ARGAO, Talaytayโ€”The Basketball Girls division opened with back-to-back thrillers on the rainy afternoon of October 8, 2025, at the Philippine Science High Schoolโ€“Central Visayas Campus gymnasium. The court was divided in half for simultaneous gamesโ€”Abode of Behemoth vs. Temple of Manggad on one side and Casa di Vivace vs. Balay ni Lakan on the other. Despite the cold air and gloomy weather, the energy inside the gym was anything but dull. Both matches marked the start of the Basketball Girls bracket, with each house showing spirit and skill in every move.

On one half of the court, Behemoth and Manggad faced off in a tense, fast-paced battle. With only three players on the court per team and a single basket in play, the pressure was high from the start. Behemothโ€™s Singuit quickly became the gameโ€™s standout, moving smoothly and confidently across the court and landing early shots to give her team a 3โ€“1 lead. Manggad responded with aggressive plays, scoring for their side and keeping the game neck and neck at 4โ€“4. Both teams displayed sharp passing, quick footwork, and tight defense, but in the final ten seconds, Behemoth managed a clutch shot that sealed their 6โ€“5 win as the clock ran out.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Vivace dominated their match against Lakan. From the start, Vivaceโ€™s Yu set the tone with aggressive plays, scoring the first basket and quickly extending their lead. Lakanโ€™s Lucero tried to match her intensity, while Tumanda stayed strong in defense, intercepting passes and blocking attempts. Despite their efforts, Vivaceโ€™s synergy and speed proved unstoppableโ€”Yuโ€™s shooting streak brought the crowd to life, earning cheers as she continued to score. Sy followed up with another shot, widening the gap. By the time the buzzer sounded, Vivace had shut out Lakan with an impressive 7โ€“0 victory.

The day ended with Abode of Behemoth edging out Temple of Manggad 6โ€“5, and Casa di Vivace overpowering Balay ni Lakan 7โ€“0. With these results, Behemoth will advance to face Vivace in the winnersโ€™ bracket, while Manggad and Lakan will battle it out in the lower bracket.

ARGAO, Talaytayโ€”The second Basketball Boys match of October 8, 2025, at the Philippine Science High Schoolโ€“Central Visayas Campus gymnasium saw Balay ni Lakan and Abode of Behemoth clash in a high-energy losersโ€™ bracket showdown. With a semifinals slot on the line, both teams entered the court determined to keep their championship hopes alive. The result, however, was a clear display of Lakanโ€™s precision and confidence as they powered past Behemoth with an explosive offense and tight defense.

The game started with an energetic pace as both teams traded early shot attempts, though most fell short. Lakan quickly found their rhythm, draining back-to-back three-pointers from multiple players to take an 18โ€“1 lead. Behemoth answered through Shoemakerโ€™s efforts, hitting two three-pointers to keep the score moving, but Lakanโ€™s consistency helped them end the first quarter strong at 29โ€“9.

In the second quarter, Behemoth continued to fight, but Lakanโ€™s momentum only grew. Jaum and Castillo contributed three-pointers that widened the lead, while Shoemaker remained Behemothโ€™s main scorer, landing another pair of long-range shots. The gameโ€™s intensity rose as both sides battled fiercely for control, yet Lakan maintained command, finishing the half at 41โ€“17.

The third quarter showcased more of Lakanโ€™s dominance. With confident shooting and sharp coordination, they landed five more three-pointersโ€”two courtesy of Ramirez and Villarte. Behemoth managed a single long-range response from Shoemaker but struggled to contain Lakanโ€™s rhythm. The quarter closed at 57โ€“26 in favor of the house of royals.

By the final quarter, the tension remained high, but the outcome was all but decided. Behemoth fought with heart until the end, led again by Shoemaker, who continued to put points on the board. Lakan, however, remained unstoppable from beyond the arc, sinking four more three-pointers before sealing the match at 69โ€“42.

With this victory, Balay ni Lakan advances to the Basketball Boys semifinals, where they will face Temple of Manggad, while Abode of Behemoth exits the tournament with heads held high and full of grace.

ARGAO, Talaytayโ€”The gymnasium of the Philippine Science High Schoolโ€“Central Visayas Campus was alive with noise and energy on the morning of October 8, 2025, as Abode of Behemoth and Casa di Vivace faced off in the Volleyball Boys winnersโ€™ bracket. Following the earlier girlsโ€™ match between Lakan and Vivace, the crowd had grown thicker, the cheers louder, and the stakes higher. Both teams entered the court with confidence and focus, ready for what would become the first three-set game of Sportsfest 2025.

The first set opened evenly, both teams showing sharp plays and strong coordination. Behemothโ€™s precise sets from Abing and solid spikes from Bellester and Jagunos kept them slightly ahead, though Vivaceโ€™s aggressive attacks and a service ace from Ganob made it a close battle. The crowd roared as the score reached 17โ€“17, but Behemothโ€™s consistent defense and quick rallies helped them close out the set, 25โ€“21.

