Antipolo City Senior High School (ACSHS) delivered its culminating activity for Grade 12 learners, themed โSynergy in Art and Motion: Showcasing Culture, Art, Identity, and Health Through Hip Hop Dance,โ at Barangay Santa Cruz Covered Court on Thursday, November 27.
The event started with an inspirational message from the School Head Coordinator, Dr. Ramir Phil Punzalan, followed by Sir Jordan HOPE Teacher. That was all brought together by hosts Kevin Mathew Cabangon and Charzel Fiansae Gomez.
Students from the Academic Trackโincluding ABM, HUMSS, and STEMโas well as the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) strands such as AS, EIM, HE1, HE2, and ICT, actively joined in this event.
Performers embodied culture by weaving Filipino and global influences into their art, showcasing creativity through movement, music remixes, props, and costume design, while expressing identity through selfโexpression, group uniqueness, and social relevance, and promoting health by inspiring fitness, energy, teamwork, and a positive lifestyle.
The dance style is primarily hip-hop with the integration of cultural or folk traditions, contemporary techniques, and street dance elements to create a dynamic fusion of movement.
The performance will be judged based on creativity and originality (25%), theme relevance (20%), performance quality (25%), stage presence (15%), and costume and visual impact (15%), for a total of 100%.
Judges Sir Mark Mararac, Sir Reymond Vicente, and Maโam Erika Calonia evaluated the learnersโ performance.

Teachers from ACSHS share their personal experience in this culminating event.
โAs a teacher, I saw the tremendous effort of my students, and I want to thank them because whenever they work on performance tasks, they truly give their full 100%. They also show great sportsmanship, knowing that whether they win or lose, they accept the results based on the judgesโ scores,โ said Maโam Rose Ann T. Tenito, a HOPE teacher.
โThis school year 2025โ2026 is very intense, even more intense than last year, and the performances are truly leveled upโso beautiful, with all the efforts clearly seen in the backdrops, props, and costumes. Itโs good, and I am very happy because I really saw the effort of my students during the first and second quarters,โ said Maโam Patricia James Estrada, CPAR teacher.
โFirst of all, I would like to commend and appreciate our learners, especially under the supervision of their teachers, for encouraging and boosting morale in showcasing skills, talent, and creativity through hip-hop dancing. The posters displayed were fabulous and enjoyable, reflecting the effort and dedication of everyone. It was truly a great success, with everybody supporting one another, particularly in the dance performances coordinated with CPAR and HOPE teachers,โ said Dr. Ramir Phil Punzalan, School Head Coordinator.
โIt was a nice experience to be one of the judges in the culminating activity of the Grade 12 learners in our school. I witnessed the dedication, effort, and eagerness of the students to perform well and to win. I hope this will not be the last, because I heard that this might be the final culminating activity due to the new curriculum,โ said Maโam Erika Calonia, one of the judges.
โI truly hope it continues, because I saw the perseverance and effort of the students, and most especially, I saw how much they enjoyed what they were doing. That is what matters mostโwhen we enjoy studying, we become more motivated to do well,โ she added.
Furthermore, the event not only showcased the talent and creativity of the learners but also highlighted their dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship, making the culminating activity a meaningful and memorable success.
