their debateโexpressing their team's strength and weakness.

Samaniego, a second-year radiologic technology student, was also under pressure, as she had limited time to lay out responses during interpellations.

Despite the rollercoaster ride, CAMP contenders successfully sealed their spot for the final rounds of the debate competitions as Tobias concluded their final defense as the negative side of the house, quoting that everything is good but in moderation.