Vivace came back stronger in the second set, displaying explosive energy and powerful spikes that kept Behemoth on edge. Ortega delivered a crucial service ace, while Perez and Alcuirez led Vivaceโ€™s charge at the net. Behemoth still held their ground through Abingโ€™s skillful sets and Jagunosโ€™s spikes, but Vivaceโ€™s intensity carried them through to take the set 25โ€“18, tying the match 1โ€“1.

The deciding third set was a thrilling exchange of power and precision. Both teams fought point for point, tied early at 6โ€“6, before Vivace briefly pulled ahead. Behemothโ€™s composure, however, began to showโ€”Abing and Biรฑan worked in perfect sync, and Behemothโ€™s defense became nearly impenetrable. Vivace continued to strike hard but struggled with overpowered spikes and errors under pressure. With the score at 21โ€“14, Behemoth found their rhythm and maintained control until the very end, taking the final set 25โ€“19.

The game ended with scores of 25โ€“21, 18โ€“25, and 25โ€“19, giving Abode of Behemoth a 2โ€“1 victory over Casa di Vivace. With this win, Behemoth secures their spot in the Volleyball Boys Championship, waiting for their next challenger.

ARGAO, Talaytayโ€”The final volleyball match of Sportsfest Day 1 brought together two powerhouse teams, Abode of Behemoth and Temple of Manggad, in an intense Volleyball Girls showdown at the Philippine Science High Schoolโ€“Central Visayas Campus gymnasium on the late afternoon of October 7, 2025. As the sun dipped lower, its golden light filled the court while cheers from both sides echoed across the gym, bringing an energetic end to a full day of competition.

Tension was clear from the start. Both teams entered the match with confidence after their earlier wins, but Behemoth quickly took control, establishing a 5โ€“0 lead right out of the gate.

Behemoth sealed it 25โ€“12, showcasing their control and composure.

The second set began with Manggad showing renewed determination. Despite moments of miscommunication, they displayed strong defense and powerful serves, including a service ace from Degamo. The late afternoon air brought a calmer tone, but the intensity on the court stayed high. Behemoth maintained their advantage through consistent plays from Secong and Navarte, pushing ahead 13โ€“6. Manggadโ€™s Yano answered back with sharp serves, narrowing the score to 20โ€“17 as the gym filled with chants and tension rose with the setting sun.

ARGAO, Talaytayโ€”The final Volleyball Boys game of Sportsfest Day 1 took place on the cloudy afternoon of October 7, 2025, at the Philippine Science High Schoolโ€“Central Visayas Campus gymnasium. Following three straight volleyball matches earlier that day, the energy in the gym remained high as Abode of Behemoth faced Balay ni Lakan.

The first set began evenly, with both teams trading points and displaying solid effort. Behemoth started strong but struggled with several errors early on, while Lakan stayed composed through consistent receives from Navarro and leadership from Batucan. With only six players on their lineup, Lakan played with no substitutes, pushing through every point with determination. However, Behemoth soon found their rhythm, pulling ahead 12โ€“7 through strong serves and attacks despite multiple rotational errors. From there, they maintained control and closed the first set 25โ€“16.

In the second set, Behemoth continued to dominate with powerful serves and well-timed spikes from Bellester and Jagunos. Lakan fought hard to stay in the game, relying on the steady efforts of Batucan, Navarro, Bague, and Sarabia to keep rallies alive. While many of Lakanโ€™s points came from Behemothโ€™s service errors, their persistence kept the game competitive. Still, Behemothโ€™s strength and consistency proved too much to overcome, sealing the set 25โ€“17 and the match in straight sets.

The game ended with final scores of 25โ€“16 and 25โ€“17, giving Abode of Behemoth a confident victory over Balay ni Lakan. Behemoth will advance to face Casa di Vivace in the next round, while Lakan will move to the lower bracket to play Temple of Manggad.

The first Table Tennis matches of the Sportsfest took place on October 7, 2025, in the PSHS-CVisC Main Conference Room, with each match being a best-of-three. Despite what the scores imply, each game was hard-fought, and every victory was earned. The atmosphere in the room shifted as each match was about to start, and the audience only grew louder as the event continued.

The first female singles match was between Manggad and Lakan. Even after playing in a volleyball match minutes before this event, Mikhaela Bajenting of Manggad showed no signs of fatigue as she confidently took a 2-0 victory. The first male singles match simultaneously took place between Manggad and Behemoth, with Marionne Bautistaโ€™s composure and consistency allowing him to secure a convincing 2-0 win for Behemoth.

The next batch of singles matches followed immediately after, featuring the matchups of Behemoth vs. Vivace for male and Lakan vs. Vivace for female, respectively. Due to her experience in the previous school years, Jewel Soria of Vivace comfortably won 2-0 against Lakan. For the next male singles match, Kurt Ganob snatched yet another 2-0 victory for Vivace, thanks to his fast-paced and explosive playstyle.

All of todayโ€™s matches ended with a 2-0 sweep, but it is a double-elimination tournament. There is no reason for any player in any bracket to drop their guard in their upcoming matches, as each victory in the second half of matches will carry more weight than it would today. The upcoming matches on the following day will truly show the spirit of all houses.
